The City of Brno and its vicinity
www.brno.cz
The City of Brno is the second largest city in the Czech Republic, with a population of nearly 400,000. It lies in the central part of Europe and within a 120
to 200-kilometre radius there are several European capitals: Prague, Vienna
and Bratislava. Brno International Airport is served by scheduled flights.
The city can be proud of its numerous landmarks, which are proof of its rich
(800-year) history. The historical centre of Brno is a listed urban preservation
area. The city became prominent in European history during the Thirty Years'
War, as it was the only town in Central Europe able to defend itself against
siege by the Swedish army. Subsequently it underwent rapid economic
development and during the 18th and 19th centuries it dominated the textile
and engineering industries. Functionalist architecture contributed to giving
the city its appearance as a modern metropolis. The most significant architectural landmarks include the Brno Exhibition Centre, founded in 1928, and
the famous Villa Tugendhat, built in 1930, which is featured on the UNESCO
World Heritage List. Today, Brno is a university town, home to the country’s
highest legal bodies as well as other important institutions. It is a centre
of business and trade, culture, sport, science, research and innovation.

City in the Centre of Europe" featuring a firework festival known as Ignis
Brunensis) as well as significant sporting events
