Tips for visitors
The best time to visit is in the morning or late afternoon when the sun hits the facade of this three-story house at the most advantageous angle. Transportation to Hradec Kralove is possible by car and public connections; verify the specific possibilities in the maps.
We recommend to take comfortable shoes for a walk in the city and a quality camera. Since it is a residential building, the tour takes place only from the outside, so focus on the details of the architecture of the city house.
For the best pictures we recommend you find a place opposite the building where you can see the entire height of the house. The ideal light to capture the details of the cultural monument is during the golden hour before sunset.
Families with children can use a visit to tell about the history of city houses in the city centre. There are no other monuments listed in the area, so we recommend a walk through the historical core of the city.

Seasonal recommendations
In spring, the surroundings of the house awaken to green and fresh air accompanied by the first flowering trees. The light is fine, which is ideal for observing the facade details. We recommend light but laminated clothing and a visit in the morning when the air is the cleanest.
In the summer months it dominates the radiant sun and intense lighting, which highlights the colors of the building. Around there are trees in full leaves, creating a natural shadow. The best is to come early in the morning or at dusk to avoid heat, and not forget the comfortable shoes and hat.
Autumn brings golden shades of leaves and melancholy atmosphere to the quarter. The light is gold and less sharp, which creates a pleasant mood for a short walk around the house. It is suitable for waterproof coats and visit in the afternoon when the colors of nature are the most distinctive.
Zimą works in contrast with grey sky or white snow, which gives it a stricter look. The atmosphere is calm and quiet, especially in advent time. It is necessary to wear warm winter clothes, gloves and fixed footwear with anti-slip soles.
