Sitting at the point where the Rožnovská Bečva and Vsetínská Bečva rivers merge to form the Bečva, Valašské Meziříčí occupies a strategic position in the landscape of Moravian Wallachia. About 27,500 people live in this town, which has served as a regional crossroads since the medieval period. Two châteaux anchor the town's historic core - the Žerotín château on the main square and the Kinský château a short walk to the east, the latter now functioning as an exhibition space and cultural centre.
Glassmaking has shaped the town's identity for generations. The tradition of Valašské sklo (Wallachian glass) dates to the early twentieth century and placed Valašské Meziříčí on the map of European decorative arts. While large-scale production declined after 1989, smaller studios and the glass school founded in 1945 have maintained the craft. The town's connection to glass is visible in public art installations and in the permanent collection at the Kinský château.

Beyond the town limits, the Bečva valley opens southward toward Přerov and the Haná lowlands, while the northern roads climb into the Beskydy Mountains within 20 kilometres. Valašské Meziříčí's railway station sits on the line connecting Ostrava to southern Moravia, making it a transfer point for travellers heading into the mountain resorts around Rožnov pod Radhoštěm or Velké Karlovice.
The annual Valašský špalíček folk festival, held each June, brings traditional music, dance, and crafts from the Wallachian region into the town centre for several days. The surrounding countryside - a mix of pastureland, forested ridges, and small villages - retains a character distinct from the flatter agricultural zones of central Moravia, and local gastronomy leans on smoked meats, sheep cheese (brynza), and plum brandy.
