The Historic Charm of the Green Gate

Getting There

• Walking

  If you're starting from the center of Hradec Králové, head towards the Hradec Králové Cathedral of the Holy Spirit. From there, walk down the Hradec Králové main square (Velké náměstí) until you reach the traffic lights at the intersection with the street called Špitálská. Cross the street and continue straight onto the pedestrian street called Gočárova třída. Walk for about 15 minutes until you reach the bus station (Hlavní nádraží). At the bus station, catch a bus to Pardubice. Buses run frequently and take about 20 minutes to get to Pardubice. Once you arrive at Pardubice, exit the bus station and head east towards Zelenobranská Street. Follow Zelenobranská Street for about 5 minutes until you see the Green Gate (Zelená brána) on your right.

• Public Transport (Bus)

  From the center of Hradec Králové, walk to the nearest bus stop (you can ask locals or check maps for the closest one). Take any bus heading towards Pardubice. The journey will take approximately 20 minutes. Once you arrive at Pardubice, get off at the main bus station. From there, walk east along Zelenobranská Street for about 5 minutes. The Green Gate will be on your right side, a prominent historical landmark that is hard to miss.
