Although the castle itself is not worth visiting, but the castle ground and surrounding is just breathtakingly beautiful. It is a perfect morning walk around the park, plenty of places to sit, there are view points almost every few steps, so get your camera ready. The ground and park is so well maintained and clean, while I was there I really relaxed and forgot about all the noise from the city. Perfect for a relaxing stroll.

Summary and caveats: not great for kids. Great for adults *if* you like 20th century art and/or photography, or early-to-late modern artifacts like old weapons, furniture, clothing, etc. Also, skip the first floor of the museum entirely, it was really not worth the time. We spent several hours wandering through the museum and prison. The museum was delightful, aside from the first floor which is basically a tedious collection of historical illustrations with poorly translated explanations in English. Every other floor made up for it, especially the modern art exhibit. The prison was arguably something you could skip, though I personally enjoyed walking through the long dark spaces and reading about what transpired there. If you are short on time, it's very reasonable to cut the prison from your tour.

Pretty nice castle on the hill. I haven't bought tickets for the museum but I've gone around the whole castle and could see a beautiful view from the top of the hill. Also toilets are clean and free.

Historical place worth to see. Casemates, museum, tower, walls, beautiful view of the city.

Great sightseeing spot to go to. It is right next to multiple sightseeing spots. On the top there is a bar with great bartender and the drinks are really nice. Right under the Castle is an nuclear fallout shelter also worth seeing. We did not get s tour but the public areas around the castle are really beautiful.

City’s big attractions aren’t appealing to me, but I’m so glad I walked up the hill to the Spilberk Castle. Don’t pay to go inside. Simply walk the trails finding views of Brno, waterfalls, and sculptures. Then walk into the castle’s courtyard and around to see the moat and more views of the city.

The view from the castle is amazing, and free. There's also several very cheap guided tour options that allow you to enter the cast buildings. I did the "History of the Castle" tour, which I found very interesting. The tour was in Czech, but we were provided an English guidebook and our guide was also very happy to answer questions in English afterwards. Included in our ticket was entry to an art gallery that is part of the Castle, which also gave a cool overview of some of the history of Czech art, especially in Brno.

Traditional and astonishingly BEAUTIFUL asset of Czechia. There is no better place than here to have eagle eye view of Prague 😍

This location makes a great hike and a couple of hours of walking around the castle ground. The view is great from all sides and you can even get lunch up there. Would recommend as it's free

Nice place for a family walk with a beautiful view of the whole city😊. From time to time there are some events organized there like the Witch burning event on the 30th of April that we were able to attend. There was a great opportunity to grill, try local Czech wine&beer and see the huge bonfire.

Very pleasant place, 15-20 minutes walk from the central square. Entrance is free, entrance to the museum is paid. A concert of acoustic classical music was held in the small square (atrium). A very pleasant visit.

The outside of the castle and the park surrounding it are gorgeous. The inside of the castle is really nothing too special, but still good to see, especially with a tour guide.

Great variety of exhibitions for the fare price of muzeum ticket. I was surprised and very enjoyed the muzeum on a rainy day. This castle is much better than Karlstein! I learned a lot of information and history, enjoyed the pictures and art, saw the prison and more. I highly recommend to spend here 1.5-2 h. It is worth visiting.

