Špilberk Castle

The view from the castle is amazing, and free.

There's also several very cheap guided tour options that allow you to enter the cast buildings. I did the "History of the Castle" tour, which I found very interesting. The tour was in Czech, but we were provided an English guidebook and our guide was also very happy to answer questions in English afterwards.

Included in our ticket was entry to an art gallery that is part of the Castle, which also gave a cool overview of some of the history of Czech art, especially in Brno.

Great variety of exhibitions for the fare price of muzeum ticket. I was surprised and very enjoyed the muzeum on a rainy day. This castle is much better than Karlstein! I learned a lot of information and history, enjoyed the pictures and art, saw the prison and more. I highly recommend to spend here 1.5-2 h. It is worth visiting.

Very beautiful place to stroll around and admire the entire city of Brno.

City’s big attractions aren’t appealing to me, but I’m so glad I walked up the hill to the Spilberk Castle. Don’t pay to go inside. Simply walk the trails finding views of Brno, waterfalls, and sculptures. Then walk into the castle’s courtyard and around to see the moat and more views of the city.

Nice castle on the hill in Brno.
The view in Brno is really nice and if's free to go around the walls but there is quite popular museum that I didn't had a chance to visit.

Nice place for a family walk with a beautiful view of the whole city😊. From time to time there are some events organized there like the Witch burning event on the 30th of April that we were able to attend. There was a great opportunity to grill, try local Czech wine&beer and see the huge bonfire.

Summary and caveats: not great for kids. Great for adults *if* you like 20th century art and/or photography, or early-to-late modern artifacts like old weapons, furniture, clothing, etc. Also, skip the first floor of the museum entirely, it was really not worth the time.

We spent several hours wandering through the museum and prison. The museum was delightful, aside from the first floor which is basically a tedious collection of historical illustrations with poorly translated explanations in English. Every other floor made up for it, especially the modern art exhibit. The prison was arguably something you could skip, though I personally enjoyed walking through the long dark spaces and reading about what transpired there. If you are short on time, it's very reasonable to cut the prison from your tour.

I haven't been inside, but you can freely walk around the castle. There are stunning views from there.

Loverly visit. Very education. Pay the money to go to the Chapel. The view is outstanding in the bell tower

Peak season to explore the castle grounds. Commanding views over the city.

Definetely worth a visit but more as a walk around rayher than going inside. The castle is much more impressive from the outside than inside as well as bery is a well groomed park around it with beautiful panoramic views of the city.

A must see when you come to Brno. You will have a wonderful time as you explore all the things the Castle has to offer. You have beautiful views of Brno and great picture taking opportunities!

This location makes a great hike and a couple of hours of walking around the castle ground. The view is great from all sides and you can even get lunch up there.
Would recommend as it's free

The park and castle grounds offer spectacular views of the city, for miles in every direction if you're willing to do a little walking. We were here in winter so it was rather cold (0C/32F) so bundle up as the wind can get a bit chilly.
We did the casemates/prison self guided tour, the maps and guides are offered in many languages. For this tour I would recommend paying the extra few Crowns for a tour guide as the prison can be dark and you will find yourself hovering around the lights to read about the points of interest. As it was winter, the most interesting part for me was learning about how they provided heat to the prisoners.

It was spectacular. Incredibly interesting and well maintained. The museums worth every peny but be preparedw with food and drinks because it takes a lot of time. Big congrats for the organisers.

Really great experience. Worth to visit. Guide tells you a nice story about history of the castle and you can have a nice view of the city from the tower which is on the top of the castle.

Beautiful castle and park, nice place for a walk

A stunning view of the city! After the hike uphill we had a really amazing beer. Very worth the visit!

Lovely park and castle; this is a super little hill fort, great views of Brno from the top and lovely green spaces and walks around the hill. Definitely worth an explore.

Beautiful castle - a highlight for any trip to Brno. Give yourself plenty of time for the visit as it’s large and there is a lot to see.

Lots for all the family to see and do.

Good food and drink options.

It’s surrounded by a beautiful park and has tons of viewing platforms to see all of Brno
