The 5-day plan, rearranged for 3 days: the best-ranked places stay, and each day keeps to one part of town.
From average weather, 2021 to 2025: days that are warm but not hot, with few rainy days, score highest. Crowds and prices change through the year, so check them before you book.
Built from the plan’s must-sees, grouped so each day stays close together and ordered by time of day.
A modernist family house from 1930 by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Tickets sell out, so book well ahead, and check ahead for how the visits are run.
Go when Morning, at the time you booked.
Local tip Tickets sell out well ahead, so book as soon as your dates are set. The house is best seen slowly, room by room, with the garden to finish.
The long, open square at the heart of Brno, ringed by painted townhouses and a black, bullet-shaped clock of glass. A good place to get your bearings and see the city at its own pace.
Go when Morning, before the shops open and the square is quiet.
Local tip Look up at the facades rather than at the shop windows. The painted fronts and the carved doorways are the best part.
The Czech Sunday classic is beef in a creamy root vegetable sauce, with slices of bread dumpling, cranberries and a spoon of cream. A heavy, comforting lunch.
Local tip Order it for lunch and keep the afternoon walk slow.
An old market square, lined with stalls selling fruit, vegetables and flowers, with a baroque fountain at one end. Under it runs a network of old cellars, so check ahead if a visit is open.
Go when Morning, when the stalls are full.
Local tip Walk to the fountain at the top of the square and climb its steps for the view down over the stalls.
Roast duck with red cabbage and bread or potato dumplings is the dish of the Moravian table, especially in autumn. Look for it on menus in the old center.
Local tip Duck is usually shared in large portions, so ask about a half portion for two.
Built from the plan’s must-sees, grouped so each day stays close together and ordered by time of day.
The two slim spires on the hill above the market are the symbol of the city. Step inside, and check ahead if the tower is open to climb. The noon bells are tied to a local story from an old siege, so ask a local to tell it.
Go when Late morning, so you hear the bells at noon.
Local tip The best view of the two spires is from the park on the hill beside the cathedral. Walk around it before you go in.
A crypt under the Capuchin monastery where the bodies of monks were naturally preserved. It holds human remains, so visit quietly and with respect. Check ahead for how and when you can go in.
Go when Midday, when the streets above are busy.
Local tip It is a quiet place and it holds human remains, so speak softly and take photographs only if they are allowed.
Smažený sýr is a thick slice of cheese coated in breadcrumbs and fried, served with tartar sauce and potatoes. A simple, filling pub lunch.
Local tip It is the dish most locals order when they want something quick, so look for a busy lunch table.
A fortress on a hill above the old town, once a royal castle and later a prison, now a museum. Walk up through the park for the view over the red roofs, and check ahead for which parts you can enter.
Go when Afternoon, when the light is soft over the city.
Local tip Walk up through the park rather than taking a car, and look back at the cathedral as the town opens below you.
Despite its name, Moravian sparrow is not a bird. It is slow-roasted pork, served with cabbage and dumplings, and a lasting dish of the region.
Local tip Ask the waiter which cabbage and which dumplings come with it.
Built from the plan’s must-sees, grouped so each day stays close together and ordered by time of day.
A neo-Gothic chateau of pale stone, once a summer home of a noble family, set in a large park. Walk the garden side first, then go in if you like, and check ahead for what is open.
Go when Morning, with the park to walk after.
Local tip Walk the garden side first and look back at the chateau across the lawn. The park is big, so choose one corner of it and leave the rest.
A pale castle on a rock above the town, with long views over vineyards and the low Palava hills. Walk up from the square, and check ahead for which rooms and cellars you can enter.
Go when Morning, before the heat and the day visitors.
Local tip Walk to the terrace for the view over the vineyards, then visit the castle rooms if there is time.
A plate of cured meats, a simple local dish and a glass of the local white at an outdoor table under the vines. Order slowly, and make it the long meal of the day.
Local tip Book ahead at a weekend, and plan a designated driver for the road back.
A large baroque chateau at the heart of the town, with a long courtyard. Its cellars hold a wine center where you can taste Czech wines, so check ahead and plan a driver, a tour or the bike back.
Go when Late afternoon, then a slow evening in town.
Local tip Walk the long courtyard, then ask at the chateau about a wine tasting in its cellars. Plan a driver, a tour or the bike for the way back.
A bowl of beef goulash with bread dumplings is a standard of the Czech table, and Frankovka is the local red, light and dark with a hint of pepper.
Local tip Ask for a half glass of the red if you still have the road back to drive.
