10 Nature & Parks in Brno That You Shouldn't Miss
The charms of the Czech Republic's second-largest city may not be immediate, but spend a few days in this Moravian town and Brno's vibrant, authentic Czech ambiance will win you over. It's a fine way to experience Czech life without the teeming herds of tourists that visit Prague. Art Nouveau, Empire and Neoclassical buildings stand in the bar- and restaurant-packed old city center. Leafy parks abound. Be sure to get a photo with a local landmark, the suspiciously crocodilian Brno Dragon statue.

We've been there in December but the best time to visit this place would be most probably the summertime. Prepare for some small hiking. We were not ready for that but despite all the sweat it was worth to see it all. You will see some wild animals but don't be deceived by some comments about bringing the food for them. Don't do it. We bought a full package of carrots and...it turned out to be a huge mistake. You can't feed animals there. If you do it remember about 5k CZK you may pay for it (fine). I recommend this place to literally everyone who likes to stay healthy ???????? And don't bring food for animals!!!!!! ????

The Origin of Open Gardens At the beginning the idea was to create a modern and environmentally friendly yet functional space that would serve as a good example as to how others - businesses, schools, government agencies and the general public, could follow. This idea came into being in the fall of 2012. Built in the heart of the second largest city in the Czech Republic, the Open Gardens has been functioning as a textbook of environmentally friendly architecture, sustainable agriculture and modern environmental protection. Climate change poses a fundamental threat to people in the Amazon rainforest, India, sub-Saharan Africa or in Europe. Unprecedented floods, droughts and unpredictable weather changes threaten the lives of millions of people around the globe. The Open Gardens is a living example of suitable adaptation measures to climate change which can be adopted in a highly urbanized areas. Open Gardens = Education and Fun! Open Gardens consists of two parts: a unique environmental education facility, and an office development which provides a home to several Czech NGOs. Open Gardens hosts countless events and activities - seminars, lectures, workshops, family events and educational programs tailored for students. As well, visitors can enjoy guided tours of the passive buildings or rent a place for a private family party. The emphasis of the whole garden design is put on adventure exploration of ecological coherences and the laws of nature focusing mainly to alternative energy sources and physical phenomena, energy savings, utilization of renewable sources of energy and the use of vegetation elements in their natural way.

When you are in Brno and you have more days to visit, it is really good idea to visit Brno water dam. What to expect: huge dam with lovely nature around. Castle Veveri to visit. Good for date, for walking around, swimming, family trip, friends trip, water sports, sunbathing.. How to get there: the best is to take tram 1 from HLAVNI NADRAZI (Main train station) in direction Ondrouškova and get off at Přístaviště. It takes 30mins approx. You need to buy 1hour ticket, as there are no 30mins ticket. Do not forget to mark it in the tram. What to do there: - sunbathing, watersports, - there are some restaurants and also fast-food snack bars - in June there is annual Ignins Brunensis - international fireworks exhibition - you can take boat trip till the end of the dam and on the way you can get of as many times as you want and come back then. The best stop is for the CASTLE VEVERI - It is really worth to take this tour, it is nice and relaxing BOAT TOUR (not guided tour,it is just a ride): - boat operates usually every 45mins or hourly from 8am - 5pm - however this depends on the season and the level of the water etc. - you can check the timetable of this boat at the web of Brno Transport office - The areal of Veveri castle is open in April - October on weekends and public holidays from 9am - 5pm, from May - September daily except Monday from 9am - 6pm - you can buy ticket only for the boat tour or also for the castle - Castle Veveri is very nice to visit, the area around is very nice and external area of the castle - there are also some exhibitions to visit, however we did not visit them Have fun! ps: for the boat tour always check the web of the transport office of Brno

February allows you to admire the spring flowers, flora inside the greenhouses and also the artefacts scattered inside the Botanical garden. Visitors of any age will find both beauty and relax, I love to take my camera, my mother brings a book to read. Have fun and try to guess how old is this botanical garden - the very first audio guide inside the greenhouse will tell you about the beginnings of this garden history.
