The Church of Virgin Mary in Tuřany is among the most beautiful and monumental churches in Brno
Before 1947, these three districts were independent villages, far from Brno. Even though they became part of Brno administratively, they are still village-like and separated from the rest of the town.
There are exactly 3,110 people living in Chrlice and around 4,500 people living in Tuřany. Brněnské Ivanovice is the smallest district, with 517 houses. (Btw, don’t confuse Brněnské Ivanovice with Brno-Ivanovice.)
Tuřany is known for an international airport (BRQ), serving 500,000+ passengers every year.
Pros
- No ugly blocks of flats or dangerous streets with game rooms; just neat old rows with trees.
- Low rents (but few avaible apartments).
Cons
- Too much traffic going through both districts — that is not something you would expect from countryside-like living.
- Noise from the nearby airport (but it’s no Frankfurt am Main).
- If you want to work in the centre, you should have a car to get there in less than half an hour. Bike can do it too, but prepare for bike-unfriendly roads and heavy traffic.
Catholic mass with pope Benedict XVI is probably the most important event in the history of Chrlice.
You’ll like these districts if:
- …you want to live outside the city, but not too far.
- …you have a job in a nearby business district “Černovické terasy”.
