Brno
The Svratka River defines the setting of Brno — its broad valley channels major roads and rail lines through Czechia’s second-largest city, with urban districts extending towards the surrounding hills. The Poříčí–Vídeňská area lies south of the historic core in a dense inner-city corridor of bridges, broad avenues and substantial turn-of-the-20th-century buildings. Brno is the historical capital of Moravia and one of the country’s leading university cities. Above the centre stands Špilberk Castle, founded as a medieval royal fortress and later transformed into a Baroque citadel. The city is also home to Villa Tugendhat, a landmark of modern architecture inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

Brno sits at the meeting of the Svratka and Svitava rivers in Czechia’s South Moravian Region, where a major university city meets the wine-growing countryside of Moravia. The country’s second-largest city has long been the historic centre of Moravia, with the twin spires of the Cathedral of St Peter and Paul rising above its old core. Nearby, Špilberk Castle began as a 13th-century royal castle and later served as a fortress and prison. Brno is also home to Villa Tugendhat, Ludwig Mies van der Rohe’s 1930 modernist house, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.

South Moravian Region has acted as a cultural crossroads within the Czech lands since the Middle Ages. Brno, Czechia’s second-largest city, is its urban centre, with Špilberk Castle recalling its long strategic role. The region extends across the warm lowlands of the Morava and Dyje rivers, where vineyards shape the countryside around Mikulov and Znojmo. To the north, the Moravian Karst is known for its limestone caves and the Macocha Abyss. The Lednice–Valtice Cultural Landscape, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, combines formal estates, follies and parkland near the Austrian border.

The terrain of Czechia ranges from fertile lowlands in southern Moravia to mountain ridges along the northern frontier, giving this Central European country a distinctly varied geography. The Vltava runs through Prague before joining the Elbe, while the Krkonoše form part of the border with Poland and include Sněžka, Czechia’s highest mountain. Prague’s historic centre, with Prague Castle and Charles Bridge, reflects the city’s long role as a political and cultural centre. Beyond the capital, Bohemia is known for spa towns and brewing, and Moravia for wine-growing traditions.
