Introduction

Brno, the vibrant second city of the Czech Republic, is a hidden gem filled with history, creativity, and a relaxed local vibe. Known for its mix of modern design, Gothic architecture, and underground secrets, it’s a smaller, more authentic alternative to Prague.

Surrounded by hills and vineyards, Brno offers everything from cozy cafés and craft beer bars to striking landmarks like Špilberk Castle and the Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul. With a strong student population, the city buzzes with youthful energy and culture.

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY: Essential numbers to save In case of emergency in the Czech Republic, remember: 112 – European emergency number (ambulance, fire brigade, police). Free from any phone.
