The best attractions of Olomouc:
If you decide to explore the old town on foot, the most interesting sight
and by far the first which will come in your attention also by its 35 m
highness is the Holy Trinity Column, a religious monument built in the
baroque style more than 250 years ago. (expressing the gratitude for
surviving the plague outbreak that struck Moravia in the early 18th
century.)
The Holy Trinity Column was inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List in
2000, as the tenth Czech site.

Olomouc’s Town Hall
The Town Hall is another incredible thing to be
seen in the main square of the old town.
Like the town hall in Prague, it also boasts an
astronomical clock!

 Olomouc – the city of fountains
Finally we reach the topic of fountains. The Olomouc city has more
than 25 fountains, of which 3 are placed in the aforementioned
square of the old town: Caesar’s Fountain, Arion’s Fountain,
Hercules’s Fountain.
Other notable fountains are: Neptune’s Fountain from 1683 – the
oldest Baroque fountain in the city, followed by the Jupiter’s
Fountain (1707) . They are both located on the Lower Square.

Olomouc - conclusion
As if I were to give a review for a travel agency, I would say that,
Olomouc has a bit of mediteranean spirit, reminding me of Italian
spirit with its streets.
From my point of view, Olomouc is Praga but not so crowded.
Its well preserved Old Town belongs to the most beautiful ones in
Czechia and boasts a UNESCO World Heritage Site, which makes
it worth visiting with its uniqueness which cannot be denied.
