Villas in Hradec Kralove
Hradec Králové suits city-break travellers who want a river city with a Gothic cathedral and a lookout tower, about 95 km from Prague. The homes here have no private pool, so it works as a culture base, not a pool holiday.

About Hradec Kralove
Hradec Králové is a regional capital of about 94,000 people on flat ground where the Elbe meets the Orlice. The historic centre gathers around Velké náměstí, the Great Square, and the White Tower, 72 m tall, doubles as a lookout. The Cathedral of the Holy Spirit, founded in 1307, is the only Gothic church to survive the 18th-century fortress building. Jan Kotěra shaped its growth before the First World War and his pupil Josef Gočár in the 1920s, which earned it the nickname Salon of the Republic. Our homes sit in one tight cluster, mostly sleeping about six, with no private pool, garden or sauna and air conditioning in only some. Each October the city hosts the Jazz Goes to Town festival.

How far is Hradec Králové from Prague?
About 95 km, roughly 1 hour 10 minutes by car on the D11 motorway. The train takes about 1 hour 30 minutes and the bus a similar time, so a day trip either way is realistic.
Is Hradec Králové worth a stay?
Yes, if you like architecture. The Gothic Cathedral of the Holy Spirit, the 72 m White Tower and the early 20th-century city planned by Kotěra and Gočár give it a character different from Prague.
Is Hradec Králové good for a family holiday?
It depends on what you want. The homes have no private pool, garden or sauna, so children will not have space at the door, but the flat streets, river setting and day trips to Kuks and Jičín fill a week.
Which festivals take place in Hradec Králové?
Jazz Goes to Town runs every October and has done since 1995. Hip Hop Kemp, Rock for People and the annual Regions International Theatre Festival are also held in the city.
Can you fly to Hradec Králové?
Not on a normal UK flight. Hradec Králové Airport, about 3 km from the centre, is a domestic and private international airport, so most visitors fly to Prague and take the 95 km road or rail link.
