Bezručovy Sady

Olomouc


Bezručovy sady is one of several pretty parks that wrap around the old centre. The park has walking trails, playgrounds and secluded spots to admire the town and enjoy the meandering Mlýnský potok (Mill stream). There are several ways to access the park; perhaps the nicest is via a staircase that leads down from the rear of St Michael's Church at the southern end of Univerzitní.
