Economy
Ostrava’s economy was historically based on coal mining and related branches of heavy industry – iron,
steel, coke, chemicals, mechanical engineering, power generation and construction. The last coal was mined
in Ostrava in 1994, but other industries – especially metallurgy and mechanical engineering – remain a
strong and vital part of the local economy. In recent years the Ostrava region has become a major centre of
the car industry and other transport-related manufacturing. These sectors are still undergoing a process of
transformation and restructuring, while the city’s economy has expanded to include new branches of
manufacturing and services as well as new technologies.
Ostrava’s economy has boomed in recent years, with a major influx of investment in industrial zones,
property development, hotels and other sectors. Many major international companies have set up branches in
the city, with some taking advantage of state incentives to invest in Ostrava and the surrounding area
(Hyundai, Multi Development, CTP Invest, PEGATRON Czech, SungWoo Hitech, ArcelorMittal, and Tieto
Czech). The aviation company Job Air has built the largest aircraft service and repair centre in Central
Europe at the nearby Mošnov airport. Ostrava is also home to important clusters in the IT industry,
mechanical engineering, the automotive industry and other sectors.
The state of the Czech economy in 2012 worsened year-on-year. The economy did not grow, not even
slightly as in 2011, it declined. This situation has impacted employment and the loss of staff in monitored
companies was far more pronounced than in previous years. There are less and less companies that would
recorded an improvement in the situation during the year, the growth of production and exports. Even the
few successful companies are very cautious in terms of staffing. It is also still true that the historical sectoral
structure still brings many problems. The current trend among companies is not to lay off at least the core
employees, but for reasons of unclear future development in this country and Europe, production did not
dramatically increase and new jobs were not created.
Some companies recorded improvements during 2011, seeing their production and export levels grow.
Concerning their staffing needs, however, even these companies are still very cautious. While trying not to
make considerable redundancies, their production has not increased dramatically due to uncertain further
development in the Czech Republic and Europe, thus not creating new jobs. As a result of having to remain
at low levels of production for a long period of time, companies in a specific industries often affect other
sectors and sub-contractors.

Labour force
Ostrava is the capital city of the Moravian-Silesian Region. It is the Czech Republic’s third largest city in
terms of population and the second largest in the country in terms of area. Since 1990 Ostrava’s economy
has undergone a wide-ranging process of restructuring which has brought the loss of thousands of jobs but
has also changed the city’s face dramatically. In 2004 the rate of unemployment began to fall, even though
the effects of the economic transformation were still being felt. Since 2008, the global financial and
economic crisis has left its mark on Ostrava, pushing unemployment up again; this trend continued in 2012.

Foreigners and the labour market in the Czech Republic
There are essentially two groups of foreign workers in the Czech Republic. The first consists of citizens
from European Union member states and countries of the European Economic Area (EEA – Norway,
Liechtenstein, and Iceland), Switzerland, and their families. For this group there are no restrictions on
working in the Czech Republic; Czech employment law does not consider them to be ‘foreign nationals’.
Employers must inform job centres of their employment, but no work permits are required.
The second group consists of foreign nationals from other countries (‘third countries’), who require a
work permit and a resident permit (visa) to work legally in the Czech Republic. Whether a work permit is
issued depends on the situation on the labour market; foreigners may obtain a permit if the vacancy
cannot be filled otherwise due to a lack of candidates with the necessary qualifications or a temporary
shortage of labour.
When ruling on work permits, each application is carefully considered in order to ascertain whether the
vacancy could be filled by a Czech national. Most applications are for positions requiring few or no
qualifications. The main reasons for approving applications are the lack of qualified Czech candidates for
the position and/or the unsuitability of Czech candidates due to a lack of professional experience and
language skills.

Due to the introduction of a new information system, the 2012 data (Ostrava, MS region) are calculated manually, so
they are only approximate. CR cummulative data are not available.
6.6.2 Foreign citizens on the labour market in Ostrava
At the end of 2012 the Ostrava Job Centre’s register of foreign employees listed 5034 citizens of EU/EEA
member states and Switzerland, of which 3753 were Slovak citizens. During 2012 there was a rise in the
number of EU/EEA/Swiss citizens employed in Ostrava; the total number rose by 636 (including +463
Slovak and +159 Polish citizens). ). Je však třeba znovu zdůraznit, že z důvodu zavedení nového
informačního systému jsou údaje za rok 2012 dopočítávány ručně, proto je jejich vypovídací schopnost
pouze orientační.

