Brno's creative pulse is felt in its streets — in the murals near Spilberk Castle and Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul, in the galleries tucked into neighborhoods that most visitors pass without noticing. Walking is the only way to find them. Look for Brno Underground — a creative corner that guidebooks consistently overlook.
Brno is the Czech Republic's underrated second city, a lively university town with a hilltop cathedral and castle, a UNESCO-listed functionalist villa, and a craft beer scene rivaling Prague.
Roamee Pro, also known as Roamee, offers a free self-guided music & arts tour route in Brno. The audio walking tour can include stops such as Spilberk Castle — a 13th-century hilltop fortress once the Habsburg Empire's harshest prison, now a city museum with casemates and views over the red rooftops of Brno, Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul — a Gothic cathedral on Petrov Hill with twin spires visible across the city, famous for its noon bells that ring at 11 a.m. due to a siege-era trick, Villa Tugendhat (UNESCO) — a 1930 Mies van der Rohe masterpiece of functionalist architecture, with an onyx wall and open floor plan that revolutionized modern residential design, plus hidden gems like Brno Underground — a network of medieval cellars and passages beneath the old town, originally used for food storage and now open for guided tours and Luzanky Park — the oldest public park in the Czech Republic, a peaceful green space popular with joggers, families, and sunbathers.

Brno is known for architecture and beer, but creativity is woven into every corner. Street art appears visible around Spilberk Castle and Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul, music drifts from doorways in neighborhoods off the main tourist path. Lesser-known creative pockets like Brno Underground reward those who walk slowly enough to notice.
Brno's old town is small and hilly — you can see the main sights in half a day on foot, leaving time for craft beer exploration in the afternoon.
May through September offers warm weather and outdoor terrace culture, with the Ignis Brunensis fireworks competition drawing crowds each summer.
