Traveling in Brno
Brno, Czech Republic
Brno is a city in the Czech Republic known for its modernist and baroque buildings, gardens, museums, and churches. There are many monuments and cultural features especially related to the city's Moravian history, like the Moravian Museum and Moravian Gallery. It is also uniquely located between a landscape of South Moravian Vineyards and northern Moravian Karst topography.
Neighborhoods & Around
The city center of Brno is very compact and full of historical buildings, old churches, theaters, fountains, sculptures, clubs, restaurants, and more. Freedom Square (or Nam?sti Svobody) is at the heart of central Brno, and is often a site for cultural events. Most of the city's attractions are located within a 10-minute walk from the square. Within the square itself is an astronomical clock and a seventeenth-century Baroque monastery known as the Capuchin Monastery (or Kapucinský klašter). Stretching from this historic area northward is a famous avenue known as Veveri Street (or Ulice Veve?i). It is host to a group of Art Nouveau buildings called Tivoli, a number of baroque and other beautiful historical buildings, and is nearby one of three botanical gardens in Brno. Not far from Freedom Square there is also Moravian Square, the largest square in the city, dominated by the Church of Saint Thomas.
Realistic Expectations for Your Travel Budget
It's important to set realistic expectations for your travel budget in Brno. While many think they can cut costs for many things, the reality is that most people won't enjoy such a low-budget experience. Consider your preferences and travel style. Do you like resorts, hotels, vacation rentals, or hostels? Are activities and dining out a big part of your travel plans? Your answers will shape your budget and itinerary.
Who are Budget Travelers?
You might think that you're a budget traveler. But unless you're willing to eliminate a lot of comforts from your trip, prepare to spend a lot more than the daily average of $79 that backpackers often get by on.
Young backpackers often get away with this shoestring budget, but it usually involves staying in hostel dorms, eating at the cheapest restaurants or fast food places, taking public transit or walking, and only visiting free attractions.
Thankfully, Brno offers plenty of hostels such as Hostel Eleven. You can find budget-friendly dorm accommodation here, paired with a social atmosphere, but expect limited amenities.
Could You Be an Average Traveler?
Couples and families on a fun trip will likely choose a mid-range hotel, enjoy meals at popular dining spots, and visit significant museums and attractions that have entry fees. When visiting Brno, most people will want to check out the major attractions, museums, and iconic landmarks. After all, most activities are not free. So, it's realistic to expect your actual daily budget to be about $199 per person, per day.
There are plenty of hotels and vacation rentals available in Brno. If you're traveling with companions, sharing a hotel with a partner, friend, or kids can help lower costs. Families should seek out hotels and dining options that are suitable for children. VV hotel & apartments is a wonderful family-friendly hotel, and Hotel Vaka is another excellent choice.