Information for investors
8.1 Investment incentives
8.1.1 Operational Programme Enterprise and Innovation
The Operational Programme Enterprise and Innovation is a successor to the Operational Programme
Industry and Enterprise, which was introduced after the Czech Republic’s European Union access for a
shortened programming period 2004-2006. The new Operational Programme was devised by the Czech
Ministry of Industry and Trade for the period 2007-2013 in accordance with the country’s key strategic
planning documents.
The global goal of the Operational Programme Enterprise and Innovation is to boost the competitiveness
of Czech industry and services and to support the development of enterprise across the country. This
global goal is supported by individual specific goals, which are to be achieved via specially created
support programmes in each individual area. Information on the priority axes and current details of
investment incentives are available at the website www.czechinvest.org or via e-mail:
[email protected].
8.1.2 Operational Programme Human Resources and Employment
Operational Programme Human Resources and Employment (OP HRE) defines the priorities for
promoting human resource development and employment within the Objective of Convergence of the
European Social Fund in the period 2007-2013.
The overall objective of the OP HRE is to increase the employment and employability of people in the
CR to the average of the top 15 EU countries. The Operational Programme therefore aims to support
the development of human resources – whether through subsidies for employee training, subsidies to
implement standards for their development, or through promoting the cooperation of tertiary educational
institutions (colleges and universities) with businesses.

Transport
Ostrava is a major road and railway hub of the Moravian-Silesian Region, and the Ostrava Leoš Janáček
International Airport is only 25 kilometres from the city centre. Ostrava also has the potential to become an
important centre for river transport. The city is situated on route VI of the TEN European Multimodal
Corridor leading north-south across the Czech Republic from Poland through Moravia to the Austrian
border.
9.1
City public transport
For over 10 years, public transport in Ostrava and the surrounding area has been provided via the Integrated
Transport System (ODIS) of the Moravian-Silesian Region. This system is based on:
 unified fares
 unified conditions of carriage
 unified and coordinated scheduling of services
 coordination of services provided by various operators covering the entire Moravian-Silesian Region
The ODIS Integrated Transport System incorporates 11 operators and serves most of the districts of Ostrava,
Opava, Bruntál and Krnov, including 239 cities, towns and municipalities in these areas. The system consists
of 429 routes (17 tram routes, 20 trolleybus routes, 369 bus routes and 23 rail routes). The total length of all
routes in the system is 8 565 km.
The Ostrava Public Transport Corporation (Dopravní podnik Ostrava, a.s.) runs a network of routes with a
total length of 454.2 km (1 067.5 km if counting the total length of all services where more than one service
may use the same route). Within the city of Ostrava, 85 services are run as part of the ODIS Integrated
Transport System. Out of a total 647 vehicles, 264 are low-floor models. The Corporation operates 144 ticket
machines and 11 ticket sales points (with tickets also available at a further 500 shops, kiosks etc. throughout
the city).
9.2
Road transport
Ostrava is part of a dense, high-quality network of major roads linking the city with other parts of the
conurbation and neighbouring regions. Many of these roads are motorways or dual carriageways. The road
network within the city itself has a total length of over 1 000 kilometres.
9.2.1 Motorways
The D47/D1 motorway (Via Moravica), completed in 2009, running from Brno through Ostrava has since
2012 been linked via the Veřňovice – Gorzyczki border crossing with the Polish A1 motorway leading from
Gliwice to Gdańsk (and ultimately to Helsinki).
The D1 motorway brings a range of benefits on several levels:
 it contributes to better transport links between northern and southern Europe
 it helps integrate Ostrava and the surrounding area with other regions of the Czech Republic
 it improves transport infrastructure within the region itself

Ostrava is a major railway hub with a dense network of long-distance and local lines, both for passenger
transport and rail freight. In the case of suburban public transport, a number of regular connections are
available for passengers in Ostrava. The city has five railway stations: Ostrava-hlavní nádraží (Main Station),
Ostrava-Svinov, Ostrava-Vítkovice, Ostrava-střed (Central Station), and Ostrava-Kunčice. There are also
five smaller railway stops without full station facilities. In 2007 a new stop (Ostrava-Stodolní) was opened
on line no. 323, serving the city centre.

