In the Czech Republic, the established city of Brno is beaten only by the capital Prague in terms of size, population and importance. By all accounts, the second city is well worth a trip for those who have developed a taste for Czech culture but don't fancy paying for their stay at Prague prices.
Hire a car in Brno and you'll have the opportunity to visit the wide range of architectural tributes to the city's heritage which still stand today - including monasteries, museums and galleries. The local area has several UNESCO World Heritage sites too which are definitely worth the cost of car hire in Brno.
Though You'll find most of the city's main sights in the centre, it's definitely worth considering car hire in Brno, so that you get the chance to see its local surroundings and get a feel for the kind of culture offered without the hefty costs you'd get in Prague.
The Brno Trade & Fair Centre attracts many visitors to its varied exhibitions and trade shows, both for business and consumer, while a trip to Villa Tugendhat is essential. A recent renovation has wowed architecture buffs all over the world with its sleek surfaces and gorgeous exterior.
The location of Brno, to the south of the Czech Republic and close to the border with Slovakia, allows for many different excursion opportunities and when you have access to a car you can make the most of them.
