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!!!!!! ????

A fairly easy walk up the hill to the top for some great views over the town and castle. Most of the walk is paved/steps a small church is at the top but it is the views in all directions that you would go up here for. We went in October and while it was sunny (but chilly) in the town up the hill there was a bitter wind blowing hard so take the correct clothing for the time of year that you visit...!

This neo-Gothic cathedral is famous for the bells that always ring noon at 11 A.M., a tradition that dates back to a 1645 siege by the Swedes.
1. Having occupied the hilltop at the southern corner of Brno and with both towers open to the public (requires ticket), the cathedral offers a magnificent view to the city (only the Spilberk Castle’s watchtower offers a more comprehensive outlook in this respect, having occupied another hill more overlooking to the whole city). 2. The church dates back to the 11th century but the main building and artistic elements are developed much later. The interior is built by the 18th-century Baroque architect, M Grimm. 3. Having finished the main halls, you’ll realize you can’t find the entrance to the towers. For to reach that entrance you’ll have to brace the snow again – enter through a side-gate outside. Ticket office to both the towers and treasury to be found mid-way as you walk up the stairs. 4. It is not uncommon for cathedrals to showcase their treasury. And it is even more strategic to include it as part of your tower ticket. 5. As you go up the flights of stairs, exhibition boards will tell you how the church comes into its being, how the bells are to be used three times a day to indicate the prayer times, the shortening of the southern tower to make the two equally attractive, and so on. 6. And then the same boards appear again and again repeating themselves on the top decks. So that you’ll not be excused to miss a single detail. 7. After you’ve visited one of the towers, go through the door to reach the opposite side. The corridor can be in complete darkness if the doors on both sides are closed. 8. On both sides of the corridor there is a trick step to punish the hasty and those with Vitamin-A Deficiency. ‘Be careful’. 1.

Sonberk is a modern winery nestled within 40 hectares of vineyard dating back to the 13th century. Through the unique pairing of soil and sun the vineyard gives origin to healthy grapes - for an unique, unforgettable wine. The wining house was designed by Josef Pleskot in a modern style combining wood, glass and concrete with the most beautiful view of Palava Hills, an UNESCO protected heritage site. Therefor Sonberk is much more than a winery - it is a place to be.

The castle isn't exactly very old - it was built in mid-19th century in a place where castles had stood since the early Middle Ages. It is, however, a fine example of the Victorian passion for the Gothic architecture and as such decidedly deserves a visit if only to see how the princes of Liechtenstein lived and entertained. Reserve a whole day for the visit - apart from the castle itself (visits in guided groups with limited numer of tickets so get yours as soon as you arrive!), there is the greenhouse, the minaret, the park etc. etc. It will take the whole summer day to see it all but you won't regret it!

This is a labyrinth of wine cellars built many hundreds of years ago. The entrance is quite unassuming but once you get in you'll be amazed. Our tour guide met us with samples of local wine and then proceeded to explain why the cellars were built, along with what happened over the centuries to the buildings above ground. We were able to replenish our glasses during the tour! The wine was very good - the white wine that is. The red wine samples weren't that good but the tour guide did explain their red wine was still being developed. Being a white wine enthusiast, not a problem for me. The finale was a tasting of several varieties of local wine. These were classic Riesling or Hock - a medium light wine. The wine tasting was accompanied by food - classic cold cuts/cheese/bread. We were in a group, so we quietly (or not so quietly!) got on with enjoying ourselves! This is definitely worth going out of your way if you want to see something unique and you enjoy wine. But, don't drive afterwards!

Worth going there because of three reasons: beautiful castle with panoramic view, outstanding quiet gardens and winery(!)
