Brno, you’ll find, has a penchant for odd monuments. A popular meeting spot is the ASTRONOMICAL CLOCK in Náměstí Svobody square — a futuristic, phallic sculpture out of which a glass marble pops each day at 11am. Another eye-catching flourish is the bronze STATUE OF THE KNIGHT, featuring Jobst of Moravia astride a 25ft tall giraffe-like steed in Moravian Square. Sights like these can be admired on a walking tour booked through the tourism office.
Below its charming array of ornate churches and towers, the historic centre has a secret, subterranean kingdom with a sinister history. Beneath the Zelný trh — or Cabbage Market — is a labyrinth of former torture chambers and dusty cellars, and even a pub, all of which can be toured with a costumed guide. Brno also boasts Europe’s second-largest OSSUARY after Paris — visit the installation under Church of St James for a spooky display of bones. And at 10-7 BUNKER, grab a map and start exploring the fascinating tunnels and anterooms of a former Cold War-era nuclear fallout shelter, which was classified as ‘Top Secret’ by the military until as recently as 1993. It also offers overnight rooms, tucked away in the depths of the bunker.
No visit to the city would be complete without a leisurely rummage through the edible produce and flower stalls of the CABBAGE MARKET, which has been in trading since the 13th century and is open from spring to autumn, Monday to Saturday. Don’t miss BOŽSKÝ KOPEČEK, which sells vegan ice cream, and DOBROKÁVA, a coffee maker that will exchange a flat white for a good deed.
When it comes to restaurants, Brno is having a boom. Over the past decade, talent and investment has returned to the city, and the very best eateries can be scouted out with the help of stylish annual pocket guide GOURMET BRNO. Not sure where to start? Last year, CASTELLANA TRATTORIA was lauded for its hedonistic Italian fare and extensive wine list, while intimate courtyard bistro ATELIER COCKTAIL BAR & BISTRO won for its creative farm-to-table approach.

Brewing its own craft beer, this place is magic in winter when its tiny interior is packed out; in summer, its beer garden extends over the whole park surrounding Špilberk Castle. I love its beer, Šalina — it’s the same name we give our city trams.
Atelier Cocktail Bar & Bistro
Atelier is definitely the place to eat if you want to know the definition of ‘contemporary yet traditional’. Here, perfection lies in simplicity — you win no matter what you choose, wine or cocktails.

At this (almost) 24-hour bar, enjoy a crafted cocktail based on homemade ingredients, grab a bite to eat, or swing by in the morning for the eggs benedict with a glass of champagne. Ask the staff for suggestions, too — if there’s anything happening in the city, they’ll know about it.
