Top things to do and see in Brno

One of the highlights of this city is the old town. Your Brno car hire is the perfect way to get around and see all of the sights. But the Old Town Hall is a particular favourite for locals and tourists. If you arrive after dark, then the main turret is illuminated, giving you that perfect shot to remember this glorious city by. If you look closely, it does appear to have somewhat of a lean. Not quite the Leaning Tower of Pisa, but remarkable all the same. While you are there, the Old Town has many other things to offer so plan to spend a little time there – food, drink and shopping aplenty!

While we’re looking at the historical side of the city, did you know that the man known as the godfather of genetics lived here? Gregor Mendel was a resident of the city, and the museum linked to his name sits on the edge of the place. A short drive in your Brno car hire, nonetheless. In the summer, you can walk the grounds of the museum, taking in the beauty. In the winter you might prefer to spend more time indoors, learning abut the life of this amazing man.

As a historic city, we couldn’t finish this list without mentioning Spilberk Castle. Standing resplendent on a hilltop, as many castles do, this overlooks much of the city.

And to go with the castle, the museum here tells the story of this battle and the rest of the history of this pretty building. You’ll learn this was also a prison at times during its history. Interesting stuff.

Now this city might be a mouthful to pronounce, but it is filled with things to do and see. And your Ceske Budejovice rental car is the best way to fit them all in. The Black Tower sounds and looks as though it comes straight out of a mystery novel. It looks beautiful by day, stunning by night. We’d suggest you go visit at both these times to see the tower in all it’s glory. It is nearly 500 years old and when you get to the top, the views are breath-taking.
