A mini-guide to visiting the old town of Brno in the Czech Republic.

Did you know that Brno is only a good hour away from Vienna ? Thank you, fast highway and train connections! My third visit to the second largest city in the Czech Republic is a rather “official city trip”: I was travelling there for four days to join the international blogger conference Traverse . While doing so, I tasted my way through a wide variety of restaurants, cafes & bars, got to know the charming old town of Brno and climbed the tower of the Old Town Hall early in the morning (alone, being the first – a dream!).

A view over the old town of Brno from the tower of the Old Town Hall, towards Spilberk Fortress.

Since my friend Simona, whom I know from a joint Camino hike in northern Spain , and fellow blogger Tomáš Hájek both live in Brno, I will likely continue to travel here in the future (then probably with the whole family, so I can tell you more about Brno as a family destination later).

Today, let me share the following tips for you on how to spend a few days in Brno .

Where to stay, eat & drink in Brno

Since the main reason for my trip to Brno was to attend the blogger conference Traverse, I deliberately looked for a hotel (or rather it became an AirBnB accommodation) very close to the venue. A little outside the immediate Old Town center, but within walking distance of the main sights, I can definitely recommend the main street Lidická with numerous accommodation and restaurant options .

We really enjoyed the pizzas of “La Speranza” in the evening, plus coffee & breakfast at Mymika in the morning ; for a typical Czech lunch I recommend you to head over to Stopkova restaurant in the middle of the old town near the central tourist information.

Well, hello Brno …

… we find you (and your nearby breakfast coffee shop Mymika, on Lidická Street) very charming!

Lunch, as I mentioned, is best enjoyed with a typical Czech beer & meal at Stopkova restaurant …

… my father, my little son Levin and I then enjoyed another great cup of coffee at Jean Paul’s near the Old Town Hall.

Tour of the Old Town Hall (plus ascent of the tower)

And since we are already at the Old Town Hall: Not only can you climb the great lookout tower with a view over the entire Old Town (by the way, do it in the morning when no one is there yet!). There is also very good information in English about the city in the attached tourist office, the famous “Brno Crocodile” (or is it a dragon?) and many nice souvenirs in the small store area. I picked out a dragon puzzle for my older son, he loves it! Also, many tours of the old town (and the town hall itself) start there.

Check this out.

The meeting point for our guided tour of the old town is right here – below the “Brno Crocodile” …

… from the tower of the Old Town Hall, you have a truly fantastic view over the Old Town of Brno, here for example with a view of the nearby Cathedral of Saint Peter and Paul.

Cathedral of Saint Peter and Paul

The city’s cathedral, perched on St. Peter’s Hill and visible from afar, was completed in the 18th century (I would have estimated it to be much older!). It can also be seen on the Czech ten-crown coin that city guide Jan holds out to us.

Speaking of coins: Did you know that you can pay almost everywhere with € ? It was really convenient that besides credit card payments, the tedious exchange of money in most stores, bars and restaurants was therefore not necessary.

Jan gives his best to relate all the many stories (and passageways) to us that Brno has to offer.

The Cathedral of Saint Peter and Paul …

… is also easily recognizable from Spielberg Fortress, which towers over the entire Old Town of Brno and can be seen from afar.

Spielberg Fortress

As participants in the blogger conference Traverse, we had the very good fortune to attend a magnificent evening event in the innermost ring of the massive Spielberg Fortress . The view from the extensive terraces is likely reserved for invited guests, but most parts of the fortress can normally be visited. The 360° panorama of the city and the surrounding countryside alone is worth the climb up this highest hill in the city with its imposing fortress.

Being welcomed at Spielberg Fortress …

… the views over Brno from the top of the fortress are just great!

A little off-beat: Visiting Villa Stiassni

Villa Stiassni is located just a few kilometres outside the immediate Old Town centre. It is one of the villas worth visiting in Brno (Villa Tugendhat has longer waiting times, so it is best to book online in advance). In addition to a classic guided tour with audio guides, Villa Stiassni can also be visited as part of a guided tour ; advance booking is also requested for this.

During the tour, we dive deep into the life of the Jewish textile manufacturer Alfred Stiassni, who had the villa built for himself and his family. However, they did not even live in it for eight years before they had to flee the Nazi regime and sell the villa again. You can find out more about the eventful history of the building, with some of the original furnishings still present, on this English website about Villa Stiassni .

Visiting Villa Stiassni in Brno is travelling in time …

… diving into what was formerly considered a kids’ playroom …

… we end our tour with a beautiful picnic on the lower terrace; there is also a café serving light refreshments there.

Top Attractions in Brno

Špilberk castle.

Built-in the 13th century by Ottokar II of Bohemia, the Špilberk Castle changed functions throughout its history. Initially used as a fortress overlooking the city, it was later used as a barracks and prison housing some of Europe’s most notorious criminals. Today the Špilberk Castle functions as a museum and serves theatrical plays to guests. The castle’s elevated position on top of the hill overlooks much of the Brno, which you can observe 360 from the castle watch tower and its bastion fortifications. At night Špilberk Castle and the surrounding buildings in the Park of Špilberk Castle light up, giving a spectacular view from the city below.

Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul

Located on Petrov Hill, the Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul, commonly referred to by locals as Petrov, is a roman catholic church dating to the 14th century. The building has undergone a list of renovations due to extensive damage caused throughout its lifetime. The most notable additions are its two 84 meters high towers.

Náměstí Svobody (Freedom Square)

The Náměstí Svobody is the main city square and focal point to start your exploration of Brno. The square is surrounded by pleasantly coloured buildings dating over 400 years, restaurants, cafes and places to shop. The most notable landmark in Freedom Square is the baroque-style plague column dedicated to the plague outbreak in Brno. To the right of the column, you will find modern fountains. Opposite these fountains, you see the bullet-shaped black Astronomical Clock of Brno, dedicated to the victory of the city’s people over the Swedish army that besieged Brno between 3 May to 23 August 1645.

Tourist Information Centre

The Brno Tourist information centre is in the Old Town Hall Building. This building also has its own observation tower, gallery and exhibitions you can visit.

10 fun things to do in Brno for families

• Brno , Czechia
• Brno , Czech Republic , Czechia , Family travel , Things to do in Brno

The O'Hallorans

We’re made up of Lyndsey, John and Erin, who all love a new adventure. We try to get away as much as possible, especially during school holidays and variety is a must for us. That means staying anywhere from a luxury hotel to a hostel and it’s not often we go to the same place twice. 

Brno may not be on your radar when it comes to family city breaks… but it should be! Its such a wonderful city with plenty of history and things to do. Read on to find out 10 fun things to do in Brno for families.

More about Brno

When it comes to visiting the Czech Republic, or Czechia , Prague is usually the first city that comes to mind. Brno is the Czech Republic’s second-largest city though and a great alternative to a city that is much more popular.

London Stansted offers direct flights to Brno, with a travel time of around 2 hours. This is ideal for families as there’s not much downtime and you can make the most of your city break. Transfers from the airport take around 20 minutes and can be easily done either by bus, taxi or Uber. The city centre is quite compact so children won’t get too tired doing lots of walking and many points of interest are fairly close together.

Brno is also a wine region in South Moravia. Although you might be visiting with children, you might want to make time to taste a couple of local wines.

10 fun things to do in Brno!

Not sure how to spend a family-friendly break in Brno ? These 10 fun things to do with kids will get you started!

1. Stroll around the Cabbage Market

The Cabbage Market, otherwise known as the Vegetable Market runs most days and is a great central location in Brno. The market starts setting up really early in the morning, with stalls surrounding the Parnas Fountain. Market stalls offer fresh and local produce, which can change depending on the time of year. I visited in September, which is a well-known time for wine and fungi in the region. The colours of the market are fantastic and there are plenty of cafes around the square. During the warmer months, grab a seat outside and enjoy a drink or some cake and take in the view.

2. Climb the tower at Old Town Hall

Brno is pretty special because it has two town halls. Old Town Hall is home to the BRNO sign (lit up at night time) as well as the BRNO dragon (actually a crocodile). This town hall has an amazing clock tower which you are able to climb, all the way to a viewing platform.

The Old Town Hall tower has 174 steps (63 meters) to climb until you reach the most stunning viewport, giving you 360-degree views of the city. Old Town Hall is worth visiting for this view alone and it’s one of the best places to get a spectacular view of the city. The climb isn’t the easiest, however, there are stopping points on the way up where you can take a breather if you need to.

3. Discover the underground labyrinth

Did you know there was a labyrinth underneath the Vegetable Market? Taking you right back to the Middle Ages, you can venture down into the maze underneath the city and discover the cellars and passages that were once used.

Tours are fantastic and you can find you lots of history and information about what the rooms were used for, and how that changed over time. From cellars, to prisons and pubs, these passageways have been used for many different things over the years and there aren’t many cities where you get to walk underneath!

4. Try and beat the Astronomical Clock

As a family, I always look for fun but free things to do no matter where we go. In Brno, you can visit the market square (not to be confused with the cabbage market) and you will find a really cool astronomical clock. At 11am each day, the clock will turn and release a marble. It’s not as easy as catching the marble though as there are 4 holes that it could come out of. You have no way of knowing which it will be until it happens so this means choosing and hoping for the best. Get there before 11am though as plenty of people will want to do this and of course, there are only limited chances on the day.