In 2005 the SuperCity Pendolino rail link from Ostrava to Prague was launched, with up to 10 services each
way per day offering high standards of comfort and excellent journey times. Ostrava – Prague currently takes
3 hours and 5 minutes; this will be further reduced in the future due to technical and operational
improvements. The Pendolino trains are fully coordinated with services provided by Czech Airlines.
In addition to Czech Railways, RegioJet, a private competitor operates train connections on the main route
between Prague and Ostrava (terminating in Žilina). Yet another private competitor, Leo Express, will start
its operations on this route by late 2012.

Air transport
Ostrava Leoš Janáček International Airport is only 25 kilometres from the city centre. It is the largest
regional airport in the Czech Republic, with a capacity of over 1 million passengers per year and a runway
measuring 3 500 m x 63 m. It caters for domestic (operating a regular service to Prague) and international
flights, both scheduled and chartered services. As from this summer, SmartWings, the only Czech low-cost
airline operated under Travel Service, opened 13 new regular routes from Ostrava to Paris and 12 favourite
holiday resorts in the Mediterranean. The route from Ostrava to Tel Aviv, operated by HOLIDAYS Czech
Airlines, has become available again as of April.
The airport is also fully equipped to handle air freight, including warehousing facilities. The passenger
terminal includes a new high-capacity departure hall opened in 2006. Adjacent to the airport is an enterprise
and commercial zone, a duty free zone, and the Ostrava-Mošnov Strategic Industrial Zone. A rail link will
soon be completed connecting the airport and the neighbouring industrial zone to railway corridor II
(at Studénka), providing a rapid rail connection with Ostrava.

Cycling
In 2011 it was decided that the City of Ostrava will join the “Uherskohradišťská charta” (The Charter of
Uherské Hradiště), which aims to improve conditions for cyclists in cities. In accordance with the principles
of the Charter, a city cycling coordinator was appointed. At the same time, and in line with the concept of
cycling development adopted in 2010, the city began to prepare investment plans and project documents for
the draft of the first phase of construction, i.e. 5 major urban cycle corridors. In the same year, a building
permit for one of these corridors was submitted – a bike trail along the Oder. Simultaneously, building
permits were issued and tenders prepared for another major trail along the Ostravice. In 2011, only 2 major
bike trails were completed –trail M via Poruba - Třebovice - Svinov and a section of the bike trail C in
Hrabová. Both received subsidies from the regional council. Regarding smaller-scale construction, a section
of Polská street in Poruba was marked as a cycle lane, an overpass connected to a bike trail was added to
Polanecká street in Svinov, and the trail along Výstavní street was connected to route F in Mariánské Hory.
2011 saw the provision of three major light controlled intersections with stop-lines made for cyclists and two
previously uncontrolled intersections sprayed with pictogram corridors allowing cyclists to go right directly
from the turning lane. Proposals were prepared for establishing bike lanes on existing roads within the city.
Garáže Ostrava, a.s. set up bike racks for free bike parking at 4 locations in the city centre.

11.10 Clusters
The key industrial sectors in Ostrava and the Moravian-Silesian Region are organized within clusters,
providing the Region with a clear profile and simplifying the relationship between potential investors and
suppliers. In terms of clusters, the Moravian-Silesian Region is a leader in the Czech Republic.
The development of clusters has been significantly enhanced by the Ostrava Science and Technology Park,
which was the Czech partner in the EU-funded ACENET project (2002 – 2003). The goal of the project was
to share information and experience of creating and managing clusters among project partners and to support
the creation of a European network of cluster initiatives. Another initiative connected with clusters is
ClusterNet (launched by Ostrava’s Regional Development Agency – RDA), which involves the coordination
of networked cooperation among all parties involved in cluster initiatives (facilitators, cluster managers,
members of executive councils, representatives of universities, development institutions etc.) on all levels –
regional, national and international. The RDA was also closely involved in the CLOE and NICE projects,
which focused on cluster management and international networking among companies in clusters.

