This Cathedral you will surely notice coming closer to the main railway station). The exterior empresses!!! But inside it's also nice to observe and there's no obligatory entrance fee! And of course you shouldn't forget about high tower with nice view over the city! Price for the tower is 35 crowns (about 1,5 euro).

We liked it so much that we decided to stay in Brno next morning to visit the cathedral. When I saw the stained glass window from the outside I've said it should be great and it was! I've never seen such amazing one before - fine contours, colorful. Unfortunately it was not possible to come very close to it in... More

The church is a wonderful thing to see from many places around Brno. The walk up the steeple is interesting, but not great.

Hello, i am living right next to this amazing work of art. It is unreal..to see it in the sunrise and sunset everyday. She was build on the former Brno castle or palace, on Petrov hill. Very easy to reach, you have the tram lines, only 10 min to foot walk to the centre.

Your eyes will thank you enjoying this lace like neogothis architecture, elegant and inviting to heaven. Close to the end of the year there are many concerts in the cathedral so your ears will be happy as well. Those who love wings can climb up the tower to see the city in the way birds can see it.

The Cathedral is placed on the Petrov hill in the center of Brno; there is a panorama of the city and the possibility to reach the other city side crossing the hill easier and quicker. If i am right, it is a national cultural monument and also the most important monuments of South Moravia..Internally, it looks as baroque; it has... More

It's an impressive cathedral, visible from nearly all roads approaching the city. And the interior and view from the hill are a nice bonus if you decide to go uphill to the cathedral.

We visited mid-week and out of season, so it was very quiet. The interior of the cathedral was quite impressive, though sadly the available information in English was very limited. A mildly interesting 15 minutes.

The stained-glass windows and gothic style are impressive, and the climb up into the towers is worth it for a view of the city as well as a peek into the old part of the building. There is a nice shop nearby with some regional religious art.
