Barceló Hotels & Resorts in Brno

Despite having a name that’s difficult to pronounce, Brno is a city where it’s easy to feel at home. Despite the events of the Second World War, this Czech city has risen from the ashes to become an important centre of cultural activity, capable of enchanting all visitors. Barceló Hotels & Resorts in Brno opens its doors to welcome guests attracted by the present day Czech Republic.

In 1927, the German architect Mies van der Rohe was commissioned to build the Villa Tugendhat for Fritz and Grete Tugendhat, a family who owed their wealth to the textile industry. Now a World Heritage Site, it is a true example of functionalist architecture, following restoration work in 2010 and 2012. Other highlights of the skyline include the National Theatre and the Moravian Gallery, which will amaze visitors with their converted industrial appearance.

The old town is dominated by Špilberk castle, which includes a Gothic castle and two chapels in its grounds and now houses the city museum. The most impressive feature of Brno, however, is undoubtedly the Cathedral of St Peter and Paul, which was originally Romanesque, then Gothic, and finally Neo-Gothic in the 19th and 20th centuries. The views from the tower are not to be missed.

Further from the centre is the Old Brno Monastery, where Gregor Mendel studied and lived for many years and where he developed his genetic theories known as Mendel’s Laws. After your visit, weather permitting, you can enjoy a Czech beer on the terrace of the Starobrno factory, the city’s largest brewery.
