Maps and Orientation of the City

Ostrava is home to just over 300,000 residents and contains approximately 20 different districts, which are the direct result of the city's expansion, swallowing up neighbouring towns and villages as its boundaries extended. The Old Town area of Ostrava is chock full of history and where you will encounter many historical buildings, particularly along the easterly Ostruzinická.

The main railway station is situated further east and across the Moriva River, near to the bus station. A map of Ostrava is always useful and maps can be found at bookshops along the Ostruzinická, and also at the main tourist information office, within the town hall. Maps are also available at the tourist outlet within Ostrava's train station, where you can also purchase the handy Olomouc Card.
