brno historic center

Well... it is strange but the Historic Center is equally very during gloomy winter days and in sunnier spring/summer days. The buildings retain their original rustic look and it is very convenient the fact that all cars are forbidden (at least the better part of the day) from going through it. There are many shops/stores/pubs/restaurants/caffes to cover every taste.

Czech's second largest city is a good size. Hilly so tricky if walking is a problem and set out over a large area. The historical area is currently being renovated but is worth seeing all the same. There are impressive churches and a fort. The shopping centre is very comprehensive with plenty to do.

Very clean and picturesque little centre. Great little Christmas market. Everything you'd need from a town centre. Lots of side streets off the main square with numerous charming little bars and restaurants.

The historic center is beautiful, full with history, stores, restaurants, entertainment, nice for walking and exploring. It has also great public transportation so it's easy to get around.

Dear All, Brno has a great historical center. There is a lot of attractions.Very nice view from the old city hall tower. In the nice weather you can see whole city and surroundings.In the Zelný trh square you can go underground which is after reconstruction. It is very interesting and nice place- full of history.Next to this squere is Kapucín´s crypt - great please with mumie.

We enjoyed walking around the center of Brno. It is a shame that it is not even mentioned in many travel books. The church was spectacular, and the old town is very well kept and charming. We are glad we spent a night there at the exceptional Grandezza Hotel.

With its wonderful churches and small streets, this second largest city in the Czech republic makes it the perfect stopover onway to Budapest. 2.5hrs from Prague, this place has a lot to offer. Great churches with unique interiors, beautiful streets enhance the charm of this wonderful city.

If Prague and those sites nearby do not satisfy your Czech tastes, then you may consider Brno for one day/night. The cozy town is the second largest city in CZ. It is rich in history at its center where the cathedral sits atop a hill. Nearby in the Monrovia region, you can find small villages with amazing local food and gems of 1000 year old history. I went in December and found it refreshing, easily affordable, and well worth 24 hours of my time. The warmer months may take me in a return visit.

Prague is bigger than Brno and therefore there are more things to see, but the Historic Center of Brno is nice as well. It is possible to walk around and see old buildings and nice stores.

Brno city centre can be visited easily in one or two days. Beautiful art noveau buildings, plenty of cafes and restaurants. Small enough to tour on foot.

We took the Student Agency bus from Vienna - very reasonable price - for a day trip to Brno in the Czech Republic. The old city centre looks great and very historic, but our day there was spoiled by driving rain and cold winds. However, that's hardly Brno's fault and we soldiered on as best we could.We visited St Peter's and St Paul's Cathedral, took in the Capucin Crypt and even wandered around the large shopping centre across the road from the main station. A word of warning - don't cough too loudly in the Cathedral - it's a beautiful building with hugely high ceilings and a tiny cough resounds like nobody's business!!We had looked forward to visiting the "Cabbage Market" in the City Centre, but unfortunately, the square was being dug up and renovated, so we missed any fruit & veg or Christmas market activity.Hubby is a train buff so took loads of photos in the main train station (from where we could also have travelled to and from Vienna) while I took shelter from the rain. We also jumped on a random tram in the city centre and travelled a few miles west of the city before taking the return tram in the same direction. Makes you wonder why we don't have more tram networks around the UK.We had lunch in a small deli - the lady serving us didn't speak much English, but more than we spoke Czech and we got what we wanted along with free WiFi. We also changed some Euros to Czech korunas in one of the numerous banks and were able to change them back to Euros before hopping on the bus back to Vienna.There is much more to see and do in Brno - perhaps we'll return to the Czech Republic some day nearer the summer months.

It's nice, clean and offers you a lot of different possibilities, concerning food, drinks, shoping or night life. Place to visit, if you are near, Christmas market is great as well.

I fell in love with this city during my first visit 5 years ago. For 1 and half year I lived there and I was just slowly exploring the "hidden places". And there is still a lot to explore. You can also find there a lot of great cafes, restaurants and bars. Enjoy!

A nice place with nice people very wellcome all of them. Many things to do at this town with a very good night life. You have to go...

CityCentre is really not very big. The Paul's and Peter's cathedral is worth seeing. You can also get scared in Kostjanice under ground Brno( excursion starts every 30 min). Lots of interesting pubs are all around, but cafes are not very popular here.
