Turn off the motorway and suddenly you find yourself in a landscape that a little bit <strong>resembles the sun-drenched Italian Tuscany<\/strong>. Rolling green hills, endless rows of vineyards and gleaming white limestone cliffs create the perfect backdrop for slowing down and unwinding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two of us love coming here most of all in autumn, when the air carries the <strong>sweet scent of ripening grapes and young wine (bur\u010d\u00e1k)<\/strong>. We&#8217;ve fallen in love with the endless walks around the P\u00e1lava lakes, wandering the historic streets of Mikulov and, of course, the evenings spent in wine cellars. It&#8217;s simply a region that knows how to live, and the local winemakers&#8217; enthusiasm is incredibly contagious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So I&#8217;ve put together <strong>15 places we love most in South Moravia<\/strong>, from the romantic Lednice-Valtice complex through buzzing Brno to the quiet corners of Podyj\u00ed. And because so many families head here, I&#8217;ve thrown in tried-and-tested tips on what to do with kids, where to swim and where to eat well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a7130510d3fc&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a7130510d3fc\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"663\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/levandulova-pole-mikulov-starovicky.jpg\" alt=\"Lavender field in South Moravia\" class=\"wp-image-57014\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/levandulova-pole-mikulov-starovicky.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/levandulova-pole-mikulov-starovicky-300x166.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/levandulova-pole-mikulov-starovicky-1024x566.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/levandulova-pole-mikulov-starovicky-768x424.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_85 ez-toc-wrap-left counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/south-moravia-czech-republic\/#TLDR\" >TL;DR<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/south-moravia-czech-republic\/#When_to_visit_South_Moravia\" >When to visit South Moravia<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/south-moravia-czech-republic\/#Where_to_stay_in_South_Moravia\" >Where to stay in South Moravia<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/south-moravia-czech-republic\/#Where_to_Holiday_in_South_Moravia_Czech_Republic_15_Most_Beautiful_Places\" >Where to Holiday in South Moravia, Czech Republic: 15 Most Beautiful Places<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/south-moravia-czech-republic\/#1_Brno\" >1.

