The royal city of Jihlava lies in the heart of the Vysočina region, on the border connecting Bohemia and Moravia. In history, it was famous for silver mining. Four unique churches commemorate the glorious past, namely the Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary, the Assumption of St. Cross, St. James the Greater and St. Ignatius of Loyola. The city is a cultural center, hosting the annual Gustav Mahler Music Festival and the International Documentary Film Festival. Lovers of an active holiday are encouraged to visit the zoo, the Vodni raj aquapark, the Robinson family entertainment center, hiking trails or guided sightseeing walks.