5. Brno Ossuary

For something really different to do, visit the Ossuary at the Church of St. James. This one won’t be suitable for everyone, and maybe not great for younger children depending on how well they do with strange/ creepy things. The  Ossuary in Brno  is only a short walk away from the astronomical clock and is somewhere you can spend an hour so it won’t take up too much of your time. Next to the Catacombs of Paris, the Ossuary at the Church of St. James is home to the remains of over 50,000 people. There are three burial chambers to explore, with printed guides available from the ticket desk.

6. Visit Špilberk Castle

You cannot visit Brno without a trip to Spilberk Castle, which is also home to the Brno City Museum. Construction of the castle began in the first half of the 13th century and was used for a number of reasons, including a prison! Nowadays, you can visit the castle along with both permanent exhibitions and temporary exhibitions, as well as the lookout tower and the Royal Chapel. The lookout tower is only open during good weather so the summer months are a good time to visit. You can pay to see different areas of the castle which is great if you only want to do one or two things here.

Spilberk Castle is at the top of a hill, which does mean the walk up there is quite steep. However, it’s a great place to look out over Brno and to get panoramic views of the city of Brno.

Find out more: https://www.spilberk.cz/en/spilberk/information-for-visitors/

7. Go on a tram

Brno has a fantastic public transport system consisting of trams, buses and trolley buses. The trams are really easy to use and you’ll see them as you’re wandering around the city. There are quite a few different lines though, all going to different places so be sure to do a bit of research before your trip, or pop into one of the Tourist Information Centres who will be able to help you. Trams are a great way to see the city while saving your energy and a fun thing to do in a new city.

8. Try new foods

Brno really is a foodie city and no matter what you’re in to, you’ll find food you’ll love! Here are a few ideas of places to eat and foods to try:

Traditional Czech food

One of the great things about going somewhere new is trying to local cuisine. Brno, and the Czech Republic is quite well-known for being fairly ‘meaty’ when it comes to food and restaurants. If you want to try something local, here are a few dishes to look out for on the menus:

• Vepřo knedlo zelo (roasted pork)
• Sekaná pečeně (baked mincemeat)
• Česnečka (garlic soup)
• Guláš (goulash)

Vegan options

Although known for being a ‘meaty’ city, there are plenty of options for vegans. Here are just a couple to choose from.

• Forkys – one of the most popular options, offering a really wide range of dishes and fast food. Although this is fast food, there are healthy options and the restaurant is plastic-free!
• Fryends – served from a small window in the wall, here you’ll find a range of vegan burgers and sandwiches. There is no seating at Fryends but there are plenty of benches or places to sit outside close by.

For more vegan food ideas in Brno, Footsteps on the Globe has plenty of recommendations.

Brno is a really cheap city to visit if you want to cut down costs on food and eating out. Although restaurants are quite cheap in general, fast food is an even better option. Along the main street in Brno you’ll find all kinds of options from pizza to kebabs to sandwiches.

One of my personal favourites was Poe-Poe. This fast food restaurant is split into two halves, with one serving freshly made crepes and the other serving pizza by the slice (or a whole pizza if you want). For around only £5 you can get 2 slices of pizza (multiple options available), a drink and a box of 20 deep fried potato balls. Pizza options seemed to include a meet variety, a vegetable variety and always a plain cheese pizza whenever I went in. This is great if you’re travelling as a family as there’s something for everyone.

You can take your food away here, or sit upstairs where there is plenty of tables.

9. Take a walking tour

One of my top things to do in a new city is to go on a walking tour. There are various options in Brno, from learning the history of the city, to a tour of the coffee shops and cafes. If you want to be restricted to time though, maybe do some research beforehand and go on a self-guided tour, where you can write a list of things to see as you go. You’ll see plenty of beautiful buildings, historic buildings and unique things as you walk around Brno. Be sure to look into some of the myths and legends of the city and see how many you can find.

10. See the butterflies at Papilonia

It might not be something Brno is well-known for, but I stumbled across Papilonia by accident. Younger children will love going into the butterfly house, where they can get really close to hundreds of butterflies. You might be lucky and have one or two land on you. If you want to increase your chances, wear either red or yellow, as well as a fruity perfume. Papilonia is a lovely place to visit that will only take up an hour or so of your time. Tickets can be purchased for a cheaper rate online.

Family holidays in Brno

What do you expect from a trip to a small old town? Unhurried walks, no crowds near the main sights, sitting in local restaurants and some pleasant boredom — to escape reality for a while, but then return.

What do you get? All this, and in addition modern infrastructure, good service, friendly attitude and prices are not as high as in the capital.

In any case, this is what Brno looks like. It has everything for family holidays: parks and museums, hotels and apartments, restaurants and shops. The Kidpassage review will tell you how the city lives, what time to plan a holiday with children in Brno and what to fill your trip with.

Brno on the map of the Czech Republic

Brno is the second largest city in the Czech Republic, the administrative centre of the South Moravian Region and the main city of the historic Moravia Region. It is located in the south-east of the country, 207 km from Prague, 170 km from Ostrava and 336 km from Karlovy Vary. The distance to Vienna (Austria) is 137 kilometres and to Bratislava (Slovakia) 132 kilometres.

The junction of the South Moravian Plain and the Czech-Moravian Upland, where Brno is located, is covered with forested hills. The name "Brno" has a fascinating linguistic origin that can be traced back through centuries of history. It is believed to have evolved from the Old Czech term "Brně" or "Brněn", denoting a hill or elevated area. Some linguists and historians suggest that "Brno" originates in the Proto-Slavic language. In this ancient linguistic form, "brniti" referred to defending or fortifying, possibly relating to the elevated position of the city.

Brno for Kids

So, the choice fell on Brno instead of Prague, complete with everything a tourist wants. In what case will it be enjoyable? If you want to take your time, walk, and be in nature on holiday, but you also appreciate comfort, excursions and entertainment, feel free to come to Brno with children.

The first thing visitors notice is the abundance of green spaces. Whether you are travelling with an infant who sleeps well in the fresh air or a restless preschooler, there will always be a park or forest nearby for walking.

Second observation — Brno is not very much like Prague. Sometimes, it may seem that you are in Austria and not in the Czech Republic. The influence of the neighbouring country is noticeable in the menus of traditional restaurants, customs and even in the character of the townspeople.

Another conclusion is that holidays in Brno are enjoyable. Several medieval castles in and around the city may not surprise sophisticated tourists, but the Ossuary will undoubtedly fall into the category of unique places. Add a trip through the Moravian Karst to impress even more.

And the most crucial thing is Brno's opportunities for children. A trip to the Museum of Experiments, an excursion to an old ore smelting plant or an introduction to reindeer can compensate for the lack of big amusement parks.

Finally, the city's infrastructure includes everything you need for a holiday with your child. Hotels, shops, pharmacies, and transport will help you plan a carefree trip. The only thing to complain about is the small number of direct flights. But connections are easy, as trains depart from Prague to Brno every hour.

Best time to travel

The tourist season in Brno is not as precisely defined as in large cities. Of course, the flow of tourists increases in summer and decreases in winter, but generally, the city can be visited at any time of the year. It is already warm enough in late spring to come to Brno with a baby and walk around, enjoying the freshness and silence.

In May, tourists visit the reserve to watch the pulsatilla, or sleepy grass, bloom. It sounds like a trip, but you can get there by public transport. Summer in the city is a festival. The Brno Exhibition Centre hosts concerts, theatrical performances, exhibitions, and sporting events every weekend.

Among other summer events is the City Day , celebrated in mid-August. Since the day commemorates Brno's heroic defence against the Swedish army during the Thirty Years' War, musketeers parade through the streets and battle scenes are reproduced in one of the squares.

Czech Beer Festival Brno (Český pivní festival Brno) normally is held in May or June. Celebrating Czech beer culture, this festival offers a wide variety of traditional Czech beers, food, and entertainment.

From June to July, Brno hosts a large-scale festival that adults and children enjoy. It is an international fireworks competition with musical accompaniment — Ignis Brunensis . The colourful shows occur in the town and castles of Špilberk and Veveří and the Brno reservoir. The contest ends with a grand final of fireworks over Špilberk.

Spilberk International Music Festival (Mezinárodní hudební festival Špilberk) typically takes place in June or July. A classical music festival held at Špilberk Castle, featuring renowned musicians and orchestras.

A reason to plan a holiday with a child in autumn is the Bastlfest festival. It is designed for those who love to invent and make things with their hands. Masterclasses and meetings with craftsmen last for two weekends in November.

In December, Brno is immersed in the anticipation of Christmas . Fairs with Christmas tree decorations, stalls with gingerbread, trdelniki and strudels, fragrant svářák, nativity scenes, and chorales — all this creates a festive mood, despite the frequent absence of snow.

By the way, what about the weather in general and snow in particular? The following section will help you decide when to go to Brno.

Weather & Climate

Brno has a moderate climate, without severe winter frosts or excessive summer heat. Sunny weather is not uncommon, although it is worth taking an umbrella on your trip, especially in spring or summer.

