Tábor was the capital of the radical Hussites in the fifteenth century and keeps its history in the old town hall on the square and, beneath it, in an underground of cellars and passages. This train plan spends the morning on the museum and the underground, eats on the square's terrace and leaves the afternoon for the Kotnov tower and the crooked streets of the old town.
