About
Lednice is a historic town in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic. It is best known for its palace and gardens, which form part of the Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. For many visitors, the town is a place to spend a relaxed day among landscaped grounds and historic architecture.
What to see
- The palace, the town's central landmark, set within its extensive grounds.
- The gardens, which are part of the wider landscape protected by UNESCO and suit a slow, open-air walk.
- The town itself, with its historic character and its setting in the surrounding countryside.
Planning your visit
Lednice works well as a visit in its own right, and its setting within the Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape means it can be combined with nearby sites in the same area. Because the palace and gardens are the main draw, allow time to walk the grounds rather than only passing through. Check opening arrangements for the palace and any particular areas you wish to enter before you travel, as these are not set out here.
If you enjoy historic parkland, heritage architecture and quiet countryside, Lednice offers a pleasant base for a day trip or a longer stop in South Moravia.
