A one-minute look at the plan: every stop, day by day, with the map.
When to go to Litomerice
May to September has the warmest weather for the old town and the Elbe riverside, and September brings the Zahrada Čech garden fair to the town's exhibition grounds. Winter is cold and quiet, with a Christmas market on Peace Square in December. Some sights open only in the main season, so spring and autumn visits need a check of opening days.

Tips for Litomerice
- The old town is small and every stop is a short walk from Peace Square, so no transport is needed between sights.
- The Chalice House on Peace Square, the town hall with a chalice on its roof, also holds the tourist information centre.
- Several museums, including the Regional Museum and the North Bohemian Gallery, are closed on Mondays; check opening days before planning a visit.
- The Terezín Memorial, the former ghetto and Small Fortress, is about 3 km south and easy to add as a half-day by bus or car.
- Litoměřice lies in a wine-growing area on the Elbe; the restored castle has a wine centre for tasting local wines.