12 Quality of life
12.1 The environment
The city of Ostrava lies at the heart of a major industrial conurbation which since 1990 has undergone a
major process of restructuring including a reduction of heavy industry. This has brought marked
improvements in the local environment. In the early 1990s there was a dramatic fall in air pollution and
industrial emissions, followed by a more gradual fall. However, since 2001 air pollution levels have once
again begun to rise, especially levels of solid pollutants (airborne dust). Ostrava is a typical densely
populated urban centre with a high concentration of road traffic and extensive heavy industry. Due to the
large number of emissions sources concentrated within a relatively small area, the city is officially classified
as an area with poorer than average air quality.
The number of days with poor air quality is influenced not only by the emissions themselves, but also by
wind direction, the location of emissions sources, and other geographical or meteorological conditions within
the city. The main sources of emissions both in some of the city districts and the city as a whole are
industrial plants (especially steelworks, of which Ostrava has the highest concentration in the country), road
traffic, local heat sources, areas of unmaintained waste ground (contributing to airborne dust), former coalmining sites, and wind-borne pollution from the Polish side of the border.
Despite these problems, a large proportion of Ostrava’s area is taken up by parks, greenery and natural
landscape features. The city’s parks are well-maintained and are constantly being improved and expanded.
The most valuable of them have been recorded as major landmarks, whose number reaches 130. As part of
an on-going programme to renovate Ostrava’s high-rise housing estates, many public areas are undergoing
reconstruction work – including public greenery.
Within the boundaries of the city there are a range of valuable sites of natural interest, several of which have
been listed as protected zones, sites of European importance and are designated as bird sanctuaries. 32 of the
most important trees in the city have been declared as landmarks.
In addition to parks and other public green spaces, city forests are also available to the inhabitants of Ostrava
for recreation. The Korýtko, Bělský les, Poruba-Březí, Poruba-Osošník, Hulváky, Landek, Svinov,
Heřmanice, Plesná Hůra and Pustkovec forest complexes are among the special-purpose forests with
increased recreational functions. Annual maintenance of small structures (gazebos, outdoor furniture,
benches, sidewalks, bridges) and forest vegetation are provided in these complexes. Due to the high visitor
traffic in these forest complexes, especially in the urban parts of the city, the vegetation on the frequented
routes is regularly maintained and made accessible to the public. Exposed surfaces are gradually provided
with plantings of ornamental trees, attractive for their colour, as well as with flowers and other plants.
Ostrava’s forested land makes up around 11.5 % of the city’s area. The proportion of forests within the city
rises every year, mainly due to brownfield restoration and remediation projects. The City of Ostrava is the
second largest owner of forested land within the city boundaries. The maintenance and on-going
improvement of the city’s forests is a major priority, since many of these woodlands are popular recreational
areas.

The main weakness of the city in this regard is the shortage of psychiatric beds – in view of the growth of
problems related to societal trends (increase in mental disorders, ageing population etc.). There is also a
shortage of specialists in psychiatry and geriatric medicine.

12.2.2 Social services
Social services are provided to individual citizens or their families in order to help them deal with difficult
social situations which they are unable to overcome on their own. The services are provided either on-site at
clients’ homes (e.g. personal assistance services and care services), at various types of social services day
centres and drop-in centres, or at residential social services institutions. These facilities are constituted by the
Statutory City of Ostrava, the Municipal Districts, non-governmental non-profit organizations (NGOs) and
individuals.
The main focus in Ostrava is on non-residential services, which are provided by 60.1 % of facilities. On-site
services are provided by 40.4 % of facilities, residential services by 26.2 %. Most providers offer
combinations of these services. The representation of various forms of social services is well-balanced.
There are 66 registered social services providers in Ostrava, offering a total of 183 services used by almost
28,000 citizens. These providers employ almost 3 100 people, ranking them among the most important
employers in the city.

