What to See and Do in Tábor
The Hussite Museum is one of the most visited
museums in the Czech Republic. You will find it inside the Town
Hall on Jan Žižka Square.

In the 15th century, a network of underground
passages and cellars was built under the Old Town. The areas were
used for storage of foodstuffs and beer, and as a shelter in times
of danger. A part of the 800-meter (0.5 mile) long labyrinth is
open to the public (groups of five or more) and can be entered
from the Hussite Museum.

The
round, medieval Kotnov Tower is the most significant remainder
of the Kotnov Castle from the 13th century. Be sure to
climb up to get a wonderful view of old and new Tábor and the
river Lužnice. The climb is "at your own risk" (roughly
70 steep wooden steps with sturdy handrails) but we can testify
that it can be done wearing slip-ons and carrying a small dog
in one arm.
