Brno tips
Cultural
- Try Moravian wine: South Moravia is the Czech wine region; sample local whites in wine bars around the city.
- Say dobry den: Greet staff with a Czech hello when entering shops and restaurants.
- Visit Villa Tugendhat: This UNESCO-listed modernist villa is iconic; book tickets well ahead.
Local Hacks
- Go underground: Explore the ossuary at St James Church and the cellars under Zelny trh (Cabbage Market).
- Check the noon clock: The astronomical clock on Namesti Svobody drops a glass marble at 11am, a local legend linked to the Swedish siege.
- Join the coffee scene: Brno has a strong specialty coffee culture with many independent cafes.
Saving
- Eat the daily menu: Many restaurants offer a cheap weekday lunch menu, called denni menu, with soup and a main.
- Pay in koruna: Prices are in Czech crowns; decline dynamic currency conversion when paying by card.
- Buy a 24-hour ticket: If you plan several rides, a day ticket is cheaper than single fares.
Security
- Validate your ticket: Inspectors check often and fines are steep, so stamp paper tickets as soon as you board.
- Use official taxis or apps: Bolt and Uber operate in Brno and avoid inflated street taxi fares.
- Watch for pickpockets: Brno is safe, but keep an eye on bags around the main station and busy trams.
Transportation
- Ride the trams: Brno's IDS JMK trams and buses cover the city well; buy tickets at machines, by SMS, or tap a contactless card on board.
- Use night buses: After trams stop, night buses run from the hub near the main train station, Hlavni nadrazi.
- Arrive by train: Brno has fast rail links to Prague, Vienna and Bratislava, and the station is a short walk from the center.
Weather/Clothing
- Pack warm for winter: Winters are cold and often below freezing, so bring a heavy coat, hat and gloves.
- Expect warm summers: Summers can be hot, perfect for terraces and nearby lakes like the Brno Reservoir.
- Bring layers in spring and autumn: Temperatures swing between sunny days and chilly evenings.
