Brno Attractions

Brno is the Czech Republic's second largest city after Prague. Brno and the surrounding area have a long history but unfortunately much what travelers will see today are modern concrete buildings from the Communist era, and twentieth century industrial areas. Despite Brno's first impression, the city does have a number of historical sites and attractions. Historically, this area was settled as far back as the 5th Century, although archeological finds indicated evidence of habitation by Cro-Magnon Man.

Some of the main attractions in Brno are the Spilberk Castle (Hrad Spilberk), which dates to the 13th Century, the Brno City Museum, and the Dietrichstein Palace (Dietrichsteinsky Palac).
