It’s best to plan your two days in Brno by neighbourhood, so you spend less time travelling between them. This itinerary leaves time to explore Moravian architecture and the compact historic centre, to rest after the coach journey, and to make some unexpected stops along the way.
Day one: exploring the city centre
Start at Freedom Square and the Old Town Hall. Walk between the nearest attractions, and choose one paid attraction in advance. Check opening hours, entry rules and temporary restrictions on the city’s official websites.
Day 2: another neighbourhood
Continue your journey via Špilberk Castle and the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul. Don’t overload your day with museums: alternate between indoor attractions, viewpoints and walks. If the weather changes, have an indoor alternative ready.
Transport and food
Download an offline map and check how to pay for local transport. For meals, it’s best to choose a place a little away from the main tourist square and leave some time without a booking – this makes a short trip more flexible.
How to prepare for a coach journey
Save the exact arrival and departure addresses, and choose your accommodation based on its proximity to the bus station. General tips for the country can be found in the RedRay article. It’s handy to check your travel essentials against a checklist for a long journey.
Return journey
Allow plenty of time to get to the coach station, especially in the evening or at weekends. You can compare journeys to and from the city on RedRay. Before leaving your accommodation, check the operator’s announcements and the platform.