Summer is the time for the best holidays in Brno with children. The average daytime temperature during this period is +23-26°C, while the night temperature ranges from +14°C to +17°C. It gets colder to +16°C in summer, or the heat briefly exceeds +30°C. Clear and cloudy days are almost equal.

The average daytime temperature in September is +20°C, but the second half of the month can be cool and rainy. October is not often warm, with thermometers showing only +13-14°C during the day and +8°C at night, but precipitation is considerably less. By November, the air cools down to +4-7°C, and night frosts are possible.

In winter, the daytime temperature ranges from 0°C to +3°C, with a subzero temperature only at night. Snow in the city is considered almost a miracle, and fog and infrequent rains complete the winter picture.

Spring in Brno is a time of rejuvenation. The city comes back to life with blossoming flowers and longer daylight hours. It's a great season for hiking, exploring parks, and enjoying outdoor activities as nature awakens from its winter slumber. In March, with an average temperature of +9°C, the air can warm up to +15-19°C. The weather remains about the same in April, but in May, the daytime temperature often rises above +20°C. It is quite possible to plan a holiday in Brno at this time, but you should consider that May is the rainiest month.

Getting around

South Moravia, in conjunction with several neighboring towns, has seamlessly integrated its train, bus, and city transit systems under the banner of the Integrated Transport System of South Moravia (IDS JMK). With IDS JMK, the hassle of navigating multiple transit carriers and calculating fare differences becomes a thing of the past. The fares remain consistent, ensuring you receive the same quality of service for a standard price on every journey.

For both tourists and visitors, IDS JMK simplifies the transit experience by providing comprehensive information on services, stops, and fares through a dedicated website.

Services beyond Brno are meticulously organized and funded by the South Moravian region, while services within Brno are overseen by the Statutory City of Brno. These initiatives receive additional support from various cities within the IDS JMK network. The coordination of both regional and city transit falls under the purview of KORDIS JMK, a.s.

Brno is called a small city, but 230 square kilometres is a lot to walk everywhere. Fortunately, public transport in Brno is convenient, and the main convenience is a single ticket for all its modes.

Brno's public transport system includes day and night buses, trolleybuses and trams. Ticket prices depend on the length of the journey and the fare zone.

Tickets can be conveniently acquired through vending machines located at bus and tram stops, as well as at newsagents or within the carriages themselves. One more easy option is available. Upon boarding, a simple tap of your contactless bank card on the validator initiates the issuance of an hourly ticket, amounting to 25 CZK. This method stands as the most popular and effortless choice. Opting for a shorter ticket at 20 CZK, you must also beep on the exit. Additionally, the validator allows for the direct purchase of tickets for fellow passengers or alternative fare selections.

In the warm season, river trams run along the Svratka River. The minimum fare is the same as other transport, but it depends not on the duration but on the destination. Children under 3 years of age ride the river trams for free, children under 15 get a 50% discount, and a family ticket is also available. The timetable is available on the city's tourist website.

Using a bicycle to get around Brno is not uncommon, although the hire system and cycle paths are still developing. However, in the summertime, buses with bicycle holders appear on one of the bus routes.

But this is not a complete list. Mini-buses take tourists to the Špilberk Fortress, retro trams and a beer tram. The latter vehicle is run more for fun, but the mobile pub is a success.

Czech cuisine is meat and potatoes in dozens of variations. However, there are also salads, soups and side dishes on the menus of catering establishments. Brno's culinary scene prominently features traditional Czech dishes such as "Svíčková" (beef sirloin in cream sauce) and "Kulajda" (a creamy potato soup). These hearty meals often incorporate meat, potatoes, and sauces, providing a taste of authentic Czech flavors.

Younger travellers can taste beef or chicken broth with noodles, mashed or boiled potatoes, and boiled or steamed vegetables. The choice of cereals is usually minimal; often, there is only rice on the menu. Children's menus are only offered in some places.

Brno's culinary scene has evolved to embrace international influences, offering a wide range of international cuisines and fusion dishes. From Italian trattorias to Asian eateries, the city caters to diverse palates, ensuring a global gastronomic experience.

The city is dotted with cozy cafés and bakeries, serving delectable pastries, cakes, and traditional "koblihy" (filled doughnuts). Take a moment to indulge in these sweet treats while immersing yourself in Brno's laid-back café culture.

Moravia, the region Brno resides in, is renowned for its wines. Delight your taste buds with a glass of Moravian wine, complemented by regional beverages like "Slivovice" (plum brandy) or "Becherovka" (a herbal liqueur). These drinks are an integral part of local traditions and social gatherings.

The range of goods in Brno shops is wide and familiar, and prices are affordable. Baby food is sold in supermarkets and pharmacies, represented mainly by world-famous and Czech manufacturers.

There are several food markets in the city where you can buy farm products. The main market, Zelný trh, is located in the centre of Brno; another daily market is in the Komárov district. Locals like to shop in small farm shops. Exploring these markets provides a glimpse into the culinary diversity and allows for a farm-to-table experience.

What to do with kids

How interesting is it for a child to wander around old houses? Often, children don't mind hearing stories about bygone times and visiting museums. But in any case, young travellers need an opportunity to turn their attention – Brno has no problem with that.

Firstly, the city has plenty of places to walk with your child. Not far from the main sights, there is a park with a playground. After a tour of Špilberk, you can relax in the beautiful park surrounding the fortress. There is a quiet monastery garden next to the lively Mendel Square. Either of the two botanical gardens is gorgeous at any time of year.

There is a forest on the city's outskirts, and you can get out into nature in good weather. One of the best places for a holiday with a child in Brno is White Mountain. There are playgrounds and picnic areas there.

Another popular family holiday destination in the Czech Republic is the bobsleigh track or bobovka. The 1 km long track  Bobovka U Mlýna is winding and, at one point, makes a loop, so a pleasant dose of adrenaline is guaranteed. Bobovka is in the forest, which is not hot on the sunniest day.

Secondly, in case of bad weather or winter holidays, there are indoor entertainment centres. For example, there are swimming and relaxation pools, fountains and massage showers under the water park Aqualand Moravia's roof. There is a children's pool and a 90-metre-long tube slide for those who love water rides. Pools and an open-air recreation area are open in summer.

The VIDA Centre knows what to do in Brno with a child! It is an educational attraction, and not only children are interested in creating earthquakes, pumping blood with a giant heart and finding out how much a person resembles a potato. One of the most curious exhibits is a farm of leaf-cutter ants. These insects know how to grow the mushrooms they feed on, and there are many individuals within the colony tending the fungus.

The planetarium is not just fun, either. A cartoon journey into space awaits the little ones and older children – a thrilling walk among the stars and observing the evening sky through a telescope.

And how do you characterise what you see in the Model World railway layout? The little trains that run on it are very similar to the real ones, and the funny scenes you want to see in every detail. It's exciting when night falls on the layout and a fire-breathing dragon emerges from the darkness.

There are also several indoor entertainment centres for children in Brno, such as Bruno and TOBOGA Bongo .

Getting to know animals

Brno residents like to spend time with their children walking around the zoo. It is in a green area, its grounds are spacious, and the animals feel safe. Who will your kids like more: polar bears, Komodo varans, sea lions or Sumatran tigers? Don't miss the petting zoo, and visit the local playground.

But it's not for the sake of the zoo that this section was needed, but to talk about closer contact with animals. For example, how about a walk with deer in the Tyršův Garden Park ? Children quickly make friends with them and tell them that young reindeer have smooth and stiff coats and soft and velvety antlers.

There are several places near Brno where you can see free-range reindeer, wild boars and moufflons. Among them are Lužánky , a great place for family leisure. Visiting animals is free of charge in the Holedna Nature Reserve (Obora Holedná), but in the centre of the llamas near the Quarry Hády (Hády - lom), you have to pay a fee.

Interesting places for children are not necessarily playgrounds and attractions. A good museum can also fascinate a child, and in Brno, as in any old city, the city centre itself has become a museum.

Getting to know the city's sights briefly looks like this: A walk along the main streets A descent into the dungeons A climb up the hill to the Špilberk Fortress

You can usually start at the old town hall. What's the most fantastic thing about it – a "bent" decoration on the facade, a wheel from urban legends or a Brno dragon hanging in the air? You can admire Brno's historic centre from the Town Hall's observation tower, while the courtyard often hosts concerts, festivals and exhibitions.

From there, you can go to the Cathedral of St Peter and St Paul , called Petrov. There is also a viewing platform in one of its towers.

But probably straight from the town hall, the kids will head straight to the underground Labyrint pod Zelným trhem under the Vegetable Market. 212 steps down, tangled corridors, oak barrels, manuscripts with incomprehensible writings, dusty flasks, creepy instruments – all this tells the story of merchants, winemakers, alchemists, and, what's more, criminals and executioners.

Photo: https://podzemibrno.cz

We recommend showing the underground ossuary to a school-aged child. The vault under St Jakub's Church is known as the ossuary because it houses skeletonised remains. The pyramids of skulls and "stacks" of bones were created because there was not enough space for burials in the city. Modern installations, lights and music emphasise the atmosphere of the ossuary.

