City, culture, nature and culinary delights

South Moravia’s cultural landmarks include castles, Villa Tugendhat in Brno and the Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape. Those who place architecture and city life at the centre of their trip will plan differently from travellers who are primarily looking for excursions into nature or regional culinary experiences.

The Moravian Karst near Blansko is an important regional destination for cave and gorge experiences. In the area around Okres Blansko are the Punkva Caves, with their underground cave system and a boat ride on the Punkva; the Macocha Gorge is another prominent landmark. Other regional landscape and excursion destinations include the Vranovská přehrada Reservoir and the reservoirs of Nové Mlýny.

Viticulture, grape harvests, wine festivals and regional cuisine are among South Moravia’s culinary highlights. For families, the region can be planned as a combination of nature excursions, history, culture, regional food and active days. This allows a stay to be shaped around different focuses, from cultural discoveries and landscape experiences to enjoyable culinary moments.

Which area suits your travel plans?

Brno is the administrative seat and the region’s urban centre of culture and architecture. If Brno’s city life, architecture and culture are the main focus, an urban base is a natural choice. For days spent exploring nature, wine or landscapes, however, the specific excursion area should play a greater role when choosing accommodation.

For further regional orientation, you can also visit Okres Břeclav. For comparison and further searches, you can also consult the pages for Okres Brno-Venkov, Okres Hodonín, Okres Vyškov and Okres Znojmo.

Combine your travel style with the right type of accommodation

For a cultural programme centred around Brno, accommodation with an urban focus is a natural choice. For days spent exploring nature, wine or landscapes, the specific excursion area should be determined first. A holiday apartment or holiday home can be an appealing option for longer stays with regional excursions if self-catering and your own daily schedule are part of your travel plans.

When searching for accommodation, you can compare holiday apartments, holiday homes and hotels. The decisive factor is your preferred focus: a city and culture programme, nature excursions, or wine and regional cuisine will lead to different starting points within South Moravia. As another themed page, you can explore The Dacha – village holidays in the CIS countries.

South Moravia is therefore suitable for travel planning that combines specific experiences with the choice of where to stay. First decide whether Brno’s culture, the Moravian Karst, or wine and regional cuisine will provide the main thread of your trip, and then search for suitable accommodation in the region.
