The city
Brno combines Špilberk Castle, the Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul and the modern architecture of Villa Tugendhat. The hills help orient the central core. The Punkva caves, in the Moravian Karst, add a regional nature outing that requires planned entry and transport.

The local experience
Villa Tugendhat sits on a residential slope of Brno. Designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, the house is a landmark of modern architecture and part of the World Heritage. The relationship between interior spaces, glass and the garden explains the interest that goes beyond the discreet appearance seen from the street.
Špilberk occupies a hill close to Brno center, surrounded by park paths. The old castle brings together courtyards, museum spaces and references to its role as a fortress. The climb also helps to understand the position of the urban core around the elevation.
The Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul rises on the Petrov hill near the centre of Brno. Its pointed towers shape the city’s skyline. A visit makes it possible to relate the religious building to the surrounding streets and to the terraces that follow the upper part of the historic core.
The Punkva Caves are in the Moravian Karst north of Brno. The visit combines underground chambers with the Macocha abyss area and, depending on conditions, a boat section on the subterranean river. The outing requires arranging tickets and transport rather than being an improvised stop between towns.