After that, the plan is to visit the Špilberk Fortress in Brno with a child. It was built in the 13th century and has withstood many attacks and sieges. The museums of Špilberk tell about its long history and familiarise you with Moravia's art. Entrance to the fortress is free, but you must pay to see the local history museum, the prison dungeons or the lapidarium in the former underground water tanks.

Generally, a simple walk around the city solves the question of what to see in Brno. Children are eager to come up with an explanation for the boulder being lifted by the figure on the Justice Fountain or why the horse on the monument to Jost Moravskýk has such long legs. And adults pay attention to the neighbourhood of Gothic and Baroque architecture and local restaurants serving roasted pork knuckle, knedlíky (dumplings) and the famous Czech beer.

The set of museums in Brno is mainly standard. But at the Moravian Museum of Local History, children are drawn to the Anthropos pavilion, which tells about the life of primitive people. The modern exhibit stands are no less attractive than the dioramas depicting the activities of Neanderthals and Cro-Magnons.

The Technical museum is also very good here. Even the playroom here is technically adapted for experiments. And the history of the development of different industries is well illustrated in the museum halls. Six old technical buildings in the Brno neighbourhood can be visited in the summer. These include the forge in Tešany, the ore smelter in Josefov, and the windmill in Kuželov.

Here are some more ideas of what to see with kids in Brno:

• an apiary and a bed of green peas at the museum of Gregor Mendel, the founder of genetics;
• models of traditional dwellings and unfamiliar musical instruments at the Museum of Roma Culture;
• porcelain figurines and painted pottery at the Museum of Applied Arts;
• a shop from the 1950s and 60s in the Retro Museum;
• the oldest BMW Dixi at the BMW Car Museum.

Sightseeing near Brno

An excursion to the Moravian Karst is often the reason for a holiday in Brno with children. It is a landscape reserve covering the territory of an enormous karst massif. Underground waters have washed hundreds of caves in the limestone, many of which are open to the public.

The obligatory programme includes the Sukhaya and Empty Balka canyons, the Matsoha cave, rafting down the underground river Punkve, and studying the differences between stalactites, stalagmites and helictites. The caves are always cold, so you should take warm clothes.

The second thing that attracts travellers are palaces, castles and fortresses. About two thousand of them are in the Czech Republic, with several well-preserved sites near Brno.

The impressive Veveří Castle dates back to the 11th century. The most interesting thing about its exposition is the recreation of furnishings characteristic of different eras. The dark, gloomy Pernštejn was not for nothing the location of the film about Count Dracula. The Baroque palace in Slavkov is dressed up both inside and out. And Blansko Castle , which now houses the town museum, charms with its elegant simplicity.

Pernštejn Castle

Imagine strolling through the picturesque streets of Brno, armed with your BRNOPAS card. You're not just a visitor; you're a privileged explorer, unraveling the city's secrets with every step.

You visit the awe-inspiring Špilberk Castle, Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul, ossuarium where your BRNOPAS grants you free entry. The history, the architecture – it's all yours to absorb. Next, a boat trip, a leisurely sail complemented by discounted fares courtesy of your BRNOPAS. As the day unfolds, you explore the city's hidden gems, immerse yourself in its culinary delights, and collect cherished memories.

Families traveling with kids can benefit from special discounts and curated family-friendly attractions, ensuring a memorable outing for everyone. Embark on a wild adventure at Brno Zoo, home to a diverse array of animals. Your BRNOPAS ensures a free entry and a visit that's both enriching and entertaining.

In many other places, you can get a discount of up to 30% with the card. BRNOPAS for 1-3 days costs 580-810 CZK for adults and 370-550 CZK for a child under 16.

Where to Stay: Brno's districts

There are many options for where to stay in Brno with children. City hotels provide star-rated comfort, while apartments are cosy and self-catering.

If you have only two or three days at your disposal, it is better to choose accommodation closer to the main attractions of Brno. Brno's outskirts with green recreational areas, such as Lišeni, Bystric, and Novy Liskovec, are suitable for a more extended holiday.

Most of the city's hotels are three- and four-star, modern, with decent service. To choose the best place for children, pay attention to the following services: free accommodation for preschool children, a cot for a baby or an extra bed for a child (sometimes free of charge), children's menu (usually for a fee), and babysitting services. Entertainment for children is usually not provided in city hotels.

There are several hotels with wellness centres near Brno. Their main charm, however, is not in this, but in the location in the forest or near lakes.

For independent holidays in Brno with children, travellers often rent apartments with a kitchen and a washing machine. The rental price depends on the season but is much lower than in Prague. The immediate surroundings of Brno are connected to the centre by public transport.

If you intend to come in the summer, it is worth looking for a place to stay in Brno six months in advance. The demand for accommodation also increases during the Christmas and New Year period.

From architectural masterpieces to subterranean discoveries, the Czech Republic’s second city has something for everyone without the hustle and hassle of bigger cities.

Take in the Views from the Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul

TripSavvy / Evgeniya Vlasova

Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul

Perched atop Petrov hill, the impressive Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul is impossible to miss. Explore the area around it, marvel at the Baroque architecture inside, and climb to the top of the Gothic Revival towers to take in sprawling views of the city below. This beautiful piece of architecture is such a significant landmark in the Czech Republic it landed the coveted spot on the back of the 10 koruna coin. A curious quirk of the cathedral, it rings its bells at 11 a.m. instead of 12 p.m., thanks to a popular legend originating from the Thirty Years’ War.

Explore Špilberk Castle

Špilberk castle.

Dating back to the 13th century, Špilberk Castle was once the seat of Moravian margraves and, for a time, was considered to be the harshest prison in the Austro-Hungarian empire. The casemates below the fortress can be visited today and offer a glimpse into this grim past. Above ground, the castle is now home to the Brno City Museum. Visitors are treated to some of the city's best views from the complex, and the gardens surrounding are a great place to enjoy a relaxed stroll.

Enjoy the Unique Nightlife

While Brno’s nightlife tends to be more understated than the wild nights bachelor parties travel to Prague for, it has plenty of its own quirks. If you want to try some of the Czech Republic’s world-famous brews, head to Lokál U Caipla or Pivovarská Starobrno for some of the freshest beer in the city. Výčep Na Stojáka offers a more unusual beer-drinking experience. Its name roughly translates to ‘standing up pub,’ so it’s common to see patrons sipping their craft news on the curb outside during the warmer months as there are no seats inside.

If cocktails or fine spirits are more to your taste, Bar, Který Neexistuje (Bar that Doesn’t Exist) won’t disappoint. Enjoy a dram from their impressive whisky list or sip a handcrafted cocktail while enjoying the 1920’s New York atmosphere. If you want to leave your drink choice up to fate, head to the entertaining Super Panda Circus .

Learn Something New at the Museum of Romani Culture

Museum of romani culture.

The Museum of Romani Culture is the only museum of its kind dedicated to the culture and history of the Romani people. The permanent exhibit takes visitors on a journey through the history of the Roma, covering an expansive time period from ancient India to the present day. From World War II onward, the exhibit takes a closer look at the situation of Roma in the Czech Republic specifically. Temporary exhibits showcasing art and photography are also regularly featured.

Catch the Astronomical Clock’s Glass Ball in Náměstí Svobody

Náměstí svobody.

Náměstí Svobody, or Freedom Square, is Brno’s main square and the location of the city’s peculiarly shaped astronomical clock. Crowds gather around the imposing black stone monument daily as it chimes 11 a.m. and drops a glass ball for one lucky person to catch. It’s common to find people standing around the clock as early as 9 a.m. claiming their spot for this event. The square hosts several festivals throughout the year and is lined with restaurants and bars, making it a great spot to enjoy a meal or drink outside in the city center.

Tour the Ossuary Beneath Church of St. James

Kostel sv. jakuba.

Walking past the Church of St. James, you’d never know what lies beneath, and people didn’t for many years. Rediscovered in 2001, the ossuary is the second biggest in Europe, after the Parisian catacombs. It dates back to the 17th century and houses the remains of over 50,000 people. Visitors explore this underground resting place accompanied by music from Miloš Štědroň that was composed specifically for this location.

Hike Around the Brno Reservoir to Veveří Castle

Brno reservoir.

The Brno Reservoir is a beautiful setting for water sports, swimming, cycling, and hiking. Hikers will enjoy the forested trail along the water’s edge leading to Veveří Castle . The castle has a long history dating back to the 11th-century housing royals, withstanding sieges, and even hosting Winston Churchill and his wife on their honeymoon. Boats run between the castle and Bystrc harbor during the summer, providing a relaxing, scenic journey back to the city after an exciting day of hiking and exploring.

Visit the Capuchin Crypt

Capuchin crypt.

The mummified remains of dozens of Capuchin monks lie beneath the Capuchin Monastery in Brno. Due to a vow of poverty, the deceased monks' bodies were placed in the crypt without a coffin. The composition of the environment of this resting place has naturally mummified their remains over time. This practice ceased in the 18th century due to hygiene laws, but visitors can still enter the crypt to pay their respects and marvel at this natural phenomenon. The words “As you are now, we once were; as we are now, you shall be” in Czech are inscribed at the site, leaving visitors with a solemn reminder.