If you like castles, I definitely recommend visiting Špilberk! It is a huge castle with a lot of exhibitions, ranging from the makings of the castle over its history as a prison up to modern-day Brno. There is art and sculptures, you can see old parts of the walls and castle, there are interactive exhibitions for kids, rooms showing how the prisoners lived and torture methods, and much more. It includes the MMB Museum, the Tower and the Royal Chapel, the Treasures of Armoury, the underground water tanks and the casemates. You have to buy all the tickets individually. I bought one for the Museum, the Armoury and the Tower and Chapel and paid around 15€. Sadly, the water tanks were closed at the time I visited the castle. How much time should you plan: A whole day if you want to see everything the castle has to offer 3+ hours for the exhibitions in the Museum 20 min for the Treasures of Armoury 30-40 min for the Tower and Chapel What I would have liked to be done differently: All the rooms with exhibitions in the museum have detailed info panels in Czech. The translations for tourists are found in booklets hanging on walls or given out by the staff. The booklets only cover an overview of the parts that are exhibited. They are not detailed and for some things, there is no translation at all. You have to translate it yourself if you want to know more. Some of the signs for orientation were only in Czech, too. The booklets are in English and German, only in some rooms they were in French (if I am not mistaken) and only in the Treasures of Armoury I found an italian translation. The quality of translation could be better, the English was good, some of the German (in the Armoury) was pretty bad and the sentences didn't make sense, otherwise it was okay. It would also be very helpful if the castle could offer an estimation of time for the average stay. There is a Bistro outside of the castle. The park around it is beautiful, especially in autumn and ideal for walks. The view is stunning, you can see the whole city of Brno and the mountains around it. It is definitely worth a visit, but plan your time accordingly.

Amazing Castle, most beautiful view The art displayed around the castle grounds does not go well with the style of the castle (plus it looks disturbing) Service in the bar/restaurant is typical for Europe, long waiting time and if you don't call them to your table, you won't get served

Very beautiful place to stroll around and admire the entire city of Brno.

Known locally as Petrov, the Catholic Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul has a Gothic architecture and Baroque interior. What’s fascinating is that the bells are rung at 11 o’clock instead of 12. Legend has it that in 1645, after months of continuous fighting, the Swedish forces had set themselves a limit to conquer Brno by noon on the 15th of August. Some clever locals and spies changed the course of the Thirty Years War by ringing the bells one hour before noon. In consequence, the Swedish army retreated.

The cathedral looks the best from the outside. Inside it's just a generic catholic temple. The view point is also not the best (two little balconies on the opposite sides) but it has a very low price, so I shouldn't complain. One special thing I saw which isn't often in christian temples is that between balconies, you go through the space which is between the ceiling and the roof of the cathedral.

Beautiful cathedral - hard to get a sense of the scale because it has other large buildings right beside it

This cathedral has very beautiful style. I saw it during my holidays in Brno. Inside the cathedral there's a lot of ornaments to look at. The most interesting building in Brno Old Town.

Architecture of the cathedral is really stunning. I only wonder about senseless parking near this (not only) cultural momument.

During our visit to Brno, my wife and I also saw St. Paul's Cathedral, which stands on Peter's Hill and draws attention to itself with all its might. We were also happy to see it inside.

A beautiful cathedral which is free but if you go to the other side of the building you can go up and see the view from top. If I remember correctly the ticket was 60 krona which is almost £2. You can find a free toilet close to the cathedral but not inside.

After eastern France and the Wallone area of Belgium, I can't get enough of the churches in Czechia. They have all been so amazing and this one does not disappoint. It is beautiful, peaceful and a great walk up a hill. You can climb the tower too but I didn't have enough time. It is worth the walk up the hill to enjoy the peace

The cathedral dominates the view of the city. The gothic structure has some very old ‘original’ gothic features in the choir. The interior is well preserved and you can feel that it is an active church as well. It is surrounded with terraces and some give a nice view of the surroundings. You can visit the tower as well. Some interesting features are the marble pulpit and the Holy Virgin statue inside, and the rather rare stone pulpit outside.

Really nice chatedrale and if you have time it's worth seeing. There is a chance to go to the tower or the beel or somewere the the top I think with of course some ticket. I didn't went to the top but I imagine the view can be amazing no the city of Brno.

Spectacular. Stained glass and large original oil paintings cover the walls.

This is a Roman Catholic cathedral located on Petrov Hill in the Brno. The current cathedral was built in the Gothic style in the 13th and 14th centuries, and was later modified in the Baroque style in the 18th century. This church is a popular tourist attraction.

