Great news not only for backpackers: Wizzair is going to launch a new line, connecting Brno-Tuřandy with Rome-Fiumicino. The first cheap flight takes place in March.

In the same month, Czech Connect Airlines will launch a line between Brno and Saint Petersburg in Russia.

Visiting two of the most beautiful cities of Europe will be much easier for the people living in Brno. At the same time, Moravia is going to be more approachable for Italians and Russians, so this is a win-win.

Hello,

There’s also a new line between Brno and Alicante (Eastern Spain, in the Mediterranean sea) starting the 16th of April.
