Review:

Ostrava, located in the northeast of the Czech Republic in the heart of the Moravian-Silesian region, is the third largest city in the country. It also rests on the banks of the Ostravice River, providing awe-inspiring views of Beskydy Mountains. The city was first founded around 1267 and was known as a coal mining epicenter from the 18th century until the mid-90s. Today, visitors will enjoy exploring the city's industrial ambiance, featuring museums where the mines once stood and other cultural and historical highlights. These include the Mining Museum Landek Park, Silesian Ostrava Castle, and the New Town Hall Lookout Tower.
