A Weekend in Brno- An Underrated Gem in Czech Republic., Brno, Czech Republic

What is the first thought of a travel destination when you think of Czech Republic? I guess most of you would say Prague. No wonder, it is the capital and a truly incredible and beautiful city. The fame though brings crowds of tourists, who want to experience it with their own eyes. In summer months the Charles bridge is so crowded, that walking through it seems like a challenge not to mention getting some freedom to enjoy the view. It can be frustrating and tiring.

I’ve noticed during recent years that Czech Republic is becoming more and more popular. Even though I lived all my childhood just on the other side of the border, I never visited it until a few years ago. This year, I decided to take my mum on a short trip to Brno, second biggest city in Czech Republic and in my opinion a place that deserves more attention that it’s getting. Maybe it does not have the Charles bridge or other so sought out attractions, but it has its charm, interesting architecture and cool places for a drink.

Brno welcomed us with sunny and hot weather. We could not complaint about that. It was just a perfect weather to stroll the streets of Brno. The weather however also stopped us from visiting museums and inside places, but as our visit was only two-day long, I think it was much nicer to just walk around and discover all the hidden corners…and there’s many. I obviously cannot write what to do or see in Brno, it is impossible to become an expert and give advice after such a speedy visit. I can however tell you what we have done and enjoyed very much and I am assure you that it is worth repeating. ...... (follow the instructions below for accessing the rest of this article).
