Tel - the thirteenth-century town in Czechia, in the country of Vysočina, in the district of Igława in Moravia.
Characteristic
Telč is a lovely, rather quiet city. Certainly worth a stop if you are passing nearby, but there are not enough facilities to justify more than a short stay, unless you are interested in history or architecture - it is the best preserved of all Czech and Moravian Renaissance cities and the historical heart of the city has been inscribed in 1992 on the UNESCO World Cultural Heritage List. It is astonishingly beautiful thanks to the fishponds surrounding it which prevented the town from spreading, thus preserving the perfect town square, built in the 16th century. There is also an interesting palace from the same period.
Drive
By plane
The closest airport is Prague Airport. The airlines PLL LOT and Czech Airlines offer direct flights from Warsaw, and Ryanair from Krakow.
By rail
Railway connection from Kostelec near Jihlava (Wolframs) nearby Needles (Iglau). Near Ceske Budejovice (Budweis), Český Krumlov (Krumau), Brno (Bruenn) i Linz. Trains move quite slowly in this relation. The fastest option is to combine train and bus, see online timetable.
By car
Telč is a local road. It is situated on the national road No. 23 České Budějovice-Brno.
About five minutes walk from the city center there is a relatively large 1 parkingwhere you can leave your car; Tour buses also seem to stop here. The car park uses a typical automated system found elsewhere in Europe that accepts coins and issues a coupon left on the vehicle's dashboard. Signs on the roads leading to Telč direct travelers directly to the parking lot.
By bus
WITH Prague there is at least one direct bus a day. All other options (especially) by train mean several transfers. A rather cheap option is to travel from Prague to Iglawa (150 Kč by bus Student Agencywhich provide free electric sockets, free tea and free Wi-Fi on board), and then from Igawa to Telč (42 Kč, very frequent local buses).
Communication
Telc is small. You can see it all on foot. Most of the interesting parts of Telč are found in the irregularly shaped square in the city center. There are some scenic views of the old moat outside the center.
Worth seeing
In 1992, the historic city center was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
