Ústí nad Labem

The city extends along both banks of the Elbe River at its confluence with the Bílina River, surrounded by mountains at an elevation of 218 meters.

The settlement received its first written documentation in 1056, later obtaining royal town status in 1249 and developing into an industrial center during the 19th century.

The Gothic Revival Church of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary represents an architectural centerpiece of the city, featuring a notably tilted tower from World War II damage.

The central train station functions as a major railway junction connecting Prague with Berlin, while the D8 motorway provides direct access to Dresden.

The Mariánský Bridge, completed in 1998, spans 179 meters across the Elbe River and received recognition from Structural Engineering International for its design.