class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>  <strong>Best base for couples:<\/strong> Mikulov and the P\u00e1lava area offer the most romantic accommodation, endless tasting options and breathtaking views of the limestone cliffs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>Ideal for families with kids:<\/strong> Choose the area around Nov\u00e9 Ml\u00fdny or the Vranov Dam, where you&#8217;re close to both water and huge amusement parks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>Watch the 2026 dates:<\/strong> The two biggest wine festivals in the country fall on the same weekend this year, 11\u201313 September, so accommodation disappears at lightning speed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>Book ahead:<\/strong> If you want to visit Brno&#8217;s Villa Tugendhat or the Punkva Caves, you may need to sort out tickets months in advance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>Water quality:<\/strong> The Nov\u00e9 Ml\u00fdny lagoons often have poorer water quality in summer, while the Vranov Dam boasts the highest cleanliness rating.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>Kids go free:<\/strong> Few people know that children under 15 accompanied by an adult get into the gorgeous open-air museum in Str\u00e1\u017enice completely free.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_to_visit_South_Moravia\"><\/span>When to visit South Moravia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each season has a completely different atmosphere in South Moravia, and it pays to <strong>plan according to what you expect from your trip<\/strong>. Spring starts beautifully as early as March, when the area around Hustope\u010de turns pink thanks to blossoming almond trees. The traditional Almond Blossom Festival runs from 20 to 22 March in 2026 and is an absolutely perfect kick-off to the travel season for anyone who loves spring scenery. April and May then tempt you with the first open sights and cycling trips, when the routes aren&#8217;t yet bursting at the seams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Summer here is all about swimming, long bike rides and boat trips. But you have to <strong>expect really big crowds<\/strong>, especially around Lednice and the Moravian Karst. Tropical temperatures often climb towards 39 \u00b0C, so it&#8217;s worth keeping air-conditioned escapes in reserve, like caves or Brno&#8217;s underground. If you plan to swim in nature, keep a close eye on the public-health websites, because some reservoirs battle blue-green algae in August.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">September and October are the absolute peak of the season. Young wine flows everywhere, grape harvest festivals take place and the days stay beautifully sunny. For 2026, though, you have to watch out for one huge logistical trap. <strong>The P\u00e1lava Grape Harvest in Mikulov and the Znojmo Historic Grape Harvest fall on exactly the same weekend<\/strong>, from 11 to 13 September. Most hotels in both towns are hopelessly full from as early as winter, so you&#8217;ll need to pick just one event and sort accommodation well ahead. The end of October then traditionally belongs to the Open Cellars Festival, which this year falls on the weekend of 24 and 25 October.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_stay_in_South_Moravia\"><\/span>Where to stay in South Moravia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">South Moravia offers just about every type of accommodation you can imagine. For a romantic weekend for two, Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I most like to choose the <strong>area around Mikulov and P\u00e1lava<\/strong>, where you&#8217;ll find the loveliest boutique hotels and guesthouses with wine cellars. Families, on the other hand, will do well to look for a base near the large bodies of water, such as <strong>Pasohl\u00e1vky or the Vranov Dam<\/strong>. If you&#8217;d rather explore historic sights, Znojmo or the very centre of Brno make a perfect starting point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most of the region&#8217;s quality accommodation keeps to a very high standard, but in high season expect higher prices. For a double room in a nice guesthouse you&#8217;ll pay on average <strong>around \u20ac80<\/strong>, while at more luxurious boutique hotels prices climb <strong>above \u20ac120 per night<\/strong>. We prefer to look for accommodation on <a class=\"thirstylink\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Booking.com\" href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/doporucujeme\/booking-com\/\" data-shortcode=\"true\">Booking.com<\/a>, and I&#8217;ve compiled specific tips for places that have excellent reviews and where guests return enthusiastically year after year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Mikulov and the P\u00e1lava area:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stay22.com\/allez\/roam?aid=lukaskonecny&amp;campaign=loudavymkrokemcz&amp;campaign=kam-na-dovolenou-na-jizni-morave&amp;hotelname=Penzion%20%C4%8C%C3%A1p&amp;address=Mikulov%2C%20%C4%8Cesko\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow sponsored\">Penzion \u010c\u00e1p<\/a> in Mikulov is an absolute gem. With a Booking rating of 9.6 it&#8217;s among the best in South Moravia. Guests can&#8217;t praise the above-standard breakfasts and incredibly comfortable mattresses enough.

The city lives at its own pleasantly slow pace, and <strong>Zeln\u00fd trh with the Parnas Fountain<\/strong> is the ideal place to start the day with a good coffee in hand.

At the nearby <strong>\u0160pilberk Castle<\/strong> you can head into the mysterious casemates, for which adults pay \u20ac11.

When you walk along the white limestone cliffs with the vast bodies of water glinting below, <strong>you feel more like you&#8217;re somewhere by the sea<\/strong>. We love coming here in early autumn most of all, when the morning mists give way to warm sunshine and the air smells of dry grass. The whole area also offers plenty of routes you can manage even without great fitness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The classic outing is a walk to the <strong>ruins of D\u011bvi\u010dky Castle<\/strong>, which you reach via a pleasant ridge trail from Pavlov or Klentnice. Along the way, the loveliest views over the entire protected landscape area open up. A big plus is that you pay no entry fee at all for these natural beauties, and you can soak it all in for a whole day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the other end of the P\u00e1lava ridge rises <strong>Svat\u00fd kope\u010dek (Holy Hill) in Mikulov<\/strong>, reached by a Way of the Cross. The hike takes about forty-five minutes and at the top you&#8217;re rewarded with a view of the historic centre that never gets old. If you want to cool off after roaming through nature, head to the flooded Jani\u010d\u016fv vrch quarry, where the water is beautifully clear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Mikulov\"><\/span>3.

