The South Moravian Region lies in the southeast of the Czech Republic, and it is the setting for a visit that mixes city life with the slower pace of the countryside. Its best-known city is Brno, the regional centre, which gives the area much of its character and much of its economic weight.
What a visit offers
- Brno, the region's main city, with its streets, public life and historical sites
- Wine country, for which the region is well known, with vineyards spread across its landscape
- Historical sites scattered through the region, giving a sense of its long past
- Economic life, which gives the region a working, lived-in feel alongside its tourist attractions
Planning your trip
Because the region is wide, it suits a visitor who is willing to combine time in the city with day trips into the surrounding countryside. Brno makes a natural base, and from there the wine-producing areas and the region's historical places can be reached in turn. Visitors who enjoy wine, history and a mix of urban and rural settings will find the region a rewarding choice within the Czech Republic.
