Valentine’s day special: the most romantic places in Brno

If you want to surprise your partner with a romantic date, there are the places to go:

Denis gardens (“Denisovy sady”) (map)

You can always find an empty bench near the old column at the top of the hill.

Spring at Petrov

The park surrounding the iconic cathedral of St. Peter and Paul were completely restored 5 years ago and their design won the Grand Prix of Czech architects. You can enjoy many benches and beautiful views of the town. The place has been safe even at night since the instalation of several closed circuit cameras (remember that this is definitely not the right spot for public sex).

This is the destination #1 for dating pairs, especially during spring and summer.

Park around the Špilberk castle (map)

The castle of Brno is surrounded by a big English garden. Contrary to the Denis gardens, you can get some privacy in here. My favorite place is the western side of the hill, with a romantic artificial lake and an old-fashioned garden house.

A quarry at Hády (map)

When the weather is nice, you can see whole Brno from this place.

One of the many messages of love written with 20lbs+ stones.

This place is dangerous. Several young people have died here during the last 10 years, as they had fallen down from the top of the quarry.

However, it is still worth of – careful – visiting, because young people of Brno use the abandoned quarry to write giant love messages with stones. A wonderful tradition.

Veveří castle in winter. Did you know that Winston Churchil had stopped by there during his honeymoon?

I recommend visting this place during the warmer parts of the year – you can walk down the banks, drink lemonade or beer in some of the many beer gardens and, of course, sail on a boat.

Park at Kraví hora (map)

There is a nice place for dating next to the terminal of tram n. 4. The small but neat park is ideal for sunbathing in summer or sledding in winter.
