What to do and see in Brno, Moravia: The Best Things to do Good for Couples
The charms of the Czech Republic's second-largest city may not be immediate, but spend a few days in this Moravian town and Brno's vibrant, authentic Czech ambiance will win you over. It's a fine way to experience Czech life without the teeming herds of tourists that visit Prague. Art Nouveau, Empire and Neoclassical buildings stand in the bar- and restaurant-packed old city center. Leafy parks abound. Be sure to get a photo with a local landmark, the suspiciously crocodilian Brno Dragon statue.

We've been there in December but the best time to visit this place would be most probably the summertime. Prepare for some small hiking. We were not ready for that but despite all the sweat it was worth to see it all. You will see some wild animals but don't be deceived by some comments about bringing the food for them. Don't do it. We bought a full package of carrots and...it turned out to be a huge mistake. You can't feed animals there. If you do it remember about 5k CZK you may pay for it (fine). I recommend this place to literally everyone who likes to stay healthy ???????? And don't bring food for animals!!!!!! ????

I was lucky being invited to visit this Brno villa designed by Ernst Wiesner while rooms were full of flowers arranged by contemporary floral designers. One more thing attracted my attention - the fashion parade - hommage to Elsa Schiaparelli. My friend and me had our hats on as well and we applauded to beautiful ladies and their creations. We had enjoyed the inspiring moments and wish you to have the fall of grace too.

This neo-Gothic cathedral is famous for the bells that always ring noon at 11 A.M., a tradition that dates back to a 1645 siege by the Swedes.

1. Having occupied the hilltop at the southern corner of Brno and with both towers open to the public (requires ticket), the cathedral offers a magnificent view to the city (only the Spilberk Castle’s watchtower offers a more comprehensive outlook in this respect, having occupied another hill more overlooking to the whole city). 2. The church dates back to the 11th century but the main building and artistic elements are developed much later. The interior is built by the 18th-century Baroque architect, M Grimm. 3. Having finished the main halls, you’ll realize you can’t find the entrance to the towers. For to reach that entrance you’ll have to brace the snow again – enter through a side-gate outside. Ticket office to both the towers and treasury to be found mid-way as you walk up the stairs. 4. It is not uncommon for cathedrals to showcase their treasury. And it is even more strategic to include it as part of your tower ticket. 5. As you go up the flights of stairs, exhibition boards will tell you how the church comes into its being, how the bells are to be used three times a day to indicate the prayer times, the shortening of the southern tower to make the two equally attractive, and so on. 6. And then the same boards appear again and again repeating themselves on the top decks. So that you’ll not be excused to miss a single detail. 7. After you’ve visited one of the towers, go through the door to reach the opposite side. The corridor can be in complete darkness if the doors on both sides are closed. 8. On both sides of the corridor there is a trick step to punish the hasty and those with Vitamin-A Deficiency. ‘Be careful’. 1.

8. Old Town Hall
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 324 reviews
A significant historical building in the centre of Brno. Today, the Old Town Hall serves mainly cultural purposes, as it houses a gallery, an information centre, and a permanent exhibition on its history. In summer, you can visit its historical halls and climb up the 63-metre tower to enjoy an impressive view of Brno from the top. The courtyard serves as a venue for various concerts, festivals, theatre performances, and film screenings. Enter its arched passage through the portal beneath the legendary Late Gothic turret by sculptor Anton Pilgram. In the passage, you can see two items from other famous Brno legends: a crocodile, also called the Brno dragon, and a wheel. The courtyard beyond, with Renaissance arcades from the end of the 16th century, was built by Italian designers, and later modifications are the result of its Early Baroque renovations. The Old Town Hall served its original purpose until 1935 when the authorities moved to the New Town Hall located at Dominican Square.

... when the authorities moved to – surprise! – the New Town Hall. 1. Besides holding cultural/musical events, when you get on the middle floor you'll also see a permanent exhibition on the architect-sculptor behind the design - Anton Pilgram, a thriving period for him from the late 15th to the 16th century. Long story short – he worked and studied in places like Strasbourg and Vienna and brought back a Central-European late gothic style to Brno. 2. Go up the tower for a great outlook especially the Zelny Square and the Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul. ~master jonjon

When you are in Brno and you have more days to visit, it is really good idea to visit Brno water dam. What to expect: huge dam with lovely nature around. Castle Veveri to visit. Good for date, for walking around, swimming, family trip, friends trip, water sports, sunbathing.. How to get there: the best is to take tram 1 from HLAVNI NADRAZI (Main train station) in direction Ondrouškova and get off at Přístaviště. It takes 30mins approx. You need to buy 1hour ticket, as there are no 30mins ticket. Do not forget to mark it in the tram. What to do there: - sunbathing, watersports, - there are some restaurants and also fast-food snack bars - in June there is annual Ignins Brunensis - international fireworks exhibition - you can take boat trip till the end of the dam and on the way you can get of as many times as you want and come back then. The best stop is for the CASTLE VEVERI - It is really worth to take this tour, it is nice and relaxing BOAT TOUR (not guided tour,it is just a ride): - boat operates usually every 45mins or hourly from 8am - 5pm - however this depends on the season and the level of the water etc. - you can check the timetable of this boat at the web of Brno Transport office - The areal of Veveri castle is open in April - October on weekends and public holidays from 9am - 5pm, from May - September daily except Monday from 9am - 6pm - you can buy ticket only for the boat tour or also for the castle - Castle Veveri is very nice to visit, the area around is very nice and external area of the castle - there are also some exhibitions to visit, however we did not visit them Have fun! ps: for the boat tour always check the web of the transport office of Brno
