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.

Don’t be scared around main train station - there are some weirdly looking (and smelling people) but i think every city has homeless people around main train station. If you ignore them, they will ignore you. Other parts of city are okay and i always felt safe.

Moderate, could be better, but could also be so much worse. Through the daytime it's safe to walk around and you won't have to worry much about getting something stolen.. And when it comes to women specifically, you'll most likely get cat called and things like that. And through the night I recommend you stay out of certain areas.

Hello, my name is Kristína (22). I live in the Czech Republic (Brno), and I would love to explore the world. I'm traveling alone, but I'm open to getting some connections and maybe even some travel buddies. I like to read, get to know new cuisines and cultures. I'm an artsy person, so I tend to visit historic sites and galleries, but I don't mind spending the day on the beach. If you're in Brno, don't hesitate to contact me, I can show you around. :)
