Ostrava Travel Forum

I have a general question: Should I stop in Ostrava? My girlfriend and I get to go to Europe once every year, and this year--to my delight--we've chosen Prague/Krakow. Because I'm a Czech Republic junky, I've begun to look into stopping for one night in Ostrava on our way to Krakow (I've never been to Ostrava). I've been to many towns in Czech, and generally love every place I go. Do you think a night there would be worth it? Or should we just go straight from Prague to Krakow? We are both the adventurous types, but I fear Ostrava is the sort of town I would like very much, but others might think it a bit odd or intimidating given that neither of us speak Czech. I don't know if that makes sense. Just some general comments would be GREATLY appreciated!

HI .DOES ANYONE KNOWS THE BEST WAY (WITH LOW COST) FROM BUDAPEST TO OSTRAVA??

Dear all

I am thinking not to spend new year eve in Prague because it will be just full of turists and so I am really thinking to come to Ostrava for a couple of days, staying in holte Brioni just on the center.
Can you tell me how will be Ostrava in new year eve and if will be a nice nightlife eveining party atmosphere there???
PLease let me know so that I can decide,

I'm will be traveling to Ostrava,Cz with my wife around mid-September to meet her family. I don't speak czech, so maybe I wont speak for 2weeks. Do you know of puertorriquens or Americans living or visiting close to these dates in Ostrava area?

HI does anyone know where and how much it costs... best rates to hire a car in Ostrava, mainly for transport in and around Ostrava. Also what is required apart from a passport etc Thanks

I will be visiting my boyfriend in Ostrava for several days at the end of August. He will mostly be busy with seminars and concerts, so I will be on my own to explore. Does anyone have some recoommended day trips from Ostrava? I like to visit small old towns. Also can you recommend a nice spot in Ostrava to while away the town? Any nice coffee shops, magazine stores, etc?

Thank you!

I wonder if anyone can offer me suggestions on accomodation in Ostrava. The hotels I have found here on VT are fully booked for the 30th September. Does anybody know of any B&B's, etc that I could try?
