A great place to enjoy a little bit of Brno history, enjoy the view of the city and experience the terrors of the old underground prison!
The castle is newly restored, if you don´t want to spend money for the entrance fee, there is still a lot of things to see fo free. Wonderful view of the city, nice castla courtyard with a chime playing every hour. Inside the castle there are many interesting expositions - you can start in the cellars where castle dungeon is found. In the upper floors there are various exhibitions and a castle gallery. It´s worth seeing - it´s a place full of history.
We only visited the dungeons and not the actual museum and exhibitions. They were huge and quite interesting. The lighting was not so good - it was difficult to read signs and guide book. The view from the castle are very good.
My first impression of this building is that it didn't look as a classic castle at all, and indeed - it was renovated and transformed into a civil building during the Austro-Hungarian era. The exhibitions were mainly in Czech - occasionally German and English. The best part is to just walk in the grounds of the castle and appreciate the city views. Save the entrance free, unless you have a good reason or time to visit the interior.
Nice view, but very long and boring exhibitions.The casamates just empty floors under the ground (with 4-5 vax statue), the exhibitions aren't well integrated (a lot of different themes) and boring:(
There is a very nice view from the castle top, and many of the (temporary) exhibitions are really excellent. The surrounding park and the hilltop scenery are great too. The castle as such is nothing special (considering other places in Europe :-), the dungeons are OK, not really exciting. The food festival at the castle, summer theatre plays, etc. are great.
The castle is nice for a afternoon walk, offers amazing view of the city, exhibitions, you can visit its dungeons, learn about history and in summer it offers Shakespearean theatre nights.
The castle is well worth a visit. Great for exercise as it is up hill through a stunning park. Beautiful views when you get there. I guess you could be lazy and drive up, but honestly, the walk is far more rewarding :) We did not have the time to take the tour inside (not sure if it was open anyway) but even exploring the outside was really nice and I recommend it.
it is a nice castle,with a restaurant and a cafe.the reastaurant is nice decorated,it really feels that you are in a castle,the food was ok,price ok,polite staff.Also its nice to walk there,especially during summer,is lovely to have picnic.sometimes you can find good and interesting exhibitions.
We were given laminated sheets & we walked around Rampaths – for prisoners. The castle contained museum and exhibits = gave it a miss.
