Culture and History
The casemates of Å pilberk Castle are an architectural curiosity and a major tourist attraction in Brno. Å pilberk was first mentioned in writing in 1277 and was converted into a large Baroque fortress in the following century. Part of the fortifications was designated as a prison for the worst and most dangerous criminals.
The Anthropos Pavilion was built in 1962 for an exhibition that Professor Karel Absolon had created in 1928. The bells of the Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul traditionally ring in the midday hour at 11 a.m. The cellars beneath the Vegetable Market served as storage rooms for owners and local merchants; they also functioned as shelters during the war.
Landscape and Trails
The observation deck of the Observatory and Planetarium in Brno offers views of Brno during the day and at night. The Observatory and Planetarium is served by tram line 4. The Brno Reservoir on the Svratka is a recreation and sports area with beaches, boating opportunities, and attractive surrounding scenery.
Public transportation in Brno began operating in 1869 with the first horse-drawn tram in the Czech lands. Brno has a relatively dense network of cycle paths covering the city.
Everyday City Life
Farmers' markets take place daily at Zelný trh. There is a public toilet in the market hall. A freely accessible drinking fountain stands in the lower part of the square.
