If you are fascinated by Bata legacy, don't hesitate to visit Zlín. Soak up the unique atmosphere, stroll through the factory grounds, visit the local cafés, just stop in for a while (by the way, you can also visit the ones where this book was written). And then go to the iconic sites of the city, built by the shoemaker.
To help you get to know Zlín better, I recommend using the Zlín Architecture Manual, which has a great website and app. The website can be found at: zam.zlin.eu, the app is commonly available on downloadable app platforms.
On the website www.batuvregion.cz you will find all the tips on what to visit in Zlín and information about news from the region, especially those related to Bata.
The City of Zlín developed the Bata’s Zlín app. This is a great city guide that can make your visit to the city lively and enriched by the spoken word.
The City of Zlín and the aArchitektura association also offer guided walks around the city, so from May to September you can enjoy a walk around the key Bata sites. These are held every Wednesday from 15:00 and Saturday from 14:00 during the season. For more information, visit www.ic-zlin.cz/prohlidky-s-pruvodcem.