Spend the Night in the Nuclear Bunker 10-Z

Bunker 10-z.

This formerly top-secret air raid shelter was originally built in the hill below Špilberk Castle during the Nazi occupation of Brno. It was later equipped to house 500 people in case of a nuclear attack during the Communist era. Today, visitors can explore bunker 10-Z on their own or with a guide, and the brave can even spend the night in one of the hostel rooms in this underground labyrinth.

Tour the Famous Villa Tugendhat

Villa tugendhat.

Villa Tugendhat is an architectural icon. Located in Brno’s Černá Pole neighborhood, this building was a pioneer of modernism when construction began in 1928. The Gestapo confiscated it during World War II, but it was restored to its former glory in the 1960s. In 1992, it was the setting of Velvet Divorce that split Czechoslovakia into two independent countries, and it was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2001. Villa Tugendhat is one of the top sights to see in the Czech Republic, so be sure to book a tour at least three months in advance to avoid disappointment.

See the “Dragon” at Old Town Hall

Old town hall - tourist information centre.

Not only does Brno’s Old Town Hall house the tourist information center, but it’s also home to the city’s “dragon.” Visitors should not be alarmed when they find a full-sized taxidermied crocodile hanging from the ceiling in the archway below the Late Gothic turret. Legend has it that this “dragon” terrorized the city until an ingenious idea finally put an end to its reign. Enjoy the events hosted in the courtyard or climb to the top of the tower for a great view of the city.

Explore Zelný trh Above and Below

Cabbage market sqaure.

Zelný trh is one of the main squares in Brno. Its name translates to ‘vegetable market’ and has been the site of a marketplace for centuries. Vendors sell produce and flowers around the stunning Baroque fountain centerpiece called ‘Parnas.’ The Reduta Theatre, the oldest theatre in Central Europe, can also be found here with a statue outside commemorating Mozart’s performance here when he was just eleven years old. In addition to shopping, visitors can visit the medieval cellars and passageways that lie below the market.

Learn About the Father of Genetics at the Mendel Museum

Mendel museum of masaryk university.

The Mendel Museum is dedicated to Gregor Johann Mendel's work, who is generally credited as being the father of genetics. The museum is situated within the grounds of Brno’s Augustinian Abbey, where Mendel once lived and worked, and is run by Masaryk University. It’s a place where researchers and the general public can come together to learn about Mendel’s life, work, and legacy, as well as other topics of interest from various scientific and artistic disciplines.

In the town centre, easy and fun to explore on foot, tourists can enjoy great museums, historical venues and other interesting sites. Brno is also a very green city with lots of parks and lakes where visitors can chill out and just forget about everyday life.

The national dish of the Czech Republic is roast pork with sauerkraut and knedliky–huge coin-shaped dumplings sliced off from a long roll. All this is washed down with beer–Czech pilsner might be the best in the world. Vegetarians used to be faced with a choice of fried cheese or chips, but now the situation is much better, with an abundance of Italian eateries. Brno also has several first-class vegetarian restaurants, listed below. Desserts are hearty and include exquisite ice cream, thick Turkish coffee, and some interesting liqueurs and digestives to round off a typical blow-out.

This Czech city has a long tradition in terms of coffee, as proved by the famous "Brno Coffee Week" during which coffee tasting, coffee presentations, and coffee-making competitions take place. Wandering around the city centre, you'll come across tons of lovely cafes, but make sure to check the ones listed here!

Bars & Nightlife

The Moravian's love of beer is well-documented. Bars are usually very full, very smoky, and quite often the domain of middle-aged men. However, pick a venue from the list below and you won't be disappointed by the genuine pub experience. As a university town, Brno has a young, hip population and a great nightlife scene with a great choice of trendy discos, raves, alternative gigs, jazz and world music venues, opera and art-house cinema–everyone will find something to do once the sun goes down.

Brno has a great variety of shopping opportunities – from little boutiques and speciality shops to large shopping malls containing everything you may ever need. Several large malls are situated right in the centre of town, so take a walk and enjoy both shopping and cultural attractions.

This Music-Filled City Is Stepping Out of Prague’s Shadow

Every corner of brno, czechia, thrums with music, art, and self-expression..

• Copy Link copied

Vetsiges of the old city and fresh elements of modern culture intermingle in Brno, Czechia.

Photo by Leonhard Niederwimmer/Unsplash

Pronounced Burr-NO , ideally with a luxuriously rolled “r,” Czechia’s second-largest city is roughly a quarter the size of Prague and receives almost none of its international tourists. Yet it is Brno, not the capital, that has been designated one of UNESCO’s Cities of Music , honoring its thriving network of bars, nightclubs, and concert spaces, along with its world-class festival calendar. The scene here offers everything from the banjo punk of homegrown band Poletíme to JazzFestBrno, whose 2024 performers include Grammy Award–winning singer Samara Joy. Between the golf ball–shaped and acoustically advanced Sono Centrum venue and the imposing medieval walls of Špilberk Castle (where the city’s philharmonic performs), there are few spots in Brno that aren’t pressed into musical service.

In the summer, it’s the streets themselves—lined with a quirky confusion of communist-era slab blocks, confectionery-colored art nouveau mansions, and sleek modernist villas—that reverberate. In July the Pop Messe festival, now in its fourth year, draws alternative music headliners from across Europe. In August, free outdoor gigs spill across Brno’s compact center during the annual Music Marathon. Some take place in the city’s many hidden courtyards, others in busy squares including the Vegetable Market, where artists play live alongside fruit stalls and food trucks.

Brno’s bar scene thrives at 4pokoje, which is situated among Brno’s many historic buildings.

Brno’s clubs and nightlife, meanwhile, have long skewed away from the mainstream. “Here there was always a strong underground scene,” says Martin Kozumplík, who runs one of the city’s most popular venues, Kabinet Múz . “Growing up in the time of communism, it felt like everyone played in a band.”

With floor-to-ceiling windows and houseplant decor, Kabinet Múz is a vegan café by day, serving fried tofu “sushi” bowls and fragrant homemade soups while playing vinyl from its own record label. At night, a 300-strong clientele drinks pivo (beer) in the back room during indie rock or electronica shows.

The city’s history as the capital of Moravia—a winemaking region with a deep corresponding tradition of folk song and dance—has some bearing on its musical culture, as does its easy distance to the larger cities of Vienna and Prague, since performers often stop here on their tours. Honoring the bicentennial of 19th-century Bohemian composer Bedřich Smetana, renowned for his operas and symphonic poems, 2024 has been declared a national Year of Czech Music, and Brno will be a focal point of the celebrations.

Brno’s artistic streak extends beyond music. The recently reopened Museum of Applied Arts , founded in 1873 and housed in a three-story Renaissance revival palazzo with fin-de-siècle interiors, has been transformed by the Czech architect Ivan Koleček. Exhibits include Lucie Koldová’s modern, elegantly curved chairs and tables that float alongside catwalks suspended across a light-filled atrium. There’s even a café inspired by 2001: A Space Odyssey , where a robot arm delivers you a cappuccino with your own picture appearing in the foam.

Meanwhile, a new gastronomy is blossoming in Brno; try farm-to-table bistro Atelier or Italian spot Castellana Trattoria . At the creative cocktail bar Super Panda Circus , drinks are served as part of a storytelling experience in which guests play a role. Visitors should stay at the 37-room Hotel Avion , which reopened in 2022 after six years of renovation and many decades of decay. It’s a classic of the city’s 1920s love for functionalist design and an architectural oddity at only 26 feet wide—the kind of place you wouldn’t find anywhere else but Brno.

Tips for planning your trip

• Go deeper: Tour operator Tic Brno offers English-language outings with experts on local cultural features, from art nouveau architecture to baroque monuments. One tour focuses on the city’s theaters and music venues.
• Only in Brno: Brno houses Europe’s second-largest ossuary : 50,000 human skeletons are collected in the catacombs beneath St. Jacob’s Square. The repository of bones dating from the 15th to the 18th centuries was discovered 22 years ago, and the ossuary was opened to the public in 2012.

Obsah / Table of Contents

Best things to do in Brno City Center

Brno City Center is a lovely area which can be easily explored by walk within one day . If you prefer a faster way, you can check guided tours on Segway. Great idea is to buy a BrnoPas, which gives you free public transportation, free entry, and discounts to the best places. So, what to do in Brno?

1) Špilberk Castle

Castle of Špilberk was established in the 13th century. It’s situated on 290 meters high hilltop. Špilberk was turned from the royal castle to massive baroque citadel in the 17 th century. In its casemates, there used to be the heaviest prison in the Austro-Hungarian empire, intended for the most hardened criminals.

Špilberk Casemates are opened to the public and it’s one of the most interesting things to see in Brno Špilberk Castle. You can also visit the viewing tower or some of those permanent exhibitions. Check the opening hours and prices at the official Spilberk website .

You can visit the walls and courtyard of Špilberk for free. At the courtyard, you can find a castle well and chimes (which plays a nice melody every hour). There are also cannons on the wall and a beautiful view of the city.

