| Page Views: 2,224 Last Visit to Brno: June, 1998 | Welcome to Brno, Czech Republic! by shrimp56 - last update: May 1, 2004 |
Brno is an industrial/commercial city with a beautiful, but under-renovated, historical core.
[ VT-ers have informed me that it has since been somewhat renovated. ]
.
It is in the part of Czech Republic called Moravia and is 2 hours from Vienna by train. There are several interesting museums, particulary the modern art and decorative arts ones and some charming old buildings as well as a rather confused cathedral, architecturally speaking.
.
It is also, unfortunately, a place where the Nazis imprisoned and killed many people during WWII.

I often think i should visit Brno (my father was born there when it was still Brun/Austria - the familiy left in 1937 and never went back) but i may continue to differ | Sexy_European Thu May 26, 2005 16:53 UTC
very good tip to take a bus from Prague to Brno! Thanks. | JetlagCity Tue Feb 1, 2005 00:36 UTC
I can deal with the gothic/baroque mix (found that a bit in Prague, too), but skinheads?? Yikes!!! | Nemorino Sat Jan 1, 2005 22:46 UTC
Much as I like trains, I think I could do without those announcements all night long. Glad you got a room on the town side the next time. -- Happy New Year and best wishes from Frankfurt. |