The number in brackets indicates the number of individual social services provided in Ostrava.
The most widespread type of social services facility in Ostrava are social counselling centres (19.7 %),
followed by social activation services for families with children (8.2 %), senior citizens’ homes (7.1 %),
refuges (6.0 %), and nursing services (5.5 %). Less common are intervention centres, contact centres, guide
and reader services, follow-up care services, therapeutic communities and emergency care (0.6 % each).
In terms of target group, the largest proportion of social services in Ostrava is provided to senior citizens
(33 %), followed by disabled and/or mentally handicapped citizens (17 %) and families/children (14 %). An
important role is played by activities focusing on crime and drug abuse prevention (38.3 %), senior citizens
(35 %) and people suffering from lifestyle-related diseases (9 %).
60/83
Fact Sheets 2013
Day centres, social counselling centres, crisis help centres, personal assistance, low-threshold centres, social
activation services, refuges and night shelters are more often run by civic associations and church
organizations. Nursing services and homes are run by municipal districts.
The clients of these services are senior citizens, citizens with mental illnesses and psychosocial problems,
citizens with combined physical and mental handicaps, visually impaired citizens, the deaf and hard of
hearing, those with societal diseases, children and families, and citizens at risk of social exclusion, and the
Roma community.
On the basis of an assessment of demographic and age structure trends, it is evident that the main problem
facing the city authorities in the future will be ageing. As has been mentioned, Ostrava’s population is ageing
considerably. Predictions for the numbers of people over 60 years of age are as follows: in 2005 there were
60 600 citizens in this age bracket; the number rose to 70 000 by 2010. By 2015 this category is set to swell
to 75 800; and by 2020 to 78,700. In view of these forecasts, it is clear that there will be increasing demands
– both financial and organizational – on facilities providing services to senior citizens.
Residential social services
The City of Ostrava established 9 contributory organizations providing social services and 1 medical facility
providing residential social services in the Municipal Hospital Ostrava, a contributory organization. City
districts have established nursing homes including emergency beds and contributory organizations provide
social services in their territory. The structure of social and health facilities operated by contributory
organizations is as follows:
- Centre for people with disabilities:
1 (consists of 6 facilities), capacity of 367 places
- Homes for the elderly:
7, capacity of 1 297 places
- Special regime homes:
6, capacity of 330 places
- Nursing homes:
41, number of housing units – 1 121
- Relief care in nursing homes (emergency beds): 3, capacity of 38 places
- Social services house at the Municipal Hospital Ostrava, contributory organization: 1, capacity of
66 places
The capacity of residential services for the residents of the City of Ostrava is also provided by district
municipalities, with 113 places available for the homeless; as well as nongovernmental non-profit
organizations with the capacity of 331 places in homes for the elderly and special regime homes, and
399 places in shelters and dormitories for homeless people.
On-site social services
The aim of on-site services is to provide services to clients in their own social environment. This enables
clients to integrate as fully as possible into the normal life of society; in cases where the clients’ condition
makes this impossible, on-site services enable clients to live with dignity.
An example of this type is nursing services provided to citizens in their own homes, including apartments in
nursing homes or other facilities. In 2011, nursing care services were provided to 2 346 people.
The municipal district authorities of the Statutory City of Ostrava provide nursing care services at eight
locations. For citizens on old age pensions or invalidity benefits and requiring nursing care services, the
municipal districts offer nursing care homes. The allocation of apartments in these homes is the
responsibility of the municipal district authorities; places are allocated on the basis of citizens’ applications,
depending on the degree to which the potential client’s independence is restricted and the urgency of his/her
social situation. There are currently 1 121 apartments in nursing homes in the city of Ostrava.
61/83
Fact Sheets 2013
Non-government non-profit organizations (NGOs) and the future development of social services
Non-governmental non-profit organizations (NGOs) play an important role in providing social services
within the City. Over 70 NGOs are active on the city’s territory. In terms of residential services for senior
citizens, NGOs play a supplementary role to core services provided by contributory organizations. However,
NGOs are the sole providers of many other services – especially home-based services and day services.
NGO activities in social services are supported from the Statutory City of Ostrava’s budget. In 2009 NGOs
received a total of CZK 62.2 million; in 2010, CZK 60.9 million; in 2011, CZK 65 million.
Social services within Ostrava are developed and coordinated in accordance with the current key strategic
document entitled the Third Community Plan for the period 2011 – 2014.
The Catalogue of Social Services and Related Activities is a user-friendly guide to social services in Ostrava.
It is regularly updated and the electronic version is available at www.ostrava.cz and www.kpostrava.cz.
12.3 Housing and non-residential premises
The Statutory City of Ostrava has delegated the management of its housing stock to the individual Municipal
Districts. As of 31 December 2012 the Municipal Districts owned 13 982 apartments in 1 114 blocks. The
privatization process of municipal flats launched in 1991 (when the city owned almost 46 000 flats), also
continued to some degree in 2012. However, the number of flats sold was not as high as in the late 90s and
the number of municipal flats decreased by 1 108.
The largest owner of housing stock is the Municipal District Ostrava-Jih, with a total of 5 590 apartments. As
of 31 December 2012, other Municipal Districts owned the following numbers of apartments: Mariánské
Hory a Hulváky 2 204, Poruba 1 229, Moravská Ostrava a Přívoz 1 622, Slezská Ostrava 1 371, Vítkovice
741. The City Hall owns a total of 311 flats located in different Municipal Districts. The other Municipal
Districts own fewer than 300 apartments.

