Slavonice is a historic town of roughly 2300 inhabitants in 2022 in South Bohemia, near the border with Austria. Because of its well-preserved renaissance centre, it is called "smaller Telč". Slavonice is a charming town and definitely an off-the-beaten-path destination.

The whole place is rather small and you should have no major problems getting around on foot.