2) Petrov – Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul

Petrov Cathedral is the most iconic building of Brno. It’s situated on Petrov hill and you can see it on arrival to Brno from many different directions. You can also see it on our 10 CZK coin. It has a long history. Petrov used to be a Romanesque Chapel in the 11th century, then Basilica (in 12-13th century) and later it was rebuilt into the Gothic style and officially declared a cathedral in 1777.

Cathedral can be visited for free every day from 8.15 to 18.30. There is also a mass every day. You can also climb one of the two impressive 84-meters-tall towers for a small fee. There is a nice view of Brno. If you are interested, you can join commented tour and visit also a cathedral crypt. In this case visit “Diecézní museum” – a building with address Petrov 1 by the stairs (Corner of Petrská street, next to the Cathedral).

Denisovy sady – Park around Petrov – If you are at Petrov hill, make a short walk around Denisovy sady, a nice park with a view to the tallest building in the Czech Republic. This place is also popular for parkour enthusiasts as well as a place where to have a drink and chill.

The most famous legend of Brno – Why the noon is ringed at 11 o’clock at Petrov – this legend dates back to the Thirty Years’ War when the Swedish army sieged Brno. General Torstenson and his 28 000 men spent 4 months trying to conquer Brno, which had only 1526 defenders. General Torstenson agreed to call off the attack if they couldn’t conquer the fortress by midday on August 15, 1645. Thanks to a wise idea, someone decided to ring noon an hour early that day and Brno was saved. True story: Swedish army was exhausted, and they gave up in the evening of 15.8.1645. 8 000 of Swedes were killed, meanwhile, on the other side, only 250 Brno defenders lost their lives.

3) Old Town Hall

Brno Old Town Hall has the 63-meters-tall tower which you can climb up and enjoy the view of Petrov Cathedral and Brno City. The tower is open to public from April till October and tickets cost 70 CZK. Opening hours and other info can be found here .  The Old Town Hall was built around 1240. There is also a tourist information center.

Before you enter, there are 3 interesting things worth noticing:

• Twisted pinnacle – Look up at 5 Gothic turrets decorating the entrance. The one in the middle is twisted. Why? Here is another legend: When the councilors ordered the decoration, they agreed with the sculpturer Anton Pilgram on the price, but when it was nearly finished, they refused to pay him, so he got angry and made the last turret as you can see it – twisted as council manners.
• Crocodile aka Brno Dragon – Crocodile is a symbol of Brno City and again it is tied to a legend, according which the Turkish sultan gave the crocodile to Brno Council as a present. The crocodile lived by the Svratka river and locals were afraid of the “dragon”, who was killing their sheep. So, one day, one brave man came up with an idea. He took a bull, stuffed it with quicklime and brought it to the river. The crocodile ate it, drank from the river and died because of the quicklime. Now crocodile is hanging in the arched passage at Old Town Hall.
• Wheel – You can also see there a wheel. This story began in Lednice town (60 km away from Brno) in a pub. Locals bet with the wheelwright that he is not able to make a wheel and roll it from Lednice to Brno on the same day. But Mr. Birk was so skillful that he was able to make it. As memory and tradition, there is a race of rolling the wooden wheel from Lednice to Brno every year.

4) Zelný trh (Vegetable market)

Zelný trh is one of the oldest squares in Brno. For centuries, it has been a place where locals buy fruit, vegetables, flowers, and other goods. The dominant of the square is a monumental Baroque fountain by Johann Bernhard Fischer von Erlach. There are 2 theaters, Husa na Provázku, and Reduta – one of the oldest theatre buildings in central Europe. You can find there also the Moravian Museum.

From Zelný trh, you can continue to Biskupský dvůr, Petrov or the Old Town Hall.

5) Labyrinth underneath Zelný trh 

Brno is literally drilled through with the underground tunnels and labyrinths. Have a look to one part underneath Zelný trh.

The cellars were built since medieval times. Typically, they were used as storage units for food, beer, and wine or as hideouts during wars. More often they were used as cool storage rooms for the marketplace above them. You can join a guided tour from Tuesday to Sunday. Find out more information about the tour and prices (about 160 CZK) at the official website .

6) St. James Ossuary – 2 nd largest Ossuary in Europe

An incredible number of more than 50 000 people is buried underneath the St. James (Sv. Jakub) Church. The ossuary was discovered in 2001 and opened to the public 11 years later, in 2012. It’s the 2 nd largest ossuary in Europe after Paris. It’s definitely one of the things to do in Brno. Skeletal remains belong to victims of medieval cholera and plague epidemics, Thirty Years’ War and Swedish siege.

You can visit St. James Ossuary in Brno from Tuesday to Sunday. Entrance fee is 140 CZK. The tour is very impressive also thanks to music composed especially for the ossuary. You can find more info here . I can 100% recommend visiting this place.

7) Astronomical Clock and it’s secret

Maybe you will laugh when you see it. The astronomical clock is the last thing that it is similar too. Locals call it “big black dick” or just a “dick”. Now seriously – you already know the legend about the Swedish Siege of Brno. This astronomical clock was built in a shape of the bullet, as a memory of the victory in 1645. It is made of 7 parts of granite which are rotating with different speed (one part makes one rotation in 1 minute, another one in 1 hour, etc.). So technically it really shows time, however, it’s almost impossible to read it.

Therefore, there is a guideline : Face the clock with the tram track behind you, make 15 steps back, turn left and look at the clock at St. James Church.

The secret of the Astronomical Clock: Every day at 11:00 AM you have a chance to catch a glass ball (marble ball). Who wouldn’t like a free souvenir from Brno? It is not that easy, but you might be lucky. Choose one of the 4 holes around the clock and wait until the 11:00 (it is good to be there early because people are usually waiting there ahead of time). Glass ball will go from the top to one of these holes. Put your hand inside by the “ball track” and try to catch it. You must be lucky to pick the right hole because there is only 1 ball out of 4 holes. Have fun!

Locals also make fun of it because “Of course, dick has to have balls” 😀

Insider’s tip: During the Christmas Markets time, the marble drops every hour from 11 AM to 11 PM.

8) Sculpture of Jobst (Jošt) on the Moravian square (Moravské Náměstí)

Just a few steps from St. James Church you will find 8 meters tall sculpture of Jobst of Moravia as an allegory of Courage. Moravské náměstí is a nice square right next to the St. Thomas Church, but why I am recommending you see this sculpture? It is another fun thing to do in Brno. Go right underneath the horse, stand between his front legs, look up to his head and you can start laughing. Sometimes there might me queue of sightseers who want to take a picture from underneath the horse to add one more d*ck to their Brno photo collection.  

9) Villa Tugendhat

If you find yourself as a fan of modern architecture, you shouldn’t miss Vila Tugendhat. The Villa of Greta and Fritz Tugendhat is a unique monument designed by German architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Villa was built in 1929–1930 in functionalist style and it is the only building of modern architecture in the Czech Republic which is inscribed in the UNESCO list.

Visiting Villa Tugendhat: you can visit Vila Tugendhat every day except Monday from 10:00 to 18:00 (last entry is at 17:30). It is necessary to buy tickets in advance. Usually, all the tickets are sold out several months in advance, but from time to time you might find some free slot. So, if you want to visit this unique place, book your ticket in advance. Visit the official page of the Vila Tugendhat to find more information and tickets.

How to get to Villa Tugendhat? – the Adress of Vila is Černopolní 237/45, Brno-sever, Černá Pole. The easiest way to get there is going by tram (9 or 11) to Tomanova stop and then continue to Muchova street by walk.

More things to do in Brno City Center

If you want something more or if you are interested in underground places of Brno, here are two extra places:

10) Bunker 10-Z

You already know that Brno has really a lot of underground places. If you are a fan of it, you might want to visit a nuclear fallout shelter 10-Z. It had been built during the Nazi occupation as a civil defense shelter and it was under control of the Czech army until 1993, and it had been classified as a top-secret . Book your cheapest ticket here .

• Don’t book your accommodation at Cejl (read the following paragraph about safety)

Safety in Brno

Brno is a very safe city in general, maybe except one quarter among the streets of Cejl – Ponávka – Francouzská. It is a gypsy quarter, all shops have bars/grids because the criminality is higher. There is quite a lot of cheap Airbnbs and Booking offers because tourists don’t know about it. If you want nice memories of Brno, book your accommodation elsewhere. Cejl is not a nice area anyway.

Brno is not that touristic place, so there are no tourist scams or traps.

Brno weather

Check the weather forecast for today and the following days:

Getting around Brno

Brno has great public transportation and is quite small compared to other European cities. Getting around by public transport and by walk is more than enough. You can also use shared bikes “Rekola”.

Living the Life My Mom Warned me About

48 hours in Brno | The perfect itinerary

How to spend 48 hours in Brno solo

I have to admit I didn’t quite like Brno in the beginning, but when I left, I was definitely in love with it. The city grows on you, but you have to be there for the right reasons.

Brno is often touted as the less touristy alternative to Prague, where you can drink and chill, without the stomping, camera-clicking thousands. And that’s what exactly Brno is. A place to unwind and chill, the Czech way. There’s not too much to actually see and do. It’s a cute and cosy city with amazing wine and really lovely people.

