South Moravian Region

Wine country in southern Moravia, with Brno's modern architecture and the Lednice–Valtice cultural landscape.

The South Moravian Region lies in southeastern Czechia, bordering Austria and Slovakia, and is the country's main wine-growing area. The capital, Brno, is the second-largest city, with Villa Tugendhat, a World Heritage Site, as well as Špilberk Castle and a labyrinth beneath the old town. In the south, the vast gardens of the Lednice–Valtice cultural landscape are a World Heritage Site; north of Brno, the Moravian Karst has many caves and the Macocha Abyss. Summer and autumn suit wine tasting and cycling, and autumn brings grape harvest festivals. Brno is linked to Prague and Vienna by train and bus.