There is a continuing shortage of rented public flats, particularly special purpose flats (i.e. for the elderly,
wheelchair-accessible flats, flats with social programmes and reduced rents). The situation is especially
critical in the field of "social housing" due to the increasing group of people affected by the economic
recession and especially by the deregulation which has been in force as of 1.1.2011.

Social housing – There is no universal legal definition of this term. Ostrava maintains certain apartments
and apartment blocks which are rented out to citizens on low incomes. These are mainly small apartments
and reduced-quality apartments located away from the central parts of municipal districts.
Various types of social housing are provided by NGOs with financial support from the City of Ostrava.
These are not standard apartments; they are facilities providing accommodation specially targeted at citizens
who are in serious difficulties due to age, poor health, social situation or personal crisis. Social housing and
rehabilitation programs are provided by non-profit organizations mostly with the support of the city.
These facilities include:
Nursing homes and senior citizens’ homes
The Halfway House, shelters, homes for mothers and children
Community centres
The ‘Village of Coexistence’
Since 2012, an integrated programme Social Inclusion Ostrava has been implemented to address housing
issues in excluded localities of individual municipal districts and for the socially underprivileged.
House prices
The prices of houses and apartments depend on a wide variety of factors. In comparison with other locations
in the Moravian-Silesian Region and the Czech Republic as a whole, house prices in Ostrava are relatively
low. The recent rise in house prices has now come to an end, and prices (especially of apartments on housing
estates) are falling.

At costs in excess of CZK 2.3 billion, a total of 2 130 flats were constructed in Ostrava in the period 19952012 with financial support from the state budget and the EU fund. In 2012, the city of Ostrava invested
CZK 65 million in the construction of new residential houses and renovated housing units, creating 45
reconstructed flats. Simultaneously, the sale of flats and apartment houses continued, which led to a further
decrease in public housing.

City of Ostrava – current housing situation
In recent years the City (via several of its municipal districts) has focused on the reconstruction of its
housing stock and the regeneration of high-rise housing estates. The City supports private builders and
developers by offering available land for sale. Large-scale investments (via the individual Municipal
Districts) concern mainly those buildings which are likely to remain part of the City’s housing stock.
Work to regenerate public spaces on housing estates is carried out by the municipal districts as part of the
national subsidy programme for housing estates regeneration (Government directive no. 494/2000); in order
to receive this subsidy, a project must benefit an area with over 150 apartments (condition for granting the
subsidy). In recent years, regeneration work has been carried out on Čechury Street in Poruba and on
Varenská Street in Moravská Ostrava a Přívoz. Works are currently under way to regenerate the Šalamouna
estate in the central municipal district (Moravská Ostrava a Přívoz) as well as the Fifejdy I estate (municipal
district Mariánské Hory a Hulváky), and a project is currently under way for the Muglinov estate (municipal
district Slezská Ostrava).
In the period 2000 – 2012, subsidies totalling CZK 58 792 000 were provided from the national budget for
regeneration projects on high-rise housing estates.

