Zlín Region

Zlín Region is an area in southeastern Moravia that includes rolling landscapes, forests, and farmland. The territory extends from the Morava valley to the White Carpathians, where vineyards and small villages shape the scenery.

The current administrative structure was established in 2000, when several districts were merged into a new region. Before that, the areas belonged to larger Moravian administrative units that were reorganized after 1989.

The name comes from the regional capital, known for its brick buildings and tree-lined avenues. In Kroměříž, visitors can walk through baroque gardens that are still maintained according to historic plans.

The area is best explored by car, as many towns are connected by smaller country roads. Larger cities offer rail connections, while remote valleys are often accessible only with your own vehicle.

In the capital, you will find buildings with brick elevator shafts and glass doors that lead directly from factory floors to multiple stories. These constructions were designed in the 1930s to move workers quickly between production areas.
