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
