Ústí nad Labem town is situated in a beautiful countryside of a Labe valley in the north of the Czech Republic. It is in the heart of the Central Bohemian Uplands Protected Landscape Area and its famous valley called Porta Bohemica (or: The Gate to Bohemia).
Because of the good transport connections, the town is a natural starting point of trips to the region of Labe Sandstone Rocks, to the Bohemian Switzerland National Park, and to Krušné Hory Mountain Range.
The most notable parts of the town skyline are The Střekov Castle, Větruše (a small chateau with natural and mirror mazes, a lookout tower, and a restaurant), Mariánský Bridge, which is said to be one of the top ten structures of the last decade of the 20th century, and the Church of the Ascension of Our Lady. Its tower is deflected by 2 metres from the vertical axis!
In Ústí nad Labem, you can visit a lot of castles and chateaus (e.g. Blansko castle ruins, Krásné Březno chateau, Velké Březno chateau), interesting natural features (Erben’s viewpoint, Střekov viewpoint, Vaňov waterfall), and interesting museums (The Civil Protection Museum – the Underground of Ústí, The Model Trains Museum in Trmice Castle, The Municipal Museum of Ústí nad Labem), and the ZOO (with the attractive animal shows, night tours or the zoo-train).