The dominant feature is, of course, the huge Baroque ch\u00e2teau, home to an excellent regional museum. Their main tour, &#8220;From Gothic to Empire&#8221;, costs \u20ac7.50 for an adult and \u20ac3.70 for children this year, with a family ticket coming to \u20ac16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you like wine, you mustn&#8217;t miss the ch\u00e2teau cellar, home to <strong>one of the largest historic barrels in Europe<\/strong>, dating from 1643. Entry to this giant cellar costs \u20ac5 and it&#8217;s a truly fascinating sight. What&#8217;s more, with an integrated transport system ticket you get a 20% discount, which is a very welcome bonus. In the evening we recommend heading to the local small winemakers, where a guided tasting costs around \u20ac8 to \u20ac12 per person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> If you want to cool off, head to the nearby Na Turoldu cave, where the temperature stays a steady below 10 \u00b0C.

The journey from the ch\u00e2teau to the scenic Minaret takes twenty minutes and a one-way ticket costs an adult \u20ac9, while for a stroller on board you pay just \u20ac2 extra.

What&#8217;s more, in 2026 it <strong>celebrates an incredible 800 years<\/strong> since being elevated to a royal town, so plenty of interesting events take place here all year round. After four long years of demanding renovation, the Znojmo town hall tower with its new gallery finally reopened this year on 2 April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Znojmo Underground, at 27 kilometres long, is the largest in the whole of Czechia. The classic tour route costs \u20ac6 and <strong>the family ticket comes to a pleasant \u20ac16<\/strong>. For the braver among you they also offer special adrenaline routes where you crawl through narrow passages, costing \u20ac8 to \u20ac12. Bear in mind, though, that the tours last over two hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Podyj\u00ed National Park draws you in with wild nature and stunning views into the deep valley. Travellers highly praise a visit to the <strong>famous \u0160obes vineyard<\/strong>, which ranks among the best in Europe. From June to September, Znov\u00edn keeps a tasting stall open here, which you can reach only on foot or by bike, since cars are strictly banned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_The_Moravian_Karst_and_Macocha\"><\/span>6.

The biggest draw is without doubt the <strong>Punkva Caves with a boat trip on motorboats<\/strong> right inside the cave passages. According to the official 2026 price list, in high season you&#8217;ll pay \u20ac18 for an adult and \u20ac8 for a child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Booking tickets here is an absolute must and in summer it&#8217;s hopelessly sold out weeks in advance. The cave administration therefore allows booking up to a year ahead. Also remember that <strong>strollers are not allowed inside for safety reasons at all<\/strong>, so for very small babies you&#8217;ll need a carrier ready. You can&#8217;t reach the caves themselves by car; you have to walk just under two kilometres or use the eco-friendly little train.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> If you can&#8217;t get tickets, head to the neighbouring Kate\u0159insk\u00e1 Cave, where entry costs \u20ac9. A cable car or the aforementioned little train then takes you up to the Macocha Abyss. A handy combined ticket for both comes to \u20ac11 for an adult and \u20ac8 for children, while the upper viewpoints above the abyss are completely free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Nove_Mlyny_and_Aqualand_Moravia\"><\/span>7.

The biggest draw here is the giant <strong>Aqualand Moravia in Pasohl\u00e1vky<\/strong>, which this year offers a full-day summer entry at the box office for \u20ac49. By buying online in advance, though, you can save up to \u20ac8 per person, which really adds up on a family trip, since the complex sells no family tickets at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Right by the upper reservoir there&#8217;s also the very popular ATC Merkur campsite, where you can swim in the local lagoons. Beach entry in season costs \u20ac5 for an adult. Unfortunately, I have to flag a big problem: the Regional Public Health Authority is reporting in summer 2026 too that the Nov\u00e9 Ml\u00fdny lagoons have <strong>long-term poor microbiological water quality<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Personally I wouldn&#8217;t really recommend swimming right in the reservoir with small children, and I&#8217;d rather choose a <strong>safe waterpark<\/strong> or drive to a different dam. But the views of P\u00e1lava across the water from the <strong>shores of Nov\u00e9 Ml\u00fdny<\/strong> are simply phenomenal, and a walk along the dam is definitely worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"8_Vranov_nad_Dyji_and_Bitov_Castle\"><\/span>8.

