Žatec, Royal city in Louny District, Czech Republic.
Situated along the Ohře River at 233 meters elevation, Žatec extends across 42 square kilometers of agricultural land in northern Bohemia.
The Latin chronicle of Thietmar of Merseburg first mentioned Žatec in 1004, and King Ottokar II granted royal town privileges in 1265.
The September harvest festival Dočesná brings together farmers, brewers, and visitors to commemorate the completion of hop picking season.
The town center contains multiple accommodation options, restaurants, and transport connections, with Prague located 68 kilometers to the southeast.
Žatec cultivates Saaz noble hops since the 13th century, leading to its inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2023.
