Milovice Travel Guide
City Town in Central Bohemia, Czechia
Once a Cold War military town north of Prague, Milovice now draws cyclists and festival crowds across reclaimed steppe, with grassland reserves, open-air concerts and hulking barracks to explore.
Why Visit Milovice? #
Milovice has been reshaped from a former military zone into a surprising mix of rewilded nature and open-air events. Visitors encounter free-roaming herds such as Przewalski’s horses in the Milovice nature areas, while the old airfield hosts music festivals and aviation-themed gatherings on occasion. Trails and restored grasslands offer offbeat wildlife-watching close to Prague. The contrast of reclaimed landscape and contemporary cultural events is the town’s main draw.