Unlike Nov\u00e9 Ml\u00fdny, the public-health authorities here consistently report the <strong>highest water quality rating<\/strong>, so swimming is completely safe and the water is usually beautifully warm. The local beaches are sandy-grassy and superbly equipped, and there are reliable boat and pedal-boat rentals too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Right above the river rises the majestic <strong>Vranov nad Dyj\u00ed Ch\u00e2teau<\/strong>, where you can visit the state interiors for \u20ac11. A little further upstream lies B\u00edtov Castle, where entry to the palace also costs \u20ac11. Kids will surely be intrigued by the fact that B\u00edtov holds the largest collection of stuffed dogs in the world, an absolute European curiosity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> The ideal way to combine both sights without constantly having to re-park the car is to use the scheduled boat service.

A big deal is that since the end of last year a <strong>completely new interactive exhibition<\/strong> has been running here, presenting the details of the whole battle in a very modern way and replacing the old outdated display cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new exhibition also comes with a <strong>great audio guide<\/strong> across the battlefield itself, with twenty-one stops in the landscape. According to reviews, you can turn it into a <strong>perfect family game<\/strong>, tracking down traces of history together, and kids enjoy it far more than a classic museum commentary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- LKM_GYG_CARD start q=\"jizni morave\" lang=\"en\" --><!-- LKM_GYG_CARD end -->\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"lk-stays-module\">\n<style>\n\/* \u2500\u2500\u2500 RESET PRO GUTENBERG \u2500\u2500\u2500 *\/\n.lk-stays-module * { box-sizing: border-box;

Absolutely the best way to get to know this sunny area is a <strong>cruise along the famous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.batacanal.cz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Ba\u0165a Canal<\/a><\/strong>. It&#8217;s open from May to September, and in summer the locks operate every day except Monday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An amazing experience is renting your own little motorboat, for which <strong>you don&#8217;t need any captain&#8217;s licence at all<\/strong>. They train you on the spot and then you just enjoy the calm cruise. You&#8217;ll find rentals in Vesel\u00ed nad Moravou or in Vnorovy, for example, where prices run to a few hundred crowns (around \u20ac10\u201320) per hour of sailing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tradition lovers shouldn&#8217;t miss the huge Open-Air Museum in Str\u00e1\u017enice, where adult entry costs \u20ac8. Few people know one fantastic thing: <strong>children under 15 accompanied by an adult get in completely free<\/strong>.

The Velehrad Basilica is <strong>freely accessible outside Mass times<\/strong>, and its mighty interior will literally amaze you with its grandeur.

Families rave about it here, because the site is on the smaller side, goats roam freely and kids can look at everything calmly at their own pace, without any needless rush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> Right next to the open-air museum lies the Living Water (\u017div\u00e1 voda) exhibition, where a ticket costs another \u20ac5. The highlight is a glass tunnel three and a half metres below the pond&#8217;s surface. You can safely observe huge belugas and other freshwater fish, a visual experience that will thrill absolutely everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Buchlov_Castle_and_Buchlovice_Chateau\"><\/span>12.

A walk through the old castle costs an adult \u20ac11 and children pay a symbolic \u20ac3.20, with the tour taking about an hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Down below in the valley lies its complete opposite: the <strong>elegant Baroque Buchlovice Ch\u00e2teau<\/strong>. It&#8217;s surrounded by a sprawling park full of rare trees and freely roaming peacocks. Entry to the ch\u00e2teau is the same as the castle, \u20ac11, but if you just want to stroll through the ch\u00e2teau park, you&#8217;ll pay \u20ac5 at the box office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can comfortably manage this combination of rugged medieval and ornate Baroque <strong>in a single day<\/strong>; the two sights <strong>lie so close together<\/strong> that the drive between them takes no more than a few minutes, so you can easily fit it in without any unnecessary stress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13_Valtice_and_the_Wine_Salon\"><\/span>13.

