Old Town Hall - Tourist Information Centre — Attraction in okres Brno-město

If a visitor desires some souvenirs from Brno, the information center is well stocked with both a merchandise for a sale (at a reasonable price range), and freebies, including flyers, maps, guides etc. The personnel are very helpful and friendly, they can throw in some hints on what other places are worth visiting that are not as commonly known. The Old Town Hall is a building that tells stories and tales from the old times even before you enter. Up on the facade you may see a decoration that seems a little odd in appearance and you will soon be told why it is... Few steps into the passage and your eyes will rest on an old wooden wheel, similar to those used for medieval carriages and there is indeed a story behind it as well. Looking up, you will spot an impression of a dragon, with appearance somehow similar to crocodile and rest assured that its presence features a story too. After all, that animal is somewhat a mascot of the city, one of the local Radio Stations even bears the name Crocodile (in Czech translation that is). As was stated in previous comments, parts of the interior of the building can be toured as well... Enjoy your time in the South Moravia Metropolis with an abundance of sights worth visiting, stories worth listening to, and people worth...

The old Town Hall is definitely worth a visit if in Brno, actually I wouldn't miss it ! The entrance is lovely with the stone work and the story of how the builder made one Piller crooked in retaliation to not getting paid. The spayed brno dragon, which is actually a crocodile, is hanging up in the entrance. Many brochures and souvenirs on the tourist office. The highlight for us, was the tower ! Boughy tickets in the tourist office, bout 4€ entry each, the way up, stairs only, very secured and safe ! With info in Czech and English as you go up! View from top is super, it was a cloudy icy day when we visited so I imagine it would be magnificent on a clear sunny day! Views of the castle and the cathedral, definitely see further on a clear day! Definitely recommend paying the fee Euro to go to the top! The rest of town hall is just a small Court yard, no price to enter, and some nice cafes at the side of courtyard as you enter the big square! The tower was one of the highlights! If this review is helpful, please...

the Old Town Hall serves mainly cultural purposes, as it houses a gallery, an information centre, and a permanent exhibition on its history. In summer, you can visit its historical halls and climb up the 63-metre tower to enjoy an impressive view of Brno from the top. The courtyard serves as a venue for various concerts, festivals, theatre performances, and film screenings. Enter its arched passage through the portal beneath the legendary Late Gothic turret by sculptor Anton Pilgram. In the passage, you can see two items from other famous Brno legends: a crocodile, also called the Brno dragon, and a wheel. The courtyard beyond, with Renaissance arcades from the end of the 16th century, was built by Italian designers, and later modifications are the result of its Early Baroque renovations. The Old Town Hall served its original purpose until 1935 when the authorities moved to Nová radnice (the New Town Hall) located at Dominikánské náměstí...
