Culture of Brno. Places to visit - old town, temples, theaters, museums and palaces
Brno offers its guests to visit numerous attractions of the city. Here you will find many interesting and exciting excursion routes.

The capital of South Moravia is full of mysterious and mystical places – though, just as in any major city of the Czech Republic. Among them, Kostnice (ossuaries) in the St. Jakub church stands out in a special way. It is a truly interesting place, especially from a historical point of view. And it sure is a mystical one as well. The place is given a special atmosphere by the soundtrack (musical accompaniment). It seems logical that nervous people are prohibited from entering such places. Mincmistrovský sklep, which is located next to the new Ratusha, is also striking with its mystery. The underground museum tells about money made in the 13th century.