Above the town rises the beautiful Reistna Colonnade, from where in good weather you can see all the way to neighbouring Austria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the absolute phenomenon is the ch\u00e2teau cellar, home to the <strong>famous <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vinarskecentrum.cz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Wine Salon<\/a> of the Czech Republic<\/strong>. Every year the hundred very best wines from across the country are carefully selected here, and you can taste them at your leisure. It&#8217;s open Tuesday to Saturday, and in the summer season you can come on Sunday too, so you can head here almost any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to treat yourself and taste the very best, I definitely recommend <strong>buying tasting tickets online<\/strong>, as they&#8217;ll come a little cheaper.

The first village heritage reserve of this kind is the <strong>Petrov-Pl\u017ee complex<\/strong>, which dates back to the fifteenth century. The whole complex is freely accessible and you can wander the narrow lanes between the so-called \u017eudra, an exceptionally photogenic spot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This year the <strong>Open Cellars event takes place here on 25 April 2026<\/strong>, when local winemakers open their doors to the public and you can taste from dozens of different barrels across the whole village. It&#8217;s an absolutely wonderful chance to get to know the local culture up close and chat with the people who tend the vines all year round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Equally picturesque are the <strong>wine cellars in Ma\u0159atice<\/strong> near Uhersk\u00e9 Hradi\u0161t\u011b, which are best reached <strong>by bike above all<\/strong>. The local winemakers often sit outside in front of their cellars and will happily invite you in for a glass of freshly poured wine, with very reasonable tasting prices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"15_Veveri_Castle_and_the_Brno_Dam\"><\/span>15.

Entry to the Prince Vasa Apartment costs an adult \u20ac9 and children pay \u20ac2.90.

The fleet of electric boats runs from April right through to the end of October, stopping directly below the castle. The cruise takes just under an hour, it&#8217;s beautifully peaceful on board and the views of the wooded banks are pure relaxation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udca1 <strong>Tip:<\/strong> If you hold a Brno transit pass or buy tickets in advance via the Brno iD portal, you get a great 50% discount on the boat ticket.

It has 24 giant water slides, thermal pools and a great kids&#8217; rest area for the little ones. Children under six get in completely free. But I have to point out that the park offers no family entry and older children already pay the full \u20ac49. So buy tickets strictly online; you&#8217;ll save up to \u20ac8 per person and avoid the morning queues at the box office. For afternoon swimming from five o&#8217;clock there&#8217;s a discounted entry of \u20ac26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When swimming in nature, be careful and choose wisely. The Nov\u00e9 Ml\u00fdny lagoons suffer from <strong>long-term poor microbiological water quality<\/strong>, so I wouldn&#8217;t take the little ones there. A safe bet, on the other hand, is the Vranov Dam, which consistently keeps the top cleanliness rating and offers great facilities with a gentle entry into the water. A great alternative is also the chemical-free natural Biotop Bohuslavice near Kyjov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"For_the_animals_zoos_dinosaurs_and_petting_farms\"><\/span>For the animals: zoos, dinosaurs and petting farms<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a71305113cd8&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a71305113cd8\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1066\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/jizni-morava-zoo-brno.jpg\" alt=\"Giraffe and zebras at Brno Zoo (Photo: Palickap, CC BY-SA 4.0, Wikimedia Commons)\" class=\"wp-image-358908\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/jizni-morava-zoo-brno.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/jizni-morava-zoo-brno-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/jizni-morava-zoo-brno-700x466.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/jizni-morava-zoo-brno-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/jizni-morava-zoo-brno-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/jizni-morava-zoo-brno-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/jizni-morava-zoo-brno-1392x927.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When you&#8217;re out of ideas, animals always work on kids, guaranteed. <strong>Brno Zoo on Mni\u0161\u00ed hora<\/strong> costs an adult \u20ac8 and a family ticket comes to a pleasant \u20ac11. Bear in mind, though, that the grounds are set well uphill, so pushing a stroller will really work your calves.

