Brno as the capital of Moravia and quick trip to Bratislava

Hi guys,

this article is about Brno and Bratislava. Couple of weeks ago I visited Brno (for the first time in my life). Lately, I´ve realized that I don´t travel much in my own country and that´s something I wanna change. So, here we go.

Here is something about Brno

- it´s the 2nd biggest city in the Czech Republic
- around 500 000 inhabitants
- it´s the capital of Moravia (part of the Czech Republic)
- university town
- it takes around 2,5 h. to go there by bus or train
- people from Brno don´t like people from Prague (I´m living in Prague)

Some photos from Brno.

Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul.

Fixed gear Brno- it´s a bar and they will fix your bike as well.

Main square (freedom).

Brno astronomical clock.

Masaryk street.

Markets on the square. I´ve bought here some local wine. Wines from Moravia should be the best.

 Supreme Administrative Court is located in Brno.

Another square.

Starobrno brewery.

Brynza gnocchi- typical Slovakian meal.

The dam in Brno.

Definitely the best Langoš.

On the boat.

Dallas in Texas is a partner city of Brno.

The most famous unfinished highway in the Czech Republic is this one in Brno so-called Hitler's highway.

Local castel called Spilberk.

Few photos around this area

Such as beautiful views..

This is the best "miradouro" in Brno.

And that´s all about Brno. So, how do you like it? In my opinion it´s worth for the visit, so what are you waiting for? :-)

Now, let me show you few photos from Bratislava. What was the purpose of my stay? Well, I´ve represented there within internation conference the Association where I´m working (I was one of the international speakers).

Bratislava is the capital of Slovakia. My grandmother comes from Slovakia but I have been there only once (in Tatry mountains). Yes, I know. Shame on me. I went to Bratislava 3 weeks ago (business trip). I was able to manage re-union with my Slovak friends from Erasmus in Lisbon.

Very fascinating Blue church.

Local mall called Eurovea.

The monument of Milan Rastislav Štefánik (Slovak politician, General of the French army and astronomer).

River Danube and Apollo bridge.

Very first bridge in Bratislava so called Old bridge.

Unfortunately I don´t have many photos from Bratislava  (as you can see :-). Next time, I´ll go there during my free time so I can spend in Bratislava a little bit more time. It´s not so far from Prague- around 5 hours by bus.

See you later
