Zlín is one of the most interesting and distinctive cities in the Czech Republic. Its unmistakable red-brick architecture, sophisticated urban design, regular grid of Baťa-style neighbourhoods and abundance of greenery unlike anything else in this country. Within a small area you will find a host of architectural gems – from the iconic Baťa skyscraper and the glass Tomáš Baťa Memorial to the directors’ villas, and the extensive factory complex and the neighbourhoods of characteristic Baťa houses. You can join guided walks that not only introduce the architecture itself, but also the stories of the people behind Zlín’s unique appearance. There are museums and galleries, beautiful parks and many places well worth visiting.
