South Moravia Photo Tour
Come and explore the beauty of this undiscovered region of Czechia. Photographers call it Moravian Tuscany for a reason. Let me take you to the best locations in this ever-changing agricultural landscape full of lines and shapes.
3D/2N Photo Tour Itinerary
Rolling fields and vineyards
This on-demand landscape photography tour will take you to the popular photo locations of South Moravia in the Czech Republic. This incredible region offers plenty of opportunities to shoot the local agricultural landscapes, which are full of rolling fields, vineyards, crop patterns, and rich shapes. But there’s more!
Lednice Chateau (UNESCO)
Our South Moravia photo tour also features fairytale-like Lednice Chateau, a UNESCO Heritage Site.
Windmills
We will also photograph two windmills in a lesser-known area named Moravian Holland to bring variety to your trip portfolio.
Exclusive shoot at a 270-year-old wine cellar and wine tasting
Optionally, I arrange a wine tasting with a professional sommelier and a photo shoot inside an ancient 270-year-old wine cellar. Local wine collects international awards in competitions all over the world. This is subject to availability based on the owner’s program.
Extension in Telč (UNESCO)
On the way from South Moravia to Prague, we can make a 2-hour stop in a picturesque town named Telč. It’s listed in UNESCO and is famous for its square, lined with gabled houses.
Three days in Moravia
Spending three days (two nights) gives you enough time to explore various regional locations while keeping the costs relatively low. We will shoot two sunrises, two sunsets, and also mid-day when we visit Lednice Chateau.
Best time to photograph
Spring is the best time to photograph the region. Specifically, from mid-April until mid-May, the region turns into a palette of vibrant colors; green is the greenest, and red poppies complement the yellows from the blooming canola fields.
For photographers of all levels
This tour suits photographers of all levels, and even non-photographers will enjoy this unforgettable journey to the South Moravian countryside.
South Moravia or Moravian Tuscany?
South Moravia used to be a photography playground exclusively for Czech photographers, but thanks to social media, it has become increasingly popular among international photographers as well. Nowadays, it’s one of the top photo locations in the Czech Republic for landscape photography.
This South Moravian region is often referred to by photographers as Moravian Tuscany because it resembles Italian Tuscany. Americans may recall the rolling hills in Palouse, WA.
Landscape photography in South Moravia
Most landscape photography is done with a wide-angle lens. Not in South Moravia.
Your telephoto lens will become your best friend when photographing the rolling hills of South Moravia. At focal lengths over 200 mm, you will practice capturing abstract landscape photos and lone chapels and looking for various natural lines.
Our subjects will range from landscapes full of shapes, lines, and patterns to local landmarks and sentinel trees. We will likely spot deers, pheasants, and hares on the morning photo shoots.
We will focus mainly on framing compelling compositions and taking advantage of good light during sunrise and sunset. I will help you choose the correct camera settings to ensure you will get many stunning images.

Accommodation in South Moravia
We will stay in a top-rated, clean, family-run guesthouse named U Tří růží. The cozy rooms have private bathrooms, and the staff serves delicious breakfast.
It’s in Vrbice, a small, picturesque village in the South Moravian Region. This village holds the title of “Village of the Year 2014.” Most shooting locations are up to a 20-minute drive from here, and this village itself has the nicest wine cellars in the region, strongly resembling the hobbit houses.
Pricing and booking
I offer 3D/2N private, on-demand photography tours. Pricing starts at 24 000 CZK (~950 EUR), and the final cost depends on the scope of the photo tour. It typically doesn’t exceed 30000 CZK (~1200 EUR) for 1-2 participants in total.
Send me an inquiry and I will walk you through the details and pricing options.
Meet Jan, your photography tour leader
Hi, I’m Jan Miřacký! I am a travel photographer born and raised in Prague, Czech Republic, and I know all the best locations and the perfect timing to be there. I’ll help you find the right spot, motivate you to boost your creativity and abstract skills.
I’ve been photographing South Moravia and leading photography workshops and tours there since 2017.
Having a local with you will break the language barrier that exists in the region. Many people only speak Czech, and simple things like ordering a meal in a restaurant can become unnecessarily challenging for foreign visitors.
Since 2014, I’ve led award-winning photography tours in Prague, my hometown.