Brno&#8217;s <strong>VIDA! science centre<\/strong> is air-conditioned and full of interactive experiments. Adults pay \u20ac10, a family ticket is \u20ac16 and there&#8217;s also a special discounted afternoon entry for just \u20ac3.70. For smaller children I recommend the huge indoor play centre Bongo Brno, where daily entry for a child costs \u20ac16, but watch out that during the summer holidays the pricier weekend rates apply on weekdays too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An escape from both rain and tropical summer heat is also the karst caves. In the <strong>Na Turoldu cave near Mikulov<\/strong>, for example, the temperature reliably stays around 8 \u00b0C. I should warn you, though, that around 350 fairly steep steps await inside, so for preschoolers it can be quite a challenge, and I&#8217;d rather choose the less demanding routes in the Moravian Karst.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"South_Moravia_with_a_stroller\"><\/span>South Moravia with a stroller<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure data-wp-context=\"{&quot;imageId&quot;:&quot;6a71305114a0a&quot;}\" data-wp-interactive=\"core\/image\" data-wp-key=\"6a71305114a0a\" class=\"wp-block-image size-full wp-lightbox-container\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1600\" height=\"1204\" data-wp-class--hide=\"state.isContentHidden\" data-wp-class--show=\"state.isContentVisible\" data-wp-init=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\" data-wp-on--load=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" data-wp-on--pointerdown=\"actions.preloadImage\" data-wp-on--pointerenter=\"actions.preloadImageWithDelay\" data-wp-on--pointerleave=\"actions.cancelPreload\" data-wp-on-window--resize=\"callbacks.setButtonStyles\" src=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/jizni-morava-lednice-park.jpg\" alt=\"Ch\u00e2teau garden in Lednice\" class=\"wp-image-358881\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/jizni-morava-lednice-park.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/jizni-morava-lednice-park-300x226.jpg 300w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/jizni-morava-lednice-park-700x527.jpg 700w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/jizni-morava-lednice-park-768x578.jpg 768w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/jizni-morava-lednice-park-1536x1156.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/jizni-morava-lednice-park-80x60.jpg 80w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/jizni-morava-lednice-park-160x120.jpg 160w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/jizni-morava-lednice-park-696x524.jpg 696w, https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/jizni-morava-lednice-park-1392x1047.jpg 1392w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1600px) 100vw, 1600px\" \/><button\n\t\t\tclass=\"lightbox-trigger\"\n\t\t\ttype=\"button\"\n\t\t\taria-haspopup=\"dialog\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-bind--aria-label=\"state.thisImage.triggerButtonAriaLabel\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-init=\"callbacks.initTriggerButton\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-on--click=\"actions.showLightbox\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--right=\"state.thisImage.buttonRight\"\n\t\t\tdata-wp-style--top=\"state.thisImage.buttonTop\"\n\t\t>\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"12\" height=\"12\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 12 12\">\n\t\t\t\t<path fill=\"#fff\" d=\"M2 0a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v2h1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 1 .5-.5h2V0H2Zm2 10.5H2a.5.5 0 0 1-.5-.5V8H0v2a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h2v-1.5ZM8 12v-1.5h2a.5.5 0 0 0 .5-.5V8H12v2a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H8Zm2-12a2 2 0 0 1 2 2v2h-1.5V2a.5.5 0 0 0-.5-.5H8V0h2Z\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/svg>\n\t\t<\/button><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plenty of places in Moravia are made for strollers, but you need to know exactly where to go. The <strong>ch\u00e2teau park in Lednice<\/strong> is absolutely ideal, because it offers completely flat, wide paved paths. And if you want to take a boat to the minaret, you&#8217;ll pay just \u20ac2 for a stroller on board, a huge advantage. Another lovely flat route is the paved cycle path through the floodplain forest to the Empire-style Pohansko ch\u00e2teau near B\u0159eclav.