Best of Brno

Places to see, things to do, restaurants to dine at in Brno.

Sledding

3 great places for sledding

January 13, 2010

Brno is covered with snow, so let’s have some fun with sleds!

Beer

10 pubs with the best beer of 2009

December 28, 2009

Here is my personal choice of the restaurants, pubs and bars with best draught beers that you definitely should try out!

Kraví hora

The best swimming pool in Brno: Kraví hora

October 3, 2009

Sadly, there’s only one really recommendable, modern swimming pool in Brno — the one located at Kraví hora, in quarter Masarykova čtvrt.

Vietnamese market

Looking for tofu, noodles, shiitake, bamboo shoots? Try this Vietnamese market

September 29, 2009

You can buy even fresh (!) coriander, ducks, sriracha sauce and any possible kind of rice there.

Kites

The best places to fly a kite

September 25, 2009

My favorite place for flying a kite is Stránská skála, a hillside park located in the eastern part of Brno.

Sushi

The most affordable, yet tasty sushi

September 16, 2009

A brand new fish restaurant opened in the “food court” of Campus Square last week, offering sushi at prices between CZK 59 and CZK 95 for 6-8 rolls.

Vegetarian food

The best vegetarian restaurants in Brno

September 14, 2009

David Věžník won our competition and will get two tickets to Friday party at Fléda. As a former vegetarian, I totally agree with his choice.

Chips

The best potato chips in Brno

August 14, 2009

Sometimes, potato chips are not a junk food.

Restaurant U Bláhovky

5 pubs and bars to visit during MotoGP weekend

August 7, 2009

Beer and sausages sold at the racing circuit certainly aren’t the best thing Brno can offer, nor the most reasonably priced. For authentic Czech pub experience, visit these restaurants in the centre of Brno.

Zelny trh

Best places to buy vegetables, fruits and seasonings

August 5, 2009

Why to buy vegetables, fruits and spices in supermarkets if you can buy it at a market?