A beautiful cathedral in Brno. You can see this throughout the entire city. Majestic sitting up on the hill top. Beautiful inside as well. We really enjoyed our visit.

Brno doesn’t have many tourist destinations but one of the most popular ones amongst them is the St. Peter and Paul cathedral. It is hard to miss when one is arriving at the city centre as it overlooks almost the entire city. It is easily accessible via tram and if you’re willing to take up an adventure, then hiking from Hlavni Nadrazi is also an option. It is very picturesque and isn’t overcrowded at all. Most importantly, it has free WC available in its premises.

Beautiful cathedral, free entrance, sometimes there is a choir or church band rehearsal and they are singing quite nice, acoustics are incredible.

A beautiful cathedral - more from the outside than the inside in my opinion, but still 100% worth the visit. The entry is free, you can then pay two euro to be able to climb to the tower. For a toilet you need to climb down the stairs outside and there's s free one.

It's a very beautiful place, you can see the whole city in the tower. Maybe the balcony at the top of the tower is small, when the bell rang, I almost jumped down :D

Biggest cathedral in Brno. Beautiful stained glass and sculptures. Gothic architecture.

Nice place to visit and especially in the sunny and spring time but not in raining period.

The most beautiful Christmas spot in the city, here you can see the tree all lit up and find a good Christmas market where you can have a plethora of different food and drink mulled wine in the wintertime. The tree inaugurates by the last week of November and it goes up until the end of December. at the Christmas market, you can also get handcrafted items such as necklaces spices and others like cookie cutters, for example

Large square in heart of Brno’s old town We visited and got to see the Easter market

Beautuful city square. Sorrounded by restaurant, bars, shops, fastfood, grocery store, clubs etc. Always hype with different functions. Lovely free chairs to relax in summer🙂

liegt im zentum sehr schön gebäude (Translated by Google) lies in the center very nice building

Very beautiful place to go when in town. Nice sculptures, buildings and very good feel overall.

I love the irregular shape of this square, which is caused also by the church which stood long time ago in the middle. Also the tram going through the pedestrian zone is not common in Czechia. And the Christmas markets are great with many others nearby.

A lovely square in Brno, even lovelier in winter with the large, authentic Christmas market.

The heart of Brno ⛲ and its famous clock 😉

Freedom Square is a very nice square in Brno , located in the hart of the old city , it has three main land mark , 1- Plague Column memorial . 2- Time machine or Town Clock. 3- Skácel's Fountain. There are some historical buildings around the square.

Very pleasant ti visit, easy shopping and dinning.

A lovely big town plaza! Great for a walk and a photo! 10/10.

Very beautiful square where lots of shops and cafes are located. The chronograph is also an interesting object placed at the corner of the square.

A lovely area bustling with shops, restaurants and amazing buildings and architecture. If your going to Brno you will definitely enjoy some of your time walking around marvelling at the unique buildings, as well as chilling at the restaurants and bars to eat and drink.

Beautiful and vibrant place of Brno where many shops, cafes and sights are located.

Der Freiheitsplatz in Krakau ist einer der größten und bekanntesten Plätze der Stadt. Er liegt im Zentrum der Altstadt und ist umgeben von historischen Gebäuden, Denkmälern und Museen. Der Platz wurde im 13. Jahrhundert angelegt und war ursprünglich ein Marktplatz. Im Laufe der Zeit wurde er mehrmals umgestaltet und erhielt seinen heutigen Namen nach dem Ende des Ersten Weltkriegs. Heute ist der Freiheitsplatz ein beliebter Treffpunkt für Einheimische und Touristen, die die Atmosphäre und die Sehenswürdigkeiten genießen können. (Translated by Google) Freedom Square in Krakow is one of the largest and most famous squares in the city. It is located in the center of the old town and is surrounded by historical buildings, monuments and museums. The square was laid out in the 13th century and was originally a market place. Over time it was redesigned several times and received its current name after the end of the First World War. Today, Freedom Square is a popular meeting place for locals and tourists to enjoy the atmosphere and sights.