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Be very careful in the Moravian Karst, on the other hand. Strollers are officially <strong>not allowed in the <a href=\"https:\/\/punkevni.caves.cz\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Punkva Caves<\/a> at all for safety reasons<\/strong>, so you&#8217;ll definitely need a carrier ready for the baby. The trips across the P\u00e1lava cliffs aren&#8217;t exactly wheel-friendly either, and you&#8217;d often have to carry the stroller over rocks, so there I&#8217;d recommend heading out with bigger, walking children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_eat_and_drink_in_South_Moravia\"><\/span>Where to eat (and drink) in South Moravia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cuisine in South Moravia is a chapter all its own, and you certainly won&#8217;t go hungry here. The local classic is, of course, hearty Moravian roast pork with cabbage or all sorts of game specialities from Podyj\u00ed, which waft from every second country pub. But with our evening wine, the two of us much prefer <strong>excellent marinated hermel\u00edn cheese with fresh bread<\/strong>, which they know how to prepare absolutely perfectly in just about every cellar and which always vanishes in a flash. If you&#8217;re on P\u00e1lava, drop in for coffee and dessert at <strong>Caf\u00e9 Fara in Klentnice<\/strong>, our long-time favourite, and we once really enjoyed a tasting at the <strong>U Kapli\u010dky winery<\/strong> in Zaje\u010d\u00ed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An evening in the wine cellars is then an absolute basic of a Moravian holiday. At the local small winemakers you&#8217;ll usually pay around <strong>\u20ac8 to \u20ac12<\/strong> per person for a guided tasting. They&#8217;ll pour you ten to fifteen samples and often offer cheeses and small nibbles alongside. If you head here in September, definitely <strong>don&#8217;t miss the ever-present bur\u010d\u00e1k<\/strong> (young fermenting wine), which is deceptively easy to drink but simply an inseparable part of autumn, and we never let it pass us by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When it&#8217;s time for something sweet, Luk\u00e1\u0161 and I swear by <strong>traditional fluffy wedding pastries (kol\u00e1\u010dky)<\/strong> or plum-jam pockets sprinkled with poppy seeds, which you can grab in the local bakeries. In spring, around Hustope\u010de, we regularly sample all sorts of almond specialities you won&#8217;t find in such quality anywhere else in the country. Overall, South Moravia is a place where diet plans dissolve very quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Practical_tips_wine_transport_and_bookings\"><\/span>Practical tips: wine, transport and bookings<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>  <strong>Booking traps:<\/strong> Tickets to Brno&#8217;s Villa Tugendhat tend to sell out within moments, so you have to sort them out really far ahead. Likewise, for the Punkva Caves I recommend booking tickets even months in advance, otherwise you&#8217;re out of luck in summer. Znojmo&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/znojmoregion.cz\/cs\/rotunda-sv-kateriny\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Rotunda of St. Catherine<\/a>, meanwhile, only lets people in based on the current microclimate, so you can&#8217;t buy tickets in advance and in the rain you won&#8217;t get in at all.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>Parking in tourist centres:<\/strong> In Mikulov and Lednice, parking on summer weekends can be an absolute nightmare. In Lednice, luckily, there are six park-and-ride lots where you&#8217;ll pay around \u20ac0.80 per hour. In Mikulov, don&#8217;t try to drive right into the historic centre and use the spacious park-and-ride areas below the hill instead.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>Check the water quality:<\/strong> If you&#8217;re coming primarily for summer swimming, take a look just before your trip at the Brno Regional Public Health Authority website. The Vranov Dam usually has excellent quality and keeps the top rating, while the Nov\u00e9 Ml\u00fdny lagoons often struggle with blue-green algae and microbiological pollution.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <strong>Wine trails:<\/strong> The whole region is threaded with 1,200 kilometres of superbly marked cycle paths that lead you through the very best. By bike you can even reach places where cars are absolutely banned. A lovely example is the renowned \u0160obes vineyard in Podyj\u00ed National Park, which you can only reach under your own steam.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_to_next\"><\/span>Where to next<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>  <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/palava-czech-republic\/\">P\u00e1lava: what to do and see + 15 trip ideas<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/lednice-castle-czech\/\">Lednice Ch\u00e2teau: 13 tips<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/mikulov-czech-republic\/\">10 tips on what to do in Mikulov and the surroundings<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>  <a href=\"https:\/\/loudavymkrokem.cz\/en\/brno-czech-republic\/\">Brno: what to see and top attractions<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_asked_questions\"><\/span>Frequently asked questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wondering how the grape harvest festivals work or whether it&#8217;s worth heading to Moravia in winter too? I&#8217;ve put together answers to the most common questions I get in my messages about travelling around South Moravia.