Start at the Rathausturm , with its nine gothic spires, then wander past Viennese-style cafes to St Catherine’s Rotunda, the only remaining part of Znojmo’s 11th-century Přemyslid Castle. From May to September, you can view frescoes depicting the life of Christ. Meander past the Dyje River and into St Nicholas’ Church.
