Hatmaking put Nový Jičín on the map. The Tonak factory has produced hats here since 1799, and the city still holds the informal title of hat capital of Europe. That manufacturing heritage sits alongside a remarkably well-preserved Renaissance main square, lined with arcaded townhouses that date from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Around 26,500 people live in the city, which belongs to the Moravian-Silesian Region in the northeast of the Czech Republic.
Štramberk, a few kilometres south, draws visitors with its medieval tower (Trúba) and half-timbered houses stacked on a steep hillside. Further east, Hukvaldy Castle stands in ruins above a forested game reserve - the composer Leoš Janáček was born in the village below and returned throughout his life. These short distances make Nový Jičín a reasonable base for exploring the area between Ostrava and the Beskydy Mountains.
