About Starý Bohumín
Where to stay in Starý Bohumín
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Starý Bohumín is the historic core of Bohumín rather than a hotel quarter, and travellers almost always book in the wider town and come out here for the old square. Few beds sit in the old core itself. Náměstí Svobody anchors the walk, with the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary and the City Museum Bohumín standing a short distance apart.
