Ostrava is the third largest city in the Czech Republic. It was build mostly during the 20th century through mining and steel industry. Thanks to that, you can find a lot of relics of this industry within the city. One street is actually going through the steel works!

From the city center, take a tram #1, #3, #10, #12, #17, #18 or #19. Get out at the last stop Dubina Interspar and continue in the original tram direction along the Plzeňská street. In about 2 km, you'll reach the intersection with Mitrovická street. Cross this street. The place between the intersection and the bus station is a good place to catch a car towards Olomouc or Brno.

Second option From the city center take a tram #2 and get off at the stop "Obchodní centrum" - it is a huge shopping center called Avion. Cross the subway, go through the shopping center and you´ll get to the parking. You should see McDonald´s on the left. Next to it there is a roundabout - turn right. The street is going down, to the big street called "Rudná". Continue on that street for about 5 minutes, you´ll cross the bridge and right there is a stopping lane. Many cars head for Prague or Brno.
