Brno a city of art & culture
We could make a long list of theaters, museums, galleries or cinemas but Expat Brno and Brno municipality has already made it in advance:
Every time you have a chance, pass Janaček theater because there will be a different water picture created in the fountain in front of that theatre for sure.
But here are also some more alternative and hidden places for you:
Industra - It is a place of art, design, technology and a great coffee. Many times there are Prague theaters hosted or charity bazaars of secondhand stuff organized to support animal shelters.
Art. Bar 2. Pád - It is a heavenly combination of art and sipping. International DJ of electronic and alternative music comes to this underground space which offers an excellent alcoholic drink “Zazvorodka” from their own production.
Tři ocásci - It could be described as anarchist, authentic, feminist, ecological, social, vegan, fairtrade, bio, local, seasonal and hate-free space. They organize many events supporting human rights and nature also in English!
Expedition club Brno - Is home not only for travelers. It is difficult to label this place. The great is that you can come even alone, you can meet a lot of relaxed and open minded people here. Here used to be English workshops or meetups.
Vegalite - In Vegalite they brew four of their own beers and in the evenings’ hundreds of bands from the independent world D.I.Y. scenes regularly play here. A similar atmosphere you can meet in Bajkazyl Brno which has not only a space for culture and a bar that is open to everyone but also a unique cycling workshop.
Cinema Scala - Art or Lucerna offer you an extraordinary experience of non-mainstream movies or festivals e.g. La Película or French movies festival.
Impact hub Brno - Is a base of all startups and business ideas. You can even take advantage of their shared offices if you are bored with the home office. Let them inspire you by the wide offer of workshops, talks, or meetups. It's a place of personal growth.
Sculptures of Brno - Who wouldn't know Jošta on a high horse, Brno Dragon, or black bullet on the square of Freedom. But there are many more to see. For example the Indecent Little Man on the Church of St. James, the Samurai of Brno, or the 11-Year-Old Mozart Statue.
A walk along the Svitava river leads along an old industrial area that is surrounded by walls full of graffiti. You can stop by in Brno Bronx which is these days transforming into a place full of street art, have a coffee in Cafe Ghetto, or visit an old penitentiary “Káznice” where politician prisoners were held during the communist era in Czechoslovakia.
As Walter Savage Landor (English writer and poet) said “Nothing is pleasanter than exploring a library” and we have to agree. If you count yourself as a bookshelves maniac check this website: www.brnoexpatcentre.eu/im-an-expat/libraries/. There used to be also second-hand book markets in the Vegetable market in Brno: www.facebook.com/KnizniTrhy
