Brno Czech Republic

Brno Czech Republic is the second largest city in the country, with a rich history dating back to the year 1000. The best time to visit Brno Czech Republic is during the off season in Spring and Fall when the weather is mild, crowds are small, and travelers will find the best deals. Brno Czech Republic is the capital of the Moravia region, and often overlooked by visitors who concentrate their Czech trips around Bohemia, though the city offers plenty of attractions for visitors.

One of the most popular things to do in Brno is sightseeing. The most famous attractions in Brno include the Czech Supreme Court, the historic Spilberk Castle and museum, the beautiful churches such as Petrov Cathedral and Capuchin Monestery (where tourists can view mummified monks), Old Town Hall, Freedom Square, and the Baroque Parnas Fountain. Many attractions in Brno can be found exploring the City Center and its many historical buildings, shopping in the Vankovka Gallery Centre, dining on traditional Czech food and having a local beer in one of the many pubs, or enjoying the vibrant nightlife, arts and theatres. Other things to do in Brno include visiting nearby Tugendhat Villa, a UNESCO World Heritage site famous for its political history and beautiful architecture, or attending a Moto Grand Prix race. With so many things to do in Brno, the city can make a fine destination on its own or provide for excellent day trips from the capital in Prague.

Brno travel is possible via plane, train, car, or boat. If you prefer to fly, your Brno travel will likely lead you to Brno-Turany International Airport. The airport offers flights to London, Moscow, and Prague, and provides travelers with a frequent public shuttle that connects the airport with regional and national bus stations and the Brno Central Station located downtown near Old Town. If you’re looking for the best value, Brno travel by train is your best option. Train service is available from Vienna, Austria, Ostrava and Bratislava, Slovakia, as well as many smaller cities throughout the region. The city serves as a major stop on the Prague to Vienna route and is serviced by all Eurocity and Intercity trains. The Integrated Transport System of the Southern Moravia Region offers service throughout Brno as well as the Southern Moravia Region and passengers can take advantage of train, tram, bus, and trolley travel using a single ticket. If you’re willing to pay more for the flexibility to explore the country on your own schedule, you’ll want to rent a car. National highways are well-maintained and require a toll sticker. Many travelers will fly into Prague, rent a car there, and drive the 125 miles to Brno. A less conventional means of Brno travel is by boat. Visitors can board cruisers at Veverska Bityska during the summer months and cross the Brno dam lake to Brno-Bystrc. A scenic cruise is a great way to introduce yourself to the many attractions in Brno and get a better idea of what you’d like to spend time exploring in more depth.
