Ostrava is a vibrant city located in the Moravia-Silesia region of the Czech Republic. Situated near the borders of Poland and Slovakia, it is the third-largest city in the country and serves as an important industrial and cultural hub. Known for its rich history and industrial heritage, Ostrava was once a major coal mining and steel production center.