Fantastic open boulevard to have a walk in the centre of town, enjoy a coffee or even a lunch in the surrounding cafes and bars, under the shadows of trees. Check out what it looks like in a good weather.

Wir waren am Weihnachtsmarkt dort , sehr schön , es ist besser nicht am Wochenende zu kommen/sehr viele Leute unterwegs. Preise sind in Ordnung. Brno ist ein schönes Stadt. (Translated by Google) We were there at the Christmas market, very nice, it's better not to come on the weekend/there are a lot of people out and about. Prices are okay. Brno is a beautiful city.

It was really a great experience to see the Villa Tugendhat. At 100 years old the design and technical solutions are still amazing and superior to many modern buildings. It survived Nazi occupation and looting, the Soviets using it for stables (because why not) and communist mismanagement and it still beautiful today. The architect Ludwig Mies really created a gem here

Very interesting spot to visit in Brno. It is fascinating how modern this mansion has been designed back in this time. The entrance is not cheap and the ticket buying process quite complicated. But I would recommend this spot for tourists.

Masterpiece. Definitely worth visiting. You need to purchase tickets in advance. They are available via official website. It's fairly cheap. Photography is allowed only with special permit available at the ticket office. You can get there via public transport or by car. You can park in the nearby streets for free during workdays 6 - 17.

If you like architecture, this is a must. Tickets must be bought in advance. You will need an extra ticket to take 📸. There is parking close by.

Actually nothing special as for unesco and what we expected. That’s a scandal that you need to book tickets more then 3 months even if you may see half of the living room through the windows. But that’s how it is when there is no more unesco heritage in the neighbourhood . Nice garden but also nothing wow. Disappointed.

The villa is certainly fascinating and an architectural treasure, but there are places in Brno that are definitely worth s visit more. You have to book s tour many weeks in advance, plus the tickets are really overpriced. You can visit the garden for free and just roam around.

In my unprofessional opinion, a visit to the villa is a must if you are in the vicinity of Brno and have even slightest interest in architecture or interior design. The villa certainly deserves the reputation it has. I think it is a phenomenal achievement in 1930s architecture that can easily 'compete' with the modern architecture of individual houses today.

This villa is a masterpiece, but not everybody can appreciate it. Come visit it if you like function over decorations, simplicity and beauty of mass - stone, wood, metal. It's amazing given the times when it was built and also how fast they did it. And a sad story of owners, who were not able to enjoy this house for too long after it was done. I see many bad reviews here are based on the fact people don't know that YOU MUST BOOK YOUR TICKET IN ADVANCE, so please do it 😉

Stunning. Absolutely amazing experience. Buy tickets a few months in advance or buy Brnopass with vila entrance.

Didn't have time for a tour, but the grounds were open for few pictures. Maybe next time...

Guide was excellent and the amount of technical advances in this 1930s house was absolutely amazing full wall windows that go down into the basement for a full opening and an onyx wall that lets the light come through it as well as the hvac system just amazing

The exterior and garden are open to the public, and well worth a look. The tour of the inside is insightful - the house was a couple of decades ahead of its time in a lot of ways, and the guides shared both a lot of history and architectural details.

This is unique experience! You have to book your tickets in advance, long time before your visit.

An example of the creative genius of one of the fathers of modern architecture. We visited the outside because it's really hard to get tickets for the full tour. You must book at least 2 months in advance.

The villa is inconspicuous in a residential area. If you want to visit the villa, you have to reserve tickets online in advance.You cannot enter the villa without a reservation. You can visit the garden and two exhibition rooms for free. Thats it. The entrance fees are very high. The staff is very nice and friendly.

Really nice guide, worth the money, tho I would though ticket selling for such a price would include an option to take pictures also indoors. You have to buy extra ticket for that which costs like 300 czk. Other than that beautiful and amazing to finally know the story behind that place.

