Brno

Brno is the Czech Republic’s second largest city and is the economic centre of the Moravian region with a population of around 2 million people. This population is being swelled by a high number of professionals and expatriates, drawn by the fact that the city has a cosmopolitan centre while retaining an authentic Czech atmosphere. It is home to some excellent museums and the Villa Tugendhat, one of the most significant examples of Modernist architecture in Europe. Many large multinationals are coming to Brno to make the most of a highly educated and skilled workforce. Over the past 10 years, economic growth in the city has averaged more than 9% per year, a trend that looks set to continue, owing to the significant foreign investment. This all makes for a strong demand for rental accommodation. Prices of property in Brno are approximately a third of those in Prague.

Southern Bohemia

This is the region of the Czech Republic famed for its castles and chateaux, and its breathtaking scenery dotted with lakes. The natural landscape of southern Bohemia is diverse, from flat lake–land areas with vast, dense forests and meadows, to rugged mountainous topography. This is an area practically untouched by modern civilisation. There are a number of cultural and historical sights and the area offers a large range of activities to its visitors, such as walking tours and water sports or visits to historical towns, castles, chateaux and monasteries. Ceský Krumlov is one of the most popular of southern Bohemia’s towns and its centre is a UNESCO listed cultural and natural heritage site. This is also the case for the Holasovice Village with its traditional folk buildings. The chateaux Hluboká nad Vltavou and Cervená Lhota, and the Zvíkov Castle are particularly popular with tourists, as well as the monasteries Vyssí Brod and Zlatá Koruna.

Northern Bohemia

Northern Bohemia is a mountainous region which is perfect for skiers, hikers and nature lovers. It is home to many of the Czech Republic’s protected natural areas such as Jizerské hory, Luzické hory and National Park Krkonose. Preserved wooden folk buildings and stone lookout towers are found throughout the region. Mácha Lake is a natural lake, however to cater to the water sports tourism there is also an artificial lake at Holanské. The entire area has an extensive network of biking trails. Northern Bohemia is also home to one of the most popular resorts for cross-country skiing, Jizerské.
