BRNO
Brno is the second largest city in the Czech Republic.
Brno is located in the southeast part of the country, at
the confluence of the Svitava and Svratka rivers. The
city is a political and a cultural hub of the South
Moravian Region (population est. 1,125,000 for the whole
region). At the same time, it represents the centre of
the province of Moravia, one of the historic lands of
the Czech Crown. It is situated at the crossroad of
ancient trade routes which have joined the North and
South European civilizations for centuries. Thanks to
its location between the Bohemian-Moravian Highlands and
the Southern Moravian lowlands, Brno enjoys a very
pleasant and moderate climate. |
