Where to stay in Slezská Ostrava
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Beds belong to Ostrava. Slezská Ostrava fills its 11.98 square kilometres with a castle, a miniature park and a smithy museum rather than with hotels, so a visitor books in the city and comes out for the day. Silesian Ostrava Castle and Miniature park Miniuni sit within the same visit.
Naučná stezka Slezská Ostrava links the walking. Keltička's Smithy Museum and Citerárium are the small indoor stops on that route.

About Slezská Ostrava
What are the main landmarks in Slezská Ostrava?
A castle leads. Silesian Ostrava Castle, the Church of Saint Joseph and Keltička's Smithy Museum are the built anchors, and Miniature park Miniuni sets scale models beside them while Citerárium and Naučná stezka Slezská Ostrava make up the rest of the visiting. Two churches follow, one Hussite and one recorded as provisional.
Vodárna na Hladnově holds the waterworks name. Memorials do the rest, among them Pomník osvobození Rudou armádou, Pomník Karla Kryla v Ostravě, Pomník Bedřicha Smetany v Ostravě and Památník zbořené hlavní synagogy v Ostravě.
What is the history of Slezská Ostrava?
Coal set the terms here, and the memorial list reads as a casualty record: gas at the Ema pit in 1884, gas at Trojice in 1891, fire at Hermenegild in 1896 and fire at Salm in 1905. One monument honours the finder of coal. A strike at Dole Trojice has its own památník, and Pomník starosty Jana Prokeše ve Slezské Ostravě keeps a mayor's name in the same register.
Monument of Miloš Sýkora in Slezská Ostrava and Pomník osvobození Rudou armádou belong to the war years.
Where is Slezská Ostrava?
Slezská Ostrava spreads over 11.98 square kilometres of Ostrava, and Vodárna na Hladnově marks the Hladnov end of it.