12.4 Culture
Ostrava is home to a wide range of important and prestigious cultural institutions – many of which are
renowned nationally and internationally.
There are 4 permanent theatres. The Moravian-Silesian National Theatre has permanent opera, drama, ballet
and operetta/musical companies and performs at two venues – the Antonín Dvořák Theatre and the Jiří
Myron Theatre. The other two theatres are Komorní scéna Aréna and Petr Bezruč Theatre. Ostrava’s Puppet
Theatre is based in one of the most striking modern theatre buildings in Central Europe, wittily decorated
with three-metre-high statues of puppets made of wood and metal, which hosts the international puppetry
festival Spectaculo Interesse every odd year, and the festival Theatre journey without barriers every even
year. In 2010 an extension was built at the Puppet Theatre, comprising an alternative stage, an amphitheatre,
a puppet gallery and a theatrical astronomical clock. It offers performances by the internationally recognized
Janáček Philharmonic Orchestra Ostrava. Every year it hosts the international festival of classical music,
Janáček May. The Ostrava Days of New Music festival is held every two years.
The city has several major cultural centres as well as smaller ones in the municipal district. Ostrava is also
home to numerous cultural associations and widely acclaimed folklore groups.
In addition to the largest Czech mining museum and the Museum of Ostrava, there are 5 other institutions of
this type.
As a major regional centre of culture and education, Ostrava also has its own Academic Library and a dense
network of municipal libraries. In October 2005 the Ostrava City Library moved into newly reconstructed
premises near the Sýkora bridge in the city centre.
Keen filmgoers can enjoy a wide choice of cinemas, ranging from the art-house Minikino to the popular
Cinestar multiplex (8 screens) or the 8-screen CINEMA CITY, which was newly opened in Nova Karolina.
A wide range of cultural activities is complemented by many local galleries and museums with exhibitions of
diverse areas of human life. The most important of these is the Art Gallery of Ostrava, whose attendance in
recent years has increases, exceeding the limit of one hundred thousand visitors.
The importance of the national cultural monument Vitkovice Lower Area goes far beyond the city, region
and the Czech Republic. By reconstructing the original gas holder, the "Gong", a multifunctional congress
centre with an auditorium of 1,500 seats and its own gallery space was built. A reconstruction of the original
historical energy distribution station gave rise to the Small World of Technology, an industrial museum with
educative elements. The dominant feature of Vitkovice Lower Area is a blast furnace transformed into an
observation tower with an educative trail.
12.5 Sport and recreation
Ostrava has a wide range of sports facilities – athletics stadiums, ice rinks, multi-purpose sports halls, tennis
courts, squash clubs, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, and many more. The most significant facilities are
operated by Sportovní a rekreační zařízení města Ostravy, s.r.o. Its outdoor swimming pool Ostrava-Poruba
is the largest natural swimming pool in Central Europe
Keen cyclists will enjoy the dense network of cycle routes crossing the entire city. This network is constantly
being expanded and passes through many places of natural beauty or historical interest – an ideal choice for
a day trip.
The area around the city also provides plenty of opportunities for leisure and recreation. The Beskydy and
Jeseníky mountains (30 km and 60 km away from Ostrava respectively) offer excellent skiing and winter
sports facilities. From spring through to autumn, the mountain ranges are a paradise for hikers, cyclists and
66/83
Fact Sheets 2013
anglers. Between May and September a ‘CycleBus’ service is in operation, carrying cyclists (and their
bikes), hikers and other passengers between Ostrava and the Beskydy mountains. In the winter sports season,
the SkiBus performs the same service.
Golfers will love the region’s courses – ranging from the Šilheřovice course (close to the city, in the grounds
of the local chateau) to the courses in Čeladná, Ropice and Ostravice. Just 30 km from Ostrava there is also
the popular 9-hole course in Kravaře.
Ostrava is the host city for a wide range of top national, European or world sporting events and
championships (ice hockey, handball, weightlifting, volleyball, figure skating, tennis – the Davis Cup,
bodybuilding and much more). Each year the city showcases the world’s top athletes at the Golden Spike
international athletics meeting.
In 2004 Ostrava was the co-host of the Ice Hockey World Championship. The games were held at the city’s
ČEZ Arena, one of the largest and most modern multi-purpose indoor arenas in the Czech Republic. In 2005
Ostrava hosted the European Futsal Championship, and in 2006 it was the venue for the European Floorball
Championships. In 2008 the city welcomed the World Floorball Championship and the 4th Baseball
Academic World Championship. In 2009 tennis-lovers enjoyed two rounds of the prestigious Davis Cup
tournament. In the following year, Ostrava hosted the European Table Tennis Championships and the
Basketball World Championship for Women and last year the 8th European Athletics U23 Championship.
In 2013, Ostrava won the title "European Capital of Sport 2014."
12.6 Tourist attractions
Technical monuments as well as Ostrava’s wealth and pride, are being discovered and admired by people
from around the world. NHL Lower Vitkovice, forming the distinctive skyline of Ostrava, offers a unique
experience combined with an industrial atmosphere. The Colours of Ostrava festival and the Janacek May
festival moved in 2012 into the factory space with concerts taking place around the gas tank and adjacent
areas. The factory includes a 75 metre high blast furnace, which can be climbed providing views of the
nearby Karolina and Trojhalí, soon to be interconnected. This development has given rise to a new
neighbourhood full of artists, modern art galleries, cafes, museums, convention and exhibition spaces.
In Landek park with the mining museum, you can walk in the footsteps of the mammoth hunters, who
settled at the confluence of the Oder and Ostravice rivers and see the unique Landek Venus coming from the
same period. The National Historical Landmark Michal Mine should be a must-see for anyone who wants to
experience the authentic atmosphere of mining and learn about the work of miners who used to provide us
with plenty of "black gold".
In addition to its industrial heritage, Ostrava also offers a range of other historical sights, cultural activities
and leisure opportunities which will delight visitors of all ages and interests. Among the most popular tourist
destinations in the city is the Ostrava Zoo – the second largest zoo in the Czech Republic. Other attractions
include the reconstructed Silesian Ostrava Castle, a popular venue for fascinating exhibitions and cultural
events, or Miniuni, a unique display of miniature scale models of famous European buildings. Each of
Ostrava’s museums offers its own treasures. The Ostrava City Museum displays a 225 cm-high grandfather
clock made by the master clockmaker Mr Mašek in the early 1930s. In 2009 the museum also opened an
exciting new permanent exhibition. Other interesting cultural attractions in the city are the Museum of
Firefighting, the Museum of Zithers, the Cathedral of the Divine Saviour (the second largest cathedral in
Moravia and Silesia after the Basilica at Velehrad), the Johann Palisa Observatory and Planetarium or
the tour of the Ostravar Brewery – not forgetting a tasting session, of course.
67/83
Fact Sheets 2013
Ostrava also offers a mobile guide which can help you find your way around the city as well as give advice

