Most tourists have an idea of Mladá Boleslav only as an industrial city with housing estates and few attractions to visit. At the same time, the Old Town of Boleslav has relatively enough interesting sights to see. So let's go for a walk around the Old Town and its surroundings

View of the Old Town of Boleslav

We can choose the beginning of the tour, for example, from the end of TG Masaryk's class, where you can usually park well. From here we have a view of the towers of the Old Town

Old Town Square in Mlada Boleslav

Finally, we are in the historic center of Mladá Boleslav, which is the Old Town Square. Unfortunately, there are also several houses from the time of the former regime, which spoil the square a bit. The center of the square is a column with a statue of the Virgin Mary

City Palace Templ

From the Old Town Square you can turn into a narrow street to the historic city palace Templ. There is a view of the Jizera valley next door, but thanks to the huge parking lot and the industrial zone, it is not a great beauty.
