The palace is situated just off of the main square. It is an interesting example of the European Baroque palace and has been included on the UNESCO World Heritage List. It is only accessible via a guided tour, mostly in Czech though other languages can be arranged. The interior was used during the filming of the film Amadeus. Highlights are the assembly hall and the library. The gardens behind the palace are laid out in the English style and provide a nice place for a walk. The flower garden was built by Italian architects, Filiberto Lucchese and Giovanni Pietro Tencalla. It is an Italian garden with paths surrounded by high bushes and was built on the area of 10 hectares. The Central building is very impressive and worthy of a look.
An institution continuing the century-old museum tradition in the city and takes care of extensive collections in the fields of archaeology, history, ethnography, art history and natural sciences.
A multi-story building hosting a few curved mirrors and a mirror mazes (in sizes both for kinds and adults). The "exhibits" have seen better days, but it's still quite fun way to spend 15-45 minutes, esp. with kids.
Kroměříž has a train station a short way from the centre of town. Trains run indirectly to Olomouc (1hr) and Brno (1hr 15m- 2h 30m) mostly requiring changes at Hulín or Kojetín.
