Getting Around
Most of Brno's sights are within easy walking distance of the train station, although trams (
www.dpmb.cz ) will take you almost anywhere in the city within minutes. You need to buy either a 10Kč ticket for two zones (2 pásma), which will last you ten minutes without changing trams or buses, or a 15Kč ticket, again for two zones, which is valid for sixty minutes and allows changes between trams or buses. Tickets must be bought from news kiosks or yellow ticket machines and punched on board; you might want to buy a 24-hour celodenní jízdenka, 60Kč for one zone (which should suffice for sightseeing purposes), or 190Kč for all zones. A couple of trams run all night, but many have been replaced by night buses which run along the old tram routes – all gather together in front of the station on the hour, every hour. The same tickets are valid for the city's buses and trolleybuses, which congregate at Moravské náměstí and Mendlovo náměstí, though you're unlikely to need to use them unless you're staying right out in suburbia.
