Understated Brno: Experience a Different Side of Czechia

💟Bohemia and Moravia together form modern-day Czechia. From Prague, we took a train to Brno in Moravia—just 220 km from Vienna. 📸 The Leaning Pillar at Old Town Hall (16th century) 💟Legend says the architect deliberately tilted this Gothic pillar to shame the government for unpaid bills, leaving a permanent mark of their dishonesty. 📸 Ornate Facades in the Old Town 💟Founded in 1243, Brno became Moravia’s cultural hub by the 14th century. 📸 The Black "Bullet" Astronomical Clock (Freedom Square) ✨At 11 AM daily, this quirky clock drops a glass marble—lucky visitors can keep it as a souvenir (we missed it!). 📸 Vegetable Market Square (Zelný trh) ✨A 13th-century market still selling fresh, affordable produce (far better than supermarkets!). Nearby: ✨A statue of 11-year-old Mozart, who performed here 💙Underground labyrinths—once used as storage and "natural fridges" (We lucked out with a private English tour!) 📸 The 2000-Discovered Ossuary 💙Less crowded than Kutná Hora’s bone church: 💙Photography allowed 🌈50,000 skeletons (Europe’s second-largest after France) 📸 Cold War Nuclear Bunker (10-Z) 🌈Built in 1959 as a top-secret shelter for 500 people to survive 3 days post-nuke. Now open to the public. 📸 Moravian Square’s "Courage" Statue 🌈An 8m bronze horse—locals love posing beneath its belly. #BrnoTravel #Czechia #WorldHeritage
