Welcome to Brno, the Czech Republic's "second city" (population 400,000), 2.5 hours east of Prague (by train or bus) and (1.5 hours north of Vienna) in the heart of the southern Moravian wine country. Slower paced than Prague and off the tourist path, the Brno region offers hiking and biking through the highlands and vineyards, folk festivals, UNESCO
sites, but most of all its famous open-hearted southern Moravian hospitality.
I am ready to help you to arrange the following services during your stay in BRNO, the CZECH REPUBLIC:
- To find an accommodation, (short or
a long term stay)
- Act as a tour guide
- To arrange various excursions
- To organise tailor made trips
- To buy bus and train tickets and tickets to various venues
- To provide on-line help
- To help you to find a job teaching English in the Czech Republic
- To act as an interpreter
- Method of payment: PayPal
or cash.

Boat ride at the Brno lake
After a year break due to the clean up of the Brno lake the boats were launched on May 8, 2010 again at the Brno lake. Boats will operate till October. For some extra money they also take bikes, so this is a good tip for a day or a half day trip. Take a tram No. 1 direction BYSTRC to get to the harbour. I can recommend a stop at the VEVERI Castle, only one floor is open to the public, not far from the castle there is a nice chapel of Virgin Mary and nice countryside. Check the timetable here.

GRAND PRIX
If you don´t know what MotoGP is then it was a mistake to click on this link. MotoGP is currently the most exciting form of motorised sport in the world, forget cars of any kind and the boring F1! The MotoGP "circus" comes to Brno in the third week of August every year to race on the new(ish) automotodrom to the west of the city near Rosice. The area quickly fills with visitors from all across Europe who all come to watch the racing at this exciting track. As well as having a track that makes the riders work hard, for westerners the ticket price is very cheap, the beer is very cheap. Beer, food, shades, sun hat and something to sit on.
In order to find reasonable accommodation, please contact me as early as possible, preferrably in January.

To be able to find any street in the Czech Republic and especially in Brno, use the browser called MAPY.CZ, which is slightly similar to GOOGLE MAPS.COM. Just type the name of a town, then "comma" and then the name of a street. You can also use zoom using "plus" or "minus" or drag a map using arrows in the left upper corner. Good luck.
