Spielberg Castle is a relatively small castle in the Czech Republic. It is mainly of a simple style. It is not as magnificent as other castles. The architectural style is very simple, but it also has its own characteristics. It is still worth visiting!

Brno's Freedom Square is a very beautiful square. There are not only beautiful sculptures and old buildings in this square, but also open-air markets on weekends. Many local citizens and tourists come here to stroll around and buy some goods they need. It is really a European square.

The bell tower is high and you feel like you are floating. There is a door on the top and you can stand on the balcony which is one meter square and have a panoramic view. It is so beautiful. Looking up and down, you feel nervous. It is worth climbing for 40 kronor and it is a different experience.

For those who like architecture, it is a must. To also get into the house, weeks , if not months before the visit it is recommended to buy a ticket, otherwise you can only look at the garden and a small exhibition.
