Brno has the castle, Gothic spires, beer halls and underground passages that people queue for in Prague, at lower prices and with far fewer tour groups. Špilberk Castle, the Cathedral of Sts Peter and Paul, the Ossuary of St James and the Labyrinth under the Cabbage Market are all in or beside the compact old town. Villa Tugendhat, Mies van der Rohe's UNESCO-listed house, is a short tram ride out; book it well ahead. FlixBus runs from Prague in about two hours from €5.48, and from Vienna airport in under two hours. A 24-hour city ticket costs 90 Kč.

Know before you go
Mistakes to avoid
- UK travel advice (updated 11 Aug 2026) warns of an on-the-spot fine of 1,000 Kč for travelling without a validated ticket. Validate paper tickets; tapping a bank card counts as validation.
- UK advice also warns of drink spiking and high consumption charges in nightclubs. Do not change money on the street, as notes are often counterfeit.
- Many Brno sights close on Mondays, and Villa Tugendhat interior tickets sell out early. Plan and book before you arrive.
Ways to spend less
- A 24-hour city ticket is 90 Kč, less than four single rides at 25 Kč.
- BRNOPAS gives free entry to the Ossuary and 30% off the Labyrinth.
- Villa Tugendhat's garden, Špilberk's park and the views from Petrov hill are free.