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-question-1785319381000\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_much_does_entry_to_Brnos_Villa_Tugendhat_cost\"><\/span>How much does entry to Brno&#8217;s Villa Tugendhat cost?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The basic tour circuit costs exactly \u20ac18 for an adult in 2026 and the reduced admission is \u20ac11. A family ticket costs \u20ac42. Tickets absolutely must be purchased online, many months in advance, because they disappear at lightning speed as soon as sales open.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1785319381001\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_I_bring_a_stroller_into_the_Punkva_Caves\"><\/span>Can I bring a stroller into the Punkva Caves?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>No, entry to the Punkva Caves with a stroller is officially completely prohibited for safety and space reasons. For small babies you must bring your own ergonomic baby carrier or wrap and be prepared to fit with them on the boat.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1785319381002\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When_is_the_best_time_to_go_for_burcak\"><\/span>When is the best time to go for bur\u010d\u00e1k?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Bur\u010d\u00e1k season peaks during the month of September and usually ends in early October. But be very careful about this year 2026, when both the Mikulov and Znojmo wine harvest festivals take place on the same dates, September 11\u201313, so you&#8217;ll have to choose just one of them.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1785319381003\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_is_the_water_quality_like_at_Nove_Mlyny\"><\/span>What is the water quality like at Nov\u00e9 Ml\u00fdny?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>The Regional Public Health Authority has unfortunately been issuing long-term warnings about deteriorated microbiological water quality at the Nov\u00e9 Ml\u00fdny lagoons and frequently gives a second-grade rating. For safe summer swimming with children, Vranov Reservoir with its first-class water is a much better and safer choice.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1785319381004\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_children_get_a_discount_at_Aqualand_Moravia\"><\/span>Do children get a discount at Aqualand Moravia?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Children up to six years old have completely free entry to the complex. Older children, however, pay the full adult price, as family admission doesn&#8217;t exist here at all. But if you buy tickets online in advance, you&#8217;ll save up to \u20ac8 per person compared to box office prices.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1785319381005\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Can_you_sail_the_Bata_Canal_without_a_license\"><\/span>Can you sail the Ba\u0165a Canal without a license?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes, to rent your own small motorboat on the Ba\u0165a Canal you don&#8217;t need any captain&#8217;s license at all. All you need is a valid ID, to be of legal age, and to complete a short training session right on site at the rental office, which really anyone can manage.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1785319381006\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_to_do_in_South_Moravia_when_it_rains\"><\/span>What to do in South Moravia when it rains?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>A great choice is Brno&#8217;s VIDA! science center, the huge ossuary at St. James, or the mysterious and very extensive Znojmo underground. With children you can also safely head to popular indoor playgrounds, such as Bongo in Brno, or visit the caves.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-question-1785319381007\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Where_can_you_sleep_right_in_a_vineyard\"><\/span>Where can you sleep right in a vineyard?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>One of the most beautiful experiences is the Bobule glamping in a barrel in Bo\u0159etice, where you sleep in a huge wooden barrel with a direct view of the rows of vines. The accommodation price also includes a bottle of excellent wine and a picnic basket for the evening, which is incredibly romantic.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover the 15 most beautiful places in South Moravia, Czech Republic, from romantic wine cellars and majestic ch\u00e2teaux to the best tips for families with kids.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":55215,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","rank_math_title":"South Moravia Czech Republic: 15 Best Places 2026","rank_math_description":"Discover South Moravia, Czech Republic: 15 most beautiful places, wine cellars, ch\u00e2teaux and top family tips for 2026.