So don’t come to Brno expecting Prague. Come because Brno is special, and should be enjoyed in its own unique, small-town way.

Brno is the Czech Republic’s second-largest city after Prague, with a population of around 380,000 people. It is located in the Southeast of the country and is the capital of the Moravian region.

Here’s an easy itinerary for Brno. It doesn’t include much drinking and partying because I was travelling alone but does have some recommendations I got from locals. Hope you come to love the city as I did.

Take a Walking Tour of the city; get an awesome city map

The 95 minutes free walking tour starts from Freedom Square and pretty much shows you everything there is to see. As part of the tour, you will see

• Náměstí Svobody with the phallic-shaped black granite clock. At 11 a.m. (Brno’s fav time, you will know why during the tour), a single glass ball pops out of the clock. People crowd around from much before, sticking their hands in, hoping to catch one
• Old Town Hall and the Brno Dragon
• Zelný Square with the Cabbage market
• The Cathedral of St Peter and Paul (Where the bell tolls at 11 a.m. and not 12, again!)
• Moravian Square

and many others peppered with interesting stories and recommendations

When : May-September daily at 11 a.m.

Where: Starts at Náměstí Svobody, next to the weird phallic clock

Stop by one of Brno’s fantastic coffee shops

There are several of them in Brno but I enjoyed my hour at SKOG Urban Hub and would go back again in a beat. I loved their sparse modern interiors, very friendly staff, and awesome food. The cocktail they gave me—Farewell—was a mix of boysenberry puree, cold brew, and Giffard bitter syrup. It melted my worries away.

Other cafes to try: Monogram Espresso Bar and Industra

See exhibits at the Moravian Gallery, if open

Know more: At their website

Visit the Špilberk castle; catch a summer special performance

Špilberk was once a major royal castle and the seat of the Moravian margraves but later turned into a prison for the Austro-Hungarian empire, and later still, barracks. Today, Špilberk houses the Brno City Museum and also functions as a stage for several cultural events.

I found the castle less than impressive, but the views from it were spectacular, especially at dusk. There are a couple of cafes on the castle ground you can visit for some snacks and beer while gazing into the city. The events ongoing were fun too. I attended the Klezmatics Philharmonic as part of the Špilberk Festival (entry: 120 Kč) and the enactment of the Day of Brno  or Den Brna when the city celebrates the heroic defence of Brno against the Swedish army. It was a fun (and may I add, loud and rambunctious) event!

Before or after you visit the castle, be sure to drop by Zahrada Ambrosia or Cafe Podnebi around the periphery of the castle grounds. A delicious full meal with wine at Zahrada cost me a mere 185 Kč or €7. Cafe Podnebi usually has live music in the evenings, a beautiful seating space, and a great variety of food to top the experience.

Know more: castle website

When: April-September: 9 a.m.- 5 p.m.; Oct-March: Tue-Sun 9 a.m.- 5 p.m. Castle grounds are open all the time

Wine tasting at a Vinoteque; take a PET home

It’s not just for beer, but the Moravia region is also famous for great wine, if not more so. Moravia accounts for over 95% of the country’s vineyards and therefore, in Brno, you will find a Vinoteque or wine shop every hundred meters. What can you do in a Vinoteque, you ask? Taste all the different types of wine; you can keep requesting tasters until you get dead drunk or the owners throw you out. If you do land up liking the taste of one particular wine, ask them to bottle it up for you. You can take away great, dirt-cheap wine in a PET bottle and enjoy the high every night of your stay in Brno.

Costs: ~100 Kč or €4 for a litre of Merlot

Watch Summer Cinema at Scala, beer in your hand

Cinema Skala runs a series of what is called Summer Cinema. This runs from the end of June to the end August, takes place in an open-air theatre, and costs about 100 Kč or €4. The location of the Summer cinema differs from year to year. This year, for example, it was at the Governor’s Palace courtyard.

Know more: At their Website

Timings: Box office opens after 4:30 p.m. but you can buy tickets online

Drinks and snacks: At Bar Scala

Get shit-scared at a lit hive of bones

With 50,000 skeletons in the underground crypt, the Brno Ossuary is the second largest in Europe, after the Paris catacombs. What is an ossuary? A backup for a cemetery. Where you send skeletons once the grace burial period is over at a cemetery. Like in the Kundera story: Let the Old Dead Make Way for the Young Dead . By the way, did you know, Milan Kundera was born in Brno?

Visiting the ossuary was an interesting experience. Skeletons and bones peep out as embellishments from the walls around. Broken noses, hollow eyes, misplaced jaws, multitudes of silent screamers. Eerie background music and some creative sculptures add to the overall effect. A unique experience if you’re strong of heart. I almost felt reverential towards the skeletons, also a bit sad. We all end up like that…

Know more : Website

Timings : Open 9:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. usually and Mondays are closed; In August on Fridays, open until 11 p.m., the last entry is 10:30 p.m.

Duration : Takes less than 15 minutes to see the three crypts but people need to enter in batches

Where : Next to the St James church, you will see a flight of stairs leading down to a door. Lo presto, you’re in the land of the dead.

Costs: 140 Kč.

Lounge at Cabbage Market, running since the 13th century

Zelný is one of the oldest squares in Brno operating since the 13th-century. Every day, from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. (Sunday closed) vegetable and fruit vendors gather to sell the freshest wares. It is not a tourist trap, locals actually shop here. Apart from fresh produce though, there are also some interesting modern snack vendors too: Božský Kopeček for vegan icecreams, DobroKáva (Coffee in exchange for a good deed), Būcheck (the queues on this one!) and thus you can spend a few hours lounging here quite easily.

A scoop of vegan ice cream costs 33 Kč or €1.3. Try the lavender blueberry or the plum poppy. Super yum!

Nightlife: Go classy or proletariat

Brno is teeming with nightlife options. As you walk along and around Freedom Square i.e. náměstí Svobody, you’ll find several places to plonk in and try the local beers. But if you are looking to experience something special, you could try:

• Bar Ktery Neexistuje or The Bar That Does Not Exist: International standard pub, great cocktails, mini burgers, very popular and always super crowded
• Super Panda Circus: Kitschy cool, super cocktails, attentive staff
• Výčep Na Stojáka: Old school, cheap beer, stand, drink, mix, make random friends and do stupid things

Other awesome things to do

• Take a tour of the Moravian wine region and to the castles of Lednice and Valtice
• Do the one-hour ride to Brno reservoir and see the Veveří Castle alongside
• Visit the Moravian Karst and see the network of limestones caves

Shopping in Brno

Brno does not have very many shops set up exclusively to please tourists, which can be both a blessing and an inconvenience. For example, I had to course through several streets to finally come upon pretty postcards at ‘ The Space ‘. The retail store houses products created by local designers and are exquisite.

Textile House on the street leading to the Cabbage Market had some unique second-hand vintage clothes retailing for about 200-400 Kč. Some distance away, in Veveří, are other local shops well worth a tram ride. These are Jetu Milo , Restart, and Step Shop .

For beer shopping, head over to Pivotéka U Modrého lva , because, how can you not take home some beer from the land of beer?

Transport in Brno

Locals claim transport to be a breeze although I stumbled often. I took a day transport pass that cost 90 Kč (€3.5). It covered buses and trams (also called Šaliny) in zones 101 and 102. Google Maps oftentimes struggled to show me the best connections because of the massive roadwork ongoing in the city (which apparently happens every summer). The IDOZ app was suggested as an alternative but it was less than intuitive and I gave up after a few tries. For taxi on-demand, you could try Liftago, though, given the amount of ongoing roadwork, I didn’t try it.

When you arrive at a bus or tram stop, check the board for the platform number (to match with what’s mentioned in google) and also double-check the route on the yellow poster.

Easy Brno Day Trips

Although there’s a multitude of places to visit in South Moravia, not all of them are easy to get to, unless you have a car. The suggestions I’ve listed in this article are easy to get to by either public transport or by tourist shuttle transfer from Brno city.

I’ve partnered with Visit Czech Republic to bring you this travel guide. This article is based on the destinations and experiences I took part in. All views and opinions are my own .

1. The Lednice-Valtice Complex

If you only have time to do one trip from Brno, be sure this is it. The Lednice- Valtice Cultural Landscape is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most popular things to see outside Brno and certainly worthy of a place on anyone’s Czech Republic bucket list .

The whole area has a fairytale feel about it, thanks to the romantic natural landscape in the region.

Two iconic landmarks here are the Baroque Valtice Castle and the opulent Lednice Chateau set in stunning, well-manicured grounds surrounded by artificial lakes and rivers dispersed between an oriental-looking Pavillion, a Roman aqueduct, a Venetian fountain, photogenic footbridges and summer houses.

Valtice Castle dates back to the 11th century, it’s undergone numerous rebuilds and renovations. The biggest reconstruction is how the castle acquired its present appearance which was completed during the 17th and 18th centuries. The two Czech bucket list-worthy landmarks are a short distance from each other and you can use the bus to get between them.

Reconstruction of Lednice Chateau took place in the 1800s and the version of the building you’ll see today is a mix of Renaissance and neo-Gothic styles. Aside from the intricate exterior and exquisite interior, another highlight here is the enormous greenhouse, which is the second largest in the world (the one at KEW Gardens in London is the biggest).

