Travelling with children can be a lot of fun, but town visits might be really demanding. To plan a programme suitable for the youngest is often more difficult than during hiking in the open air. The town of Brno offers many attractions which aspire to enjoy even the youngest members of your expedition.

We offer some tips what to enjoy and see during your visit to the Moravian city, both when the sky is clear and when it is heavily raining.
