Brno offers a captivating mix of sights that reflect its rich heritage and youthful energy. Begin your journey at Špilberk Castle, perched on a hill overlooking the city. Once a royal fortress and later a notorious prison under the Habsburgs, today it houses the Brno City Museum and offers stunning panoramic views of the city.

Just below, you'll find the Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul, a striking Gothic landmark that dominates the skyline. Its towers, visible from nearly anywhere in Brno, are especially magical when lit up at night. Step inside to admire its beautiful interior and learn about the legend of the noon bells, which still ring at 11 a.m. in honor of a clever wartime ruse.

Explore the Labyrinth under Zelný trh (Vegetable Market), a network of historic cellars dating back to the Middle Ages. This underground world offers a glimpse into Brno’s past as a center of trade, where food was stored, wine aged, and history unfolded beneath the city streets.

For fans of modern architecture, Villa Tugendhat is a must-see. This UNESCO World Heritage site is a masterpiece of functionalist design by architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Its clean lines, open spaces, and original furnishings make it one of the most important examples of modernist architecture in Europe.

Don’t miss the Old Town Hall, home to Brno’s quirky symbols—the dragon (actually a crocodile) and the wheel. Nearby, you can enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of Freedom Square (Náměstí Svobody), the city’s vibrant central hub, filled with cafes, shops, and frequent cultural events.

Whether you’re drawn by its medieval roots or modern charm, Brno is full of discoveries waiting around every corner.
