Unusual history
Whether ancient or modern, Brno has stories to tell. The Capuchin crypt is home to the naturally mummified remains of scores of people from Brno’s history, from military leaders to mayors and, naturally, Capuchin monks. Leaning over and staring into eyes that have seen nothing for 400 years is unnerving, to say the least
Looking for something even more sinister? The 10-Z nuclear fallout shelter on Husová is the place to be. Buried deep in the hillside under Špilberk castle, it was where a select few people would have been allowed to retreat to in the event of nuclear war. Now it’s open to the public, you can put on a guard’s uniform, grab a gas mask and discover just what could have been…
Going out?
Brno is a center for food, drink, arts, music and the like, so no matter what night of the week, you’ll find something going on
There’s been a foodie revolution over the last few years. Brno is home to some of the best street food, burger kitchens, classic Czech cuisine, Vietnamese places, vegetarian and vegan restaurants, bistros, cocktail bars and coffee shops the Czech Republic has to offer
For after-dinner entertainment, there’s a host of independent cinemas showing the latest releases, ‘60s classics, documentaries and more; theater groups, both local students and international actors; music venues ranging from vast halls to tiny back rooms of pubs; bars with programs including everything from pub quizzes to stand-up comedy and open mic nights… you name it, you’ll find it here
Outside the city
If you’re here for longer, you’ll want to explore the surrounding area, and it doesn’t disappoint. There are a number of Unesco World Heritage sites dotted around Brno, all easily accessible
Spreading across almost 300 sq km, the Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape is a collection of chateaus, vineyards, castles, nature reserves, forests, ponds and lakes, and is one of the most gently beautiful landscapes in Central Europe
The difficult-to-pronounce town of Kroměříž is where you can find a mighty Baroque palace dating from 1664. The crowning glory of the palace is the Pleasure Gardens, very rare and very beautiful examples of the art of the garden. Walk through the rose gardens and orchards, between ponds and fountains, rotundas and sculptures
For adventure, try the Moravský kras, a network of caves to the north-east of Brno. It’s easily accessible by hopping on a train to the nearby town of Blansko, around 25 minutes away, and then taking the Krasobus into the hills. Jump on the boat and take a trip on the underground rivers in the cool and dark as an escape from the summer heat
