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.

- To provide on-line help
- To help you to find a job teaching English in the Czech Republic

or cash.

A very good friend of mine Mirek is a keen nature lover and an excellent photographer. Almost every weekend he sets out for a trip and comes back with lots of interesting photos from the Brno region. I am happy to share his photos with you. THis time enjoy a virtual tour of the PALAVA region, which is about 40 km south of Brno. Click on DETAILED INFO to see his photos. The PALAVA Biosphere Reserve is an ideal place for hiking with a final stop in Mikulv with a bottle of south Moravian wine.

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.
