The modern town has several large shopping malls, libraries, a public swimming pool, stadiums, ice-hockey arena. The town is served by Roudnice Airport (LKRO / domestic flights). One of Bohemia's oldest towns, Roudnice received city status in late-12th-century and was initially named Rudnik (Rudnica). In 1333 AD was ordered the construction of Bohemia's first stone bridge over Elbe River (rebuilt into a steel road bridge in 1910). In the 19th century, after the opening of the Prague-Dresden railway, Raudnitz became a major industrial and economic center. Until 1918, the city was part of Habsburgermonarchie (Habsburg Empire / 1526-1804).
