Check out the opening and closing times because it is a long walk to miss out. The views are worth it over the city and surrounds. More

Went up the hill to Spilberk Castle, and was unimpressed. Paid for entrance to the "Kasameny", and there wasn't much to see. Time and money is better spent elsewhere. View of the city is nice though. More

Unfortunately when we visited the castle was closed and refurbishment was going on - so externally well worth a vist - internally cannot comment.

This was one of the main attractions of Brno. It was a nice walk up, and you have an amazing view of the city of Brno. The castle itself is not that impressive, but the area is ok. More

In city center, on the top of the hill, all newly reconstructed. The hill is a park which offers many views at surrounding areas. Great place to relax and just enjoy your time. More
