republic a lot and I liked BRNO. The Castle is really use and has about 4
walls, it also takes something like 45 minutes to walk around it and was
built in the early 13th century. The castle is in the city center on top
of a hill and offers some really nice views of the countryside. There is
also a restaurant outside which looks not too greatly but offers great
food at very low prices. (Czechs make less than $380,- a month on average:
(Because of the huge rebuilding and investments going on, the Czech
republic is still a bit behind but modernizing very quickly. If you were
here a few years ago you will be surprised by the refurbishing that went
on. The easiest place to stay would be the best western hotel
international (not the cheapest) just across the street. Great restaurant
there if you like caviar and chateuneuf du pape at affordable prices. The
great thing about the Czech republic is that everything that looks old is
really old. (not like Germany were a lot had to be rebuilt after WW2,
sorry Germans) |

Spielberk was a destination and one of the few "tourist" things
to do in the city of Brno. Steep walk to the top and a small admission fee
to take a self-guided (in English) tour of the former prison cells from
olden times and few remnants of the local Nazi headquarters in World War
II. Not terribly interesting but if we had skipped it....and the
surrounding park also provided nice views of the city. |
