　　One of the city's leading attractions is this ghoulish cellar crypt that holds the mummified remains of several city noblemen from the 18th century. Apparently, the dry, well-ventilated crypt has the natural ability to turn dead bodies into mummies. Up to 150 cadavers were deposited here prior to 1784, the desiccated corpses including monks, abbots and local notables.

Must-see attractions
Church of St James
Brno
　　This austere 15th-century church contains a baroque pulpit with reliefs of Christ dating from 1525. But the biggest draw is a small stone figure known as the 'Nehaňba' (The Shameless): above the 1st-floor window on the southern side of the clock tower at the church's western end is the figure...

Technical Museum
Brno
　　Brno's Technical Museum highlights technical and industrial progress over the last two centuries and is worth a half-day of anyone's time. Don't miss the panoptikon on the first floor; this huge wooden stereoscope allows up to 20 viewers to look at 3D images from antique glass slides that are changed...
Vila Tugendhat
Brno
　　Brno had a reputation in the 1920s as a centre for modern architecture in the Bauhaus style. Arguably the finest example is this family villa, designed by modern master Mies van der Rohe for Greta and Fritz Tugendhat in 1930. The house was the inspiration for British author Simon Mawer...
Špilberk Castle
Brno
　　Brno's spooky hilltop castle is considered the city's most important landmark. Its history stretches back to the 13th century, when it was home to Moravian margraves and later a fortress. Under the Habsburgs in the 18th and 19th centuries, it served as a prison. Today it's home to the Brno...
Labyrinth under the Cabbage Market
Brno
　　In recent years, the city has opened several sections of extensive underground tunnels to the general public. This tour takes around 60 minutes to explore several cellars situated 6m to 8m below the Cabbage Market, which has served as a food market for centuries. The cellars were built for several...
Old Town Hall
Brno
　　No visit to Brno would be complete without a peek inside the city's medieval Old Town Hall, parts of which date back to the 13th century. The tourist office is here, plus oddities including a crocodile hanging from the ceiling (known affectionately as the Brno 'dragon') and a wooden wagon...
Cathedral of Sts Peter & Paul
Brno
　　This 14th-century cathedral atop Petrov Hill was originally built on the site of a pagan temple to Venus, and has been reconstructed many times since. The highly decorated 11m-high main altar with figures of Sts Peter and Paul was carved by Viennese sculptor Josef Leimer in 1891. You can climb...
