Oh yeah, we're gonna talk about Brno!
When you get to Brno, the second-largest city in the Czech Republic, you'll immediately pick up that authentic quirky vibe that it's putting down.
This less-crowded neo-Renaissance city makes for a delightful day of discovery with an underground labyrinth that leads to an historic tavern, cathedrals, an ossuary only smaller than the Paris catacombs, peak nightlife that includes wine bars, whisky bars, rum bars, a circus bar, and a fire foodie scene.
Named one of the UNESCO "Creative Cities of Music" expect lots of live music in bars, restaurants, and especially on the stages of the Christmas markets. Speaking of which...
You'll have plenty of free time to explore the Christmas markets that feature tunnel cakes, smoked cheese with cranberry sauce, hot mead, and crafts like beeswax candles, ceramics, blacksmithing wares, and lavender goods from skincare to wine.
