What to do in Brno, combination of activities

 Combine it all type of activities together!

Want to be in nature but also want to be with people but also want to have a cup of good coffee and also want to discover something new… Yes, we know what you feel like so let's check what combinations we have pre-planned for you: 

  • Walk around Spilberk castle passing the church of saint Vaclav with golden dome + visit a nuclear bunker or see the view from the old town hall + get yourself coffee in Zahrada Ambrosia or Podnebí 

  • Combine it all Walk along Brno reservoir until Sinice bar where you can borrow a paddle and try paddleboarding. There is also a BBQ place free to use. 

  • Bring a slackline to Luzanky or come to practice yoga lessons. There is a Ponava restaurant/coffee/pub in the suburb of the park. 

  • Inside Björnson's orchard there is a workout playground where you can meet other fitness lovers and have a drink in a Piknik box. Piknik box sounds good but no exercise today? Well, then you can visit the biggest library in Brno Moravská zemská knihovna instead 

  • View and architecture lovers would definitely appreciate the area Černá pole. The streets are full of old villas. Take away coffee from Era to the arboretum of Mendel university where there is a spectacular view of Brno.

  • Masaryk quarter is another architectural gem. It's the area under Kraví hora where a park, a swimming pool and the observatory are located. Choose the one you will discover today.



Still getting bored? 

Few of us have spent in Brno several years during studies or working or have been even born here. So here are some tips from locals on what to do when you get bored.

Summer cinemas

The great thing about Czech cinemas is that movies are not used to be dubbed (except those for children). The most famous are summer cinemas

Usually, you have to pay for it but some of them are also gratis (e.g. those at planetarium Brno: www.hvezdarna.cz/? page_id=28

Open House

Markets, Second-hands 

Let's discover some original pieces of clothes, old books or something that is missing in your household at swaps or flea markets?

There is a most famous Flea market in Alfa pasáž: www.facebook.com/blesi.trhy.alfa.pasaz.brno/ or in Fleda: www.fleda.cz/ which is originally a party place.

Swap is used to be organized by Mladi info who also owns a library of things which you can borrow and give back after: www.mladiinfo.cz/knihovna-veci/.

You can also support local NGOs e.g. Veronica where you can shop online: www.facebook.com/groups/420868032261671 or wait for the event of Útulek Tibet who organises flea market 4 times per year in Brno: www.facebook.com/betka.utulektibet to support animals in their shelter or small entrepreneurs at local markets: www.mintmarket.cz/en/trhy.

If you are about to taste something extraordinary then maybe events like Africké trhy v Brně or market of coffee which usually repeats several times a year could be your kind of thing. On the main square in Brno - the square of Freedom there used to be some markets almost all the year but always dedicated to some special celebration - of Christmas, wine of saint Martin, Eastern, Summer chill, etc. there are always events published by Brno municipality: www.gotobrno.cz/en/events-in-brno.
