About this tour
This session covers Brno's underground, a network of medieval cellars beneath the old town that most visitors never realise exists. You see one of the entrances near the market square, then a vaulted chamber that once stored goods for the buildings above. It is a look beneath the surface of a city most people only see at street level.
I move carefully between the two stops, since the connection underground can be less reliable than on the street. Questions come as we go, and I am happy to repeat a detail if the signal drops briefly. A short note on which sections are open to visit follows by message afterwards.
This suits anyone curious about what lies beneath a historic city centre. It also pairs well with the Freedom Square session for a fuller sense of the old town above and below ground.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included

Itinerary

Welcome and sound check 5 min
The guide joins the video call, checks the picture and sound with you, and gives you a quick sense of Brno before heading out.
-
Entrance beneath Zelný trh 15 min
The camera descends through one of the entrances into the labyrinth, and I explain how the network of cellars connects buildings across the old town.
-
A vaulted cellar chamber 15 min
We move through a vaulted chamber, and I describe what these cellars stored centuries ago, before some were converted for today's use.
-
Your questions 7 min
Time to ask anything about Brno: prices, safety, food, or whatever you are curious about.
-
A short list to keep 3 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Trdelník and Veveří, worth a slower look.
