Its a huge church and worth watching while you are in Brno after a short climb up to the hill. Perhaps the only worth while thing in Brno although dont know tugendhat that much :) More

Hats off boys and no pics allowed in this silent and recluse cathedral. Beautiful gothic architecture and close walk from drop off and town center with Christmas markets. Nice place to see. More

May just be my taste, but I found the cathedral a little disappointing. Not that old, in fact. More

Very beautiful place. Tip: Take the time to walk all the way around the church. There is a park, monolith, giant cross, and a good view of the city. More

Because Brno is not know like capital Prague, its not really tourist city and sometimes it mean that very nice places are empty! Its very close to main square "namesti Svobody", 5 min by walk distance only! If you have like old historical buildings,its very good choice! More

Since Brno isn't really a tourist town it was pretty empty when I went. Admission was 35 crowns. The cathedral doesn't really stack up against the larger ones in Prague but was still pretty nice. I recommend going up the tower to take pictures. In all, I think it was one of the better attractions I visited in Brno. More
