I went to Znojmo despite a guidebook warning about it mainly being a stopover for Austrian businessmen. That'll teach you to listen to guidebooks.

Znojmo, Czech Republic-a striking skyline |

Looks like Italy, but it's Znojmo, Czech Republic |
I spent a lot of time on my pension's balcony, above, eating leisurely breakfasts, writing, and enjoying the fall sun before it turned cold.

More views from my pension, Znojmo |
The place I stayed--both visits to Znojmo--was the charming and central
Cyklo Penzion U Mikulase. It provides basic budget accommodations with thin walls and great views.

Great hiking around Znojmo |
The old town center is full of pretty squares, churches, and other architectural pleasures. Quiet and walkable, and almost eerie in its night-time stillness, Znojmo remains one of my favorites small cities.