It's hard to imagine that a building designed and built in 1930 could be more modern and imaginative than many of the modern buildings today! The free-flowing space is perfectly reflected here! Plus the guide tour was very informative, totally recommend！👍

Really nice zoo, spacious. Not very crowded because I have been there off season. Unfortunately off season there aren't many food stands open (which is understandable) But at least the food place at the very top by the giraffes and zebras was open with some food on their menu (hot dog, fries and fried cheese or chicken,...)

Great animals. They have baby llama now. Beware though, the zoo is on the slope so it gets a bit more tiring to move around. There is a car-train that rides to the top though.

I think, if you want to see animals in the open, you must go in spring. In February there is not so much "attractions" Many place is closed. It's more like a hiking garden. I think in the spring is way better. But the zoo is arranged, you can take a big walk there. The Exorarium (or something) and the Tropical place is wonderful. Maybe the owner could replace parts of some terrariums/glass surfaces, because they are cracked in several places.

A very nice zoo. The animals are in a very good condition, glass walls and low fences make the impression that you're closer to them. In some places it seems more like a park or walk in the woods, what makes it very pleasant.

Nice park, fun for kids, with many activities but most of them are not free. you need to have cash because they don't use cards for food kiosks. It contains many animals from all over the world. I felt the deer, polar bear and seal section could have been better planned.

It is very nice and educational, the animals exhibitions look big and properly done. Most of the zoo is covered by shade and there are many playgrounds for the kids.

The zoo just seemed super sad. Partly it can be because of the season as we visited in November, but I think even off the main season, the facilities should be open. All of the stands were closed, and I guess one restaurant was open. The enclosures are small and really old looking. If you want to visit a modern zoo with incredible conditions for the animals, skip this zoo and visit the Prague one, it's really worth it.

A very large zoo. Entrance fee was approx 6eur. Be prepared for quite a lot of uphill walking. Overall very recommended.

Access to the zoo is easy,by bus or car and there is a small parking lot in front of the entrance. Entrance fee is 150 czk /adult. You can pay by card or cash. All areas were very clean . There are many coffee and snack stands , restaurant,wc and playground areas for children. The only thing I would like to mention as negative, is the cracked glass walls around the cages of the tigers. I hope these glass walls will be replaced soon.

Nicely done expositions but lack of animals. But that could be caused by season, visites in October. What was a problem was lack of services, there were only 2 restaurants opened and food choices were very limited. Also some of the children attractions were closed. That is the pitty, these are small things putting down otherwise lovely experience.

We came here with Brno pass, difficult to enter as cashier didn't speak English and didn't want to accept our brno pass. The zoo is not very maintained comparing with other zoos I just visited in Europe. There were almost no staff around, the map was a drawing in the local langauge so we had to try to figure out the small picture that was given to us how to explore. The zoo is big and has many paths so you will end up losing more time going back and forth trying to find your way not miss the animals, hence we lost 3 hours and still didn't managed to see a quarter of the animals as it was impossible to figure out where to go. The animals here seemed depressed and you couldn't interact with any of them as like the zoo in Salzburg where you could feed the bunnies and pet the red panda etc. Here the red panda was very far away in the forest and you couldn't even get close to their places. Also they use a lot of cages with electric shock and very small places. I have been in may zoos but here you could tell there is animal abuse. I would reccomend the one in salzburg for those who want to interact with animals.

Shops and restaurants closed, dogsh#t everywhere, cracked safety glasses (felt very unsafe especially lion enclosure), animals looked not happy at all and lot's of empty enclosures. Not recommended at all. Only positive what I can say is there is plenty of toilets free of charge.

Really nice ZOO, be prepared for uphill and downhill walking. Also check parking places because there is virtually no parking space directly in front of entrance. Generally really pleasant trip also with kids.

Very nice zoo with a good variety in animals. Nice layout too, but it is quite the hike up the hill, however there's a train that you can get on to get up the hill if you're not up for the walk

A nice Zoo, decent variety of animals, although one can still feel the communists architecture vibes from most enclosures. Definitely better than Zlín, not nearly as great as Prague.

