Discount Car Hire in Brno

The second largest city in the Czech Republic, Brno is often overlooked by visitors to the Czech Republic who are coming to see Prague. However, being home to a long list of superb heritage listed buildings, and surrounded by pristine forests, Brno is well worth a visit, particularly for those lucky enough to be exploring this part of the world with a rental car.

Travelling in Brno with a Rental Car

A great way to begin your visit to Brno is by visiting the building where the city's most important decisions were made for hundreds of years, the Old Town Hall. Drive your rental car into the city centre, and spend some time exploring this wonderful building, which was built in the 13th century and is decorated in the gothic style of the time. Be sure to also climb the stairs up to the buildings tower, from where you will get a spectacular view of the city.

Much like travelling in Prague with a hire car, there are many excellent places to visit within the city centre, and one can almost say the entire area is one great attraction. Highly recommended are the Capuchin Church, a 17th century monastery complete with wonderful baroque statues and a crypt of mummified monks (not for the squeamish!) and also places such as Freedom Square, the Parnas Fountain, and Moravian Gallery, the 2nd largest art gallery in the check republic.

All these great places and more will be at your fingertips when travelling in Brno with a rental car.
