Brno & Beyond with your class

Brno is the kind of destination that surprises every group that visits. The Czech Republic's second city packs an extraordinary range of experiences into a compact, walkable centre, from a UNESCO-listed Modernist villa to a baroque ossuary holding the remains of 50,000 people. Two full-day excursions take the adventure further: a guided hike through the Moravian Karst to the Macocha Abyss and Punkva Caves, and a trip to the UNESCO Lednice estate by bike.
