- One of the many things that distinguishes Vitkovice is that it houses the entire steel manufacturing supply chain in one location.
- Coal mines, coke plants, and iron and steel mills are all located next to each other.
Landek Park
- People have been exploiting the mineral deposits in Landek Park since time immemorial, so it's only fitting that Ostrava should have the Czech Republic's top mining attraction.

- Then, in 1872, it was completely demolished. What is the reason for this? Mining!

- It has been faithfully restored and is perfectly stable today, with exhibits about the history of Ostrava and the torture methods used in the castle's dungeon.
Miniuni Miniature Park
- For families with younger children, this is a fun diversion. Around 30 models of famous landmarks from around the world are displayed in a landscaped 1.5-hectare park.
- The Brandenburg Gate, the Eiffel Tower, and the Houses of Parliament in London have all been meticulously recreated to a scale of 1:25.
- The Ancient World's Wonders have arrived in this corner of the Czech Republic thanks to a recent update.
- The miniature railways and steamships that ply the park's waterways will enthrall children.
