City with a beautiful castle
Lysá nad Labem is mainly known for its exhibition grounds, but you can also take a nice sightseeing tour here, the top of which is, of course, the local chateau with an adjacent large park. The Augustinian monastery with vineyards is also interesting
B. Hrozný Square in Lysá nad Labem
A good starting point for a sightseeing tour of Lysá nad Labem is Hus Square, where you can park. From here we continue to B. Hrozný Square, which has a rather park character. There is a monument to the fallen in World War I, the defunct church of St. John the Baptist (floor plan) and the Statue of the Virgin Mary Immaculate
Church of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist
From the square you can see one of the biggest landmarks of the city – the Church of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist
Elbe Museum - Bedřich Hrozný Museum
Opposite the church is the Elbe Museum. There is a permanent exhibition Life and Work of Bedřich Hrozný,

Castle park in Lysá nad Labem
The castle park in Lysá nad Labem is by far the most beautiful part of this town, so it pays not to hurry anywhere and enjoy it here.
