Vila Stiassni

Reviewed By UGM_BRNO - Brno, Czech Republic

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.

The mutlifunctional Alfa palace lies on the corner of Jánská and Poštovská streets and connects to buildings on náměstí Svobody (Freedom Square) through a passage. The grandly conceived block of flats with a shopping arcade was built by František Hrdina according to plans originally by Bohuslav Fuchs and later modified.

Old Town Hall with Astronomical Clock

The Old Town Hall is one of the most significant monuments in the Czech Republic. It was established in 1338 as the administrative seat for Prague's Old Town. Now, it is mainly used for the ceremonial purposes of the capital city, Prague. The historical town hall consists of a set of five medieval houses, the corner of which is adorned with a historical astronomical clock, a gothic oriel window and a massive rectangular tower. The lookout gallery on the town hall tower offers the most beautiful view of Prague. A tour of the historical halls in the Old Town Hall is a unique experience. The expensively decorated rooms date from various periods and are examples of the remarkable development of the town hall complex. The guided tours in various languages are organised in hourly intervals.

Absolutely LOVED this huge picturesque historical square and the wonderfully unique Astronomical clock, that does it's little music show for 2 minutes on the hour/every hour. Yes there are crowds but Prague is very popular - it's to be expected!! Get there early to see the 2 minute show for pictures/video, or eat at one of the restaurants that faces it (we recommend Cafe Mozart!!).

St Nicholas Church

The Church of St Nicholas in Lesser Town in Prague, the most famous Baroque church in Prague, stands along with the former Jesuit college in the centre of the Lesser Town Square. It represents a magnificent example of the "Prague Baroque" period of the 18th century. W.A. Mozart himself played the organ in this church!

Old Town Hall

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

Town Hall (Radnice)

Built between 1727-30, this baroque structure has four rooftop statues meant to symbolize the four virtues of the town's citizenry: Fairness, Wisdom, Caution and Bravery.

The old town square in Ceske Budejovice is unique beyond belief. One of the largest in Europe. When we were there there was a festival honoring their beer, with dancing all day. Wonderful!
