Turnov is the main tourist center of the Bohemian Paradise, and has for centuries also been a jewelery making and gemstone polishing center. The city surroundings are known for interesting rock outcrops and picturesque hiking trails.

The city has been a thriving center of artistic handicrafts since the Middle Ages. In 1884, the only jewelery-making school in Europe was established here, and it still operates today. The main material used to create it were grenades, and the ornaments made of them gained fame not only in the Czech Republic, but also abroad.

Today, a wonderful collection of arts and crafts, including jewelry, but also glass can be seen in the Hruby Rohozec Castle. It is one of the main attractions of Turnov, and apart from the artisan collection, it also exhibits castle interiors from the period from the 17th to the beginning of the 20th century.

Another attraction of Turnov is its location in the center of the Bohemian Paradise. It is a region known for rock labyrinths, rock outcrops, caves and beautiful hiking trails. The Valdštejn Castle built on rocks is located in this wonderful landscape. Its origins date back to the thirteenth century, but it became today's romantic residence in the nineteenth century thanks to the Lex family. In its vicinity, there are several viewpoints prepared for their guests by the then owners. Currently they are under the management of the city of Turnov.
