The town is situated on the right bank of the Jevišovka River. Horní Dunajovice Reservoir, built on the Křepička Stream, is situated on the northeastern municipal border.
The first written mention of Mikulovice is from 1314. In 1558, Mikulovice was promoted to a market town by Emperor Ferdinand I.[2]
There are no railways or major roads passing through the municipality.
The main landmark of Mikulovice is the Church of Saints Peter and Paul. It was originally built in the Romanesque-Gothic style, but later it was extended and modified in the Renaissance and Baroque styles. Some valuable Romanesque elements have been preserved to this day.[3]
