I felt very safe there are many activities. People's approach is nice. It is also close to many countries, which is a great advantage. I was able to go to Vienna, Germany and Lithuania with ease. I enjoyed every moment I lived here

I loved Brno and I really enjoyed it there. Great shopping, food, very affordable prices, beautiful cathedral, cool castle, and excellent beers. The old town is beautiful.

It depends on locality where you staying. Some parts of Brno are really nice and safe. Some other parts are more uncomfy to be there and sometimes a bit dangerous for lonely woman (like “Cejl” or “Štěpánská” street)

I think Brno is one of the most safest city in Czech Republic. But we also have dark places.Fortunately I haven’t got much bad experience with some attack or theft. But to be sure I have pepper spray.I feel safe 8/10 here.

About me

My name is Jana. I like learning languages, science, vegan brownies & cookies and the TV show „Avatar - The last airbender“. I have done an Erasmus in Spain and have also done an exchange in France and Canada, so I like international vibes. One important part of my life is environmental protection, which is what I study at university and what I dedicate my free time to. I am introverted but longing for adventure.
