Transportation in Brno

# Getting Around Brno Brno, the Czech Republic's second-largest city, offers a comprehensive public transportation network centered around trams, trolleybuses, and buses operated by the municipal transport company (DPMB). The integrated system uses a unified ticketing structure, making it straightforward for visitors to navigate the city center and surrounding districts. Trams are particularly useful for reaching key areas like the historic center, main railway station (Hlavní nádraží), and university districts. For those preferring private transport, taxis and ride-sharing services operate throughout the city, though public transport is generally the most efficient option for navigating Brno's compact urban core. **First-time visitors should know** that Brno is highly walkable in the center, with many attractions within reasonable distance of each other. The public transport system requires purchasing tickets before boarding (available at machines, kiosks, or via mobile app), and tickets must be validated upon entry. The city is well-connected by rail to other Czech cities and neighboring countries, with the main railway station serving as a central hub. **Airport tip:** Brno-Tuřany Airport (BRQ) is located about 10km from the city center. Public bus service connects the airport to the city, though schedules and current routes should be verified closer to your travel date. Taxis and private transfers are also available - check current pricing options through booking services for the most up-to-date rates and availability.
