Villa Tugendhat, Brno

For those that landed on this google maps page because they were planning a visit I don't need to explain the facts that one can find on Wikipedia's pages or on the Tugendhat website. The added value that I want to give you in terms of review is more for those who have not researched this prior to planning a visit. Simply said a must see if you are spending some days in Brno. This UNESCO protected villa will be of interest to everyone. So not just architecture fanatics. I have done the guided tours both in Czech and English and our guides were excellent in their knowledge, their wit and their active interaction with the group. They have strict rules but they have a reason for that. Only small groups are taken at a time and without reservations in advance your chance to come as a walk-in is probably 5%. For the photo enthusiast I recommend to purchase the extra ticket for a photo pass so you can take pics. You will not regret paying the additional 200 or so CZK for the photo pass. They have several tours available. Go for the big one. It's worth it. Depending on how long you spend in the garden - which is amazing during all seasons - I would count at least 1.5 to 2 hours. Yes there is a gift shop with some fine souvenirs and literature.. then just stroll down to catch tram 5 back to the centre.. .easy. no tripods allowed in the villa.

Beautiful and inspiring design! The grounds and mini museum are inspiring in their own with great views of brno, but to walk round the interior you must book far in advance

This is a must see. It's a part of the UNESCO. The experience is just incredible. Very hard to get there. Also it's expensive. 350 czk for an adult.

It's a very nice historic place, the guide was very friendly and I enjoyed it!

Legendary building by Mies van der Rohe in Brno. The reconstruction in the past gave really authentic appearance to the house.