South Moravia is a huge wine-producing destination. Dotted around the area are several wine producers and if you have the time, certainly worth calling in during your Valtice day trip.

I visited the winery at Annovino, (which is a 20-minute walk from the Lednice Chateau). You can visit and either opt for just tastings in their shop or go with a tour guide to see the winery , along with multiple tastings along the way.

📍 Getting to Lednice-Valtice Complex from Brno: There are various public transport options to get to Lednice, the shortest journey takes about an hour.

From Brno Main Station take the R13 train to Otrokovice (3 stops and takes about 30 minutes). Get off at Podovin and exit the building to the bus stop. Take the 555 service to Lednice náměstí (3 stops and takes 10 minutes), it’s just a few minutes walk to Lenice Castle from this stop.

Lednice Chateau and Valtice Castle are about 9 km apart from each other. The same 555 bus connects the two. Get back on at Lednice náměstí (6 stops and takes about 15 minutes). Get off at Valtice, železniční zastávka and walk to Valtice Castle entrance.

If you don’t want to take public transport, go with one of the organised Brno tours instead .

2. The Moravian Karsts Show Caves

One of the best Brno day tours, if you want to get out into natural surroundings, is the Moravian Karsts.

Here you’ll find a mixture of cave systems, and depending on your travel style, you can opt to view the caves on a walking tour, on a boat, or for the active types, on an adrenalin adventure .

One of the most popular systems is the Punkva Caves and Macocha Abyss. This involves a 1.4km route inside the cave, made up of walking as well as taking a boat ride along 440 metres on the underground river Punkva. The route leads out to the naturally decorated Masaryk’s Dome.

Adventure lovers should head to Výpustek Cave. Unlike the caves you’ll see in the Punkva Cave system, the ones here show how humans have impacted the caves. During wartime, they were used for phosphate collection.

During prehistoric times, large numbers of bears lived in these caves (you can still see bones from them, and even a tooth embedded into the cave wall! – you can see this on the walking tour visit to Výpustek Cave).

Over time, excrement from the bears built up. Basically, their poop was mixed with the natural clay and sediment floor of the cave. During the war, there was a shortage of fertiliser, so this phosphate-filled clay was extracted from the cave and used instead.

If you book the adventure tour, you’ll get to see another fascinating part of the cave. The secret bunker!  In the ’60s a top-secret fallout shelter and headquarters for the military. A whole community was built inside the caves, complete with dehumidifiers and heating systems to allow people to live and work there.

Even the locals didn’t know it existed, thanks to a cover-up story of it being a storage facility for medical supplies. In reality, inside was in part a workshop for weapons and strategic planning.

📍 Getting to the Moravian Karsts from Brno: Getting to the Moravian Karst from Brno is doable by public transport. The caves are fairly spread out, so these instructions get you to a central area near the different cave systems.

In less than 90 minutes, you can be transported to the show caves. There are a few options for public transport, this is the quickest one. From the Brno Královo Pole Train Station (in the north of the city), catch the number 233 train to Blansko (non-stop and takes about 27 minutes). Exit Blansko train station.

From here, there are two options, either catch a taxi directly to the cave system you want to visit or if you’re into walking, then catch the 226 bus from Blansko, aut. St. to Blansko to Skalní Mlýn (7 stops, and takes 10 minutes).

This drops off outside the tourist information centre in the middle of the Moravian Karst, from here, there are numerous walking trails. As a heads up, it’s a scenic 30-minute walk to the Punkva cave from here, there are other caves and attractions closer.

If you want the easy option, book a tour of the Moravian Karsts . If you want to do it by yourself, then you’ll be able to find out more about getting to the caves by visiting the Brno Tourism Information Centre.

3. Boating on Brno Lake & Veveří Castle

One of the closest attractions near Brno for a day trip is Brno Reservoir. Located a 30-minute tram ride to the northwest of the city, you could even enjoy a visit to Brno Lake as a half-day trip if you’re pushed for time.

Surrounding the reservoir you’ll find cafes, restaurants and most importantly, leisure activities, it’s a popular destination with tourists and Brno’s residents, looking to do water sports, or simply relax.

Around the lake are woodlands with trails, making it a perfect sport for hiking and cycling. If you don’t mind the cold, then the water is also safe to swim in. In winter the lake freezes over and can be ice skated on.

A popular activity to do here, and to enjoy the scenery, is to sail on Brno Lake. The boat meanders its way through the picturesque countryside and woodlands eventually stopping at Veveří Castle perched on top of a rock, overlooking the river. Here you’ll have some time to walk up the hill and explore the ruins before catching the boat back.

Veveří Castle dates as far back as the 11th century and was first built just as a hunting lodge. The move from a hunting lodge to a castle happened between the years 1213 and 1222 and was developed into a fortified castle and prison. It wasn’t until the earlier part of the 13th century that it began to resemble a functioning castle.

Of that original structure, the keep is the only part that remains and is the oldest part of the ruins. Over the centuries, the castle changed, and bits were added to it. Today you can wander about the ruins, there are great views across the valley from the lookout tower.

📍 Getting to Brno Lake from Brno: Two trams go from Brno Centre to the Reservoir, Numbers 3 and 10. They both depart from Česká Street in the centre, it’s 16 stops and takes about 30 minutes. Get off the tram at Přístaviště.

From there it’s just a few minutes’ walk to the reservoir. You’ll know you’re in the right place when you see the giant white anchor – called the Anchor of Hope.

4. Self-Guided Walking Wine Tour

I had a whole day spare at the end of my trip and was looking for an easy day trip around Brno. I decided to do my own wine tour from Brno and make the most of being in the Czech Republic’s biggest wine-producing region.

The Czech Republic is known for great wine and is home to no less than 1200 wineries. The majority of the wine is produced in the south of the country, in the regions of Bohemia and Moravia, out of the two, Moravia is where 90% of the wine is produced. That means that there are numerous vineyards near Brno . However, it can be tricky to find a cluster of a few of them within walking distance of each other and accessible by public transport.

In the quaint village of Popice, there are three fabulous vineyards. They do feel like they are in the middle of nowhere, and I’d only recommend doing this walking wine tour if you enjoy walking, (I love walking, so it was perfect for me).

This 7km (approx 4.5 mile) loop trail, undulates through the countryside, and visits three vineyards; Sonberk, Gotberg and Zidek.

Aim to leave Brno mid-morning to enjoy this day at a comfortable pace and to also give you decent time to stop off and enjoy each of the vineyards. You can book tours and guided tastings at each of the vineyards.

One thing you’ll notice here is the number of cyclists stopping at each vineyard. If you’re an avid cyclist, then it’s good to know that there is a whole cycle route dedicated to touring the wine regions.

📍 Getting to Popice from Brno: This easy journey departs from the main train station in Brno. Take the S3 south to Popice. The journey takes around 45 minutes and makes 9 stops along the way.

5. Region of Znojmo

When deciding what to see around Brno, the Region of Znojmo should definitely be on your list. It’s a beautiful historic town that dates back to the 7th century. Visiting the region of Znojmo is a fantastic day trip idea from Brno.

Known for its well-preserved historical sites and picturesque landscapes, Znojmo offers a variety of attractions. The town sits next to the Thaya River and Podyjí National Park, which is perfect if you’re looking for hiking opportunities or to simply enjoy nature.

Znojmo is also a vibrant and historical town in the Moravian wine region, making it a must-visit for wine lovers. From exploring mysterious catacombs to touring castles, there is plenty to do in this charming city in a day.

📍 Getting to Znojmo from Brno: Getting to Znojmo is quite straightforward. You can take a direct train from Brno’s main station, which takes about an hour. Alternatively, you could opt for a private car transfer, and take the opportunity to visit amazing places along the way.

Three Cities Close To Brno (That Aren’t Prague)

The first city pretty much everyone heads to in the Czech Republic is Prague, and yes, I know it’s a phenomenal city with a ton of great things to do there, BUT there are also other great places to see besides the capital.

These three cities here are doable as day trips, but honestly, it would be very too rushed, and not do them justice. If you have the time, plan for at least an overnight stay.

6. Ceske Budejovice

If you want to stick with exploring more of the Czech Republic, then head to České Budějovice in South Bohemia . The city has a thriving beer scene; it’s the home of the original and best Budweiser beer and there are numerous microbreweries in the pretty, cobblestoned city centre. This is also a great place to base yourself if you want to visit the UNESCO city of Český Krumlov or explore the southern Czech Republic .

7. Vienna, Austria

The Austrian capital is just over 69 miles (111 km) away from Brno, and with up to 29 trains a day with a travel time of less than 2 hours, it seems crazy to not visit. This is a great destination if you want to see palaces, listen to classical music and visit some of the best museums in Central Europe.

8. Bratislava, Slovakia

If you’re after a different capital, then the Slovakian capital of Bratislava is another great option to visit. Up to 21 trains a day travel 75 miles (120 km) journey. It takes around 2 hours to get to this city, which boasts a photogenic old town . Other highlights are the striking Blue Church (St Elizabeth’s Church) and castle.
