Two weeks after the uber-popular Museum night, the Night of churches is heading to the town. It brings a very interesting opportunity to explore churches in your neighborhood, including the parts that are closed for public for the rest of the year.

Almost all churches of Brno got a special programme for the evening of Friday, May 27. There will be concerts, guided tours (Czech only) and, maybe most interestingly, you’ll be able to observe Brno from the towers of St. Jacob’s church and Saints Cyril and Methodius’ church in Brno-Židenice (Gajdošova st.).

The event got a bit messy, Czech-only website. At least, you can read the machine-translated version.
