Litomy\u0161l is located in East Bohemia within traveling distance of Prague, Brno, and Ostrava. It\u2019s accessible by all means of transportation, and it\u2019s up to you which one you use.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Naturally, the most common way to travel is by car; unfortunately, however, there are still no highways leading to Litomy\u0161l, but it is really getting much closer now. Highway D11 will get you from Prague to Vysok\u00e9 M\u00fdto, only 20 kilometres form Litomy\u0161l. There are Class 1 roads with heavy traffic from Brno and Mohelnice, making it very difficult to estimate trip time, so be sure you add a large time margin before the start of your festival performance.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Litomy\u0161l is a stop on many long-distance routes crisscrossing the country, so it\u2019s relatively convenient to use bus services.<\/p>\n

The bus station is 1 km from the castle grounds, but right next to the castle, there is a bus stop called U ZAMKU, which is a used by buses from \u010cesk\u00e1 T\u0159ebov\u00e1 and local buses in the Litomy\u0161l public transportation systems (bus timetable<\/a>).<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Very often summertime means road repairs, detours, and the resulting traffic. A trip by train can be faster and more comfortable than by car. What’s more, cheaper!<\/p>\n

Even though it\u2019s possible to get to Litomy\u0161l directly by train, the city\u2019s station only serves as an end station for a regional route from Choce\u0148, which takes 45 minutes to cover 24 km. Moreover, even though Choce\u0148 is on a main route, not all \u201cfast trains\u201d (rychl\u00edk) stop here. Therefore, we recommend that your end station be \u010cesk\u00e1 T\u0159ebov\u00e1<\/strong>, which is an important railway hub and is only 13 km from Litomy\u0161l.<\/p>\n

There tends to be a bus connection to Litomy\u0161l from here; if the connection doesn\u2019t work for you, it\u2019s possible to use a taxi or book free transportation with the festival organizers in vehicles from our sponsor, \u0160koda.<\/a><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The streets in Litomy\u0161l are equipped with an information system that will lead you reliably to the performance venues. Most of these occur inside the castle grounds, where the advisory center is also located. The Piarist Church of the Discovery of the Holy Cross (Baroque, two towers), is directly next to the castle, and the Monastery\/Festival Gardens are between this and the capitular Church of the Elevation of the Holy Cross (Gothic, one tower). You can get to Smetana House by starting at the statue of Bed\u0159ich Smetana on the main square and going across the river to the left. In 2024, chances are you are searching for the Festival Hall. Signs name it as Winter Stadium and it is located as a part of local sports complex, right next to the Summer Stadium and Swimming Pools.<\/p>\n

Litomy\u0161l is a small town, and it\u2019s possible to walk everywhere on foot. However, walking in high heels on historical cobblestone is impractical, so a taxi could come in handy.<\/p>\n

Even though Litomy\u0161l tends to be filled with cars during the day, parking spots tend to be empty during evening hours, when most of the \u201cbig\u201d performances take place. And there\u2019s no fee at this time! It\u2019s most advantageous to park on Smetanovo N\u00e1m\u011bst\u00ed Square; from here, the distance to all venues is 100 m or less.<\/p>\n

In addition to regular parking places, there is a free parking lot on the streets of Z\u00e1meck\u00e1 and Jir\u00e1skova, which has limited public traffic and exists for the duration of performances inside the castle grounds. Here, priority is given to parking spaces reserved for VIP card holders. Right next to the castle, there is a parking area set aside for people in wheelchairs.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

In order to create quiet zones, the streets directly next to the castle are closed to traffic during festival performances. Always ninety minutes before the start of a performance in the castle courtyard, the street of Z\u00e1meck\u00e1 is closed, starting at its intersection with the street of Lidick\u00e1. Jir\u00e1skova Ulice Street is also closed between Smetanovo N\u00e1m\u011bst\u00ed Square and Ulice M. Kud\u011bje Street. The closed streets are converted into parking for festival guests, and traffic resumes an hour after the performance has ended. Bus lines are allowed through as well as emergency vehicles; entry is not limited for residents. The detour route runs along the streets of Lidick\u00e1 and P. Bezru\u010de.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
