Pension fontána, ubytování Poděbrady

Sport and culture

We offer you a pleasant stay in comfortable rooms designed to provide high standard accommodation suitable for families, athletes, holiday-makers, as well as spa patients and their relations.

The town along with its surroundings seems to be an ideal base for touring, doing different activities or for peaceful relaxation. Directly in the town center you might enjoy strolling along the spa promenade and around the parks or sightseeing.

We suggest that you explore the meadowland along the Elbe River, with its distinctive flora and fauna. Tour the countryside on foot if you like to take grassy paths or on in-line skates or by bike using the newly built asphalt-surfaced communications.

Do not miss a swim in a nearby sandy lake with sandy beaches in summer. If the weather is bad, why not visit Prague using a fast Podebrady - Prague motorway connection - it is a 20 minutes´ drive or an hour´s train a or bus ride. You can also vist a new aquapark (2006) in nearby Kolín.

Golfers will be welcome to try one of the most spectacular 18-hole golf courses in the country, including a training course, and to hire a trainer. There are tennis courts, a squash centre, fitness centre, minigolf and skatepark too. If you wish to ride a horse, you will be able to get in touch with the local horse-riding club. The Elbe River and the lakes abound with fish and therefore fishing possibilities are plentiful.

The dominating sight is Podebrady Chateau (the seat of King George of Podebrady) accessible from the central square. The town surroundings are also interest - taking a communication upstream the river exclusively intended for cyclists or walkers, you will get to the confluence with the Cidlina and further to a fortified settlement that dates back to 10 century of Slavnik Dynasty. A motor train or a boat named King George will take you to this destination and back. Other places of interest are the Polabske Muzeum and the Ethnographical Museum in nearby Prerov nad Labem.

Numerous fancy restaurants as well as cafeterias and fast food shops are within walking distance. A supermarket open 7 days a week is within 50 m of the pension.

Both train and bus stations can be reached within 8 minutes on foot unless you want to use the local private taxi service.