Nice ZOO, quite large, with various kinds of animals. Sometimes the terrain is difficult & a bit chaotic. Also, quite a few pavilions were under construction or closed. Area can look a bit uncared for. We couldn’t find a sea lion either. There are many places offered to park your car for free but it is usually occupied, especially the one right in-front of the entrance which is like for 18 cars only. However, overall we had a nice experience and spent a very nice time here. :-)

Altes Rathaus (Stará radnice) - hier fanden die Ratssitzungen zwischen 1343 und 1935 statt. Das berühmte Portal stammt von Anton Pilgram. Der markante Rathausturm kann bestiegen werden und bietet einen wundervollen Ausblick auf Brünn. (Translated by Google) Old Town Hall (Stará radnice) - this is where the council meetings took place between 1343 and 1935. The famous portal comes from Anton Pilgram. The striking town hall tower can be climbed and offers a wonderful view of Brno.

Awesome city view. If you are Czech, there are interesting historic photos and informations

Nice view. They also have English explanations for everything

A certain place to be visited. The view from above gives a great view of Brno. Climbing the steps is not difficult.

It 's so beautiful city Romantic architecture, lovely people, and a very livable city.

You can visit some of the rooms for free and need to pay to go to the tower. The interior is nice, though it's probably not one of the top attractions in the city. The crocodile there is certainly an icon, and the tourist information office is great with very nice staff and helpful info.

Super friendly info center! Love how Brno city booklets are so well designed! Kudos for that! Would just go to check out the good graphic design!

The Brno Dragon and Brno Wheel are well-known symbols of the city and are linked with several legends. You can only see them with your own eyes in the building of the former Town Hall in the Moravian Capital near to Zelný trh. It will surprise you to learn that it was a crocodile which the people of Brno thought to be a fairytale dragon. The Gothic gateway, which you enter the building by, is also worthy of your attention. It is as if the famous builder Anton Pilgram was making fun of Gothic art by allowing the decorated middle turret (technically an obelisk) to create the illusion of it falling on people passing underneath. Inside the building, you can visit a gallery and historical halls as well as climb the 63m tower with Renaissance roofs.

Here for the 'dragon' and wasn't disappointed! Love how it wears a sweater and even has a flame 🔥 such a creative idea! Unfortunately, the information center was closed when I visited at midday. Maybe it is still during the holiday break.

Das Alte Rathaus mit seinem markanten Rathausturm ist eines der ältesten und bekanntesten Gebäude in der Altstadt der mährischen Stadt Brünn. Berühmt ist es für den Brünner Drachen, der sich im Durchgang zum Innenhof befindet. Aus Platzgründen befindet sich die Verwaltung der Stadt Brünn seit 1935 im neuen Rathaus. Derzeit ist das Alte Rathaus ein Kultur- und Informationszentrum. (Translated by Google) The Old Town Hall with its striking town hall tower is one of the oldest and most famous buildings in the old town of the Moravian city of Brno. It is famous for the Brno dragon, which is located in the passage to the inner courtyard. For reasons of space, the administration of the city of Brno has been located in the new town hall since 1935. The Old Town Hall is currently a cultural and information center.

alte Rathaus ist sehr schön die Damen an der Rezeption sind sehr freundlich (Translated by Google) old town hall is very beautiful the ladies at reception are very friendly

Thw information center inside is super awesome the guides are great tool tonsee the city.

Once a year, I always climb to the top of the tower with a mulled wine and a chance to see the Zelnak Christmas Market from above.

Tremendous view. You can see 360 view of Prague for £3 about 150 steps to climb and some interesting historical info on the way up. We went just as it opened at 20am Sunday and it was quiet. Recommend timing your visit so you can hear the Bell eg on the hour

Tickets can be purchased immediately at the box office. They are pretty cheap. The views are quite beautiful. You can see the city center well. Definitely recommend to visit