Fact Sheets 2013
15 City and Municipal District administration,
municipal organizations
Act no. 128/2000 on municipalities states that Ostrava is a Statutory City. The area of the City is divided
into 23 Municipal Districts. The City operates as a municipality with extended powers, exercising these
powers on behalf of several neighbouring towns and municipalities. The largest Municipal District is
Slezská Ostrava (Silesian Ostrava, 4 174 ha) and the smallest is Pustkovec (108 ha). As of 31 December
2011, the largest Municipal District in terms of population is Ostrava-Jih (110 398 inhabitants), followed
by Poruba (68 478 people) and the central Municipal District Moravská Ostrava a Přívoz (40 559 people).
The administration of the City is governed by the Statute of the City of Ostrava.
Local government activities are carried out by various bodies forming part of the City of Ostrava and its
Municipal Districts. Only the City of Ostrava is an independent legal entity; the Municipal Districts act on
behalf of the City exercising powers conferred on them by the Statute.
15.1 City administration
The City Assembly is the highest-ranking decision-making body of the City. Members are elected by
citizens for a four-year electoral period. The Assembly has 55 members and its sessions are open to the
public. The City Assembly sets up committees as its advisory and controlling bodies.
The City Council is the executive body of the City. It has 11 members: the Mayor, the Deputy Mayors
and a further four members of the Assembly who act as Councillors. The Council and the Mayor are
Assembly members elected to these positions by the Assembly. Sessions of the Council are closed to the
public. The City Council appoints commissions as its advisory and initiatory bodies.
The Mayor of the City is elected by the Assembly and represents the City in public.
The City Authority consists of the Mayor – who is the head of the Authority – plus the Deputy Mayors,
the City Authority Secretary and the employees of the City Authority. It carries out tasks assigned to it by
the Assembly and the Council as well as standard local government duties. The Authority carries out
these duties on the basis of current legal regulations.
The City Secretary coordinates and monitors the activities of all City Authority employees. The Secretary
is appointed and dismissed by the Mayor after approval by the Director of the Regional Authority. The
City Authority is structured in 20 Divisions.
