The Fortress
The fortress we are talking about is situated on the Spilberk (Spielberg) hill on the western border of the centre of Brno (Brünn) in Moravia. As the outer forifications have been razed and transformed into a park, the hill with its fortress nowadays is a popular and easy-to-reach walking destination for inhabitants and tourists. Access to the fortress is free. It is only for the museum in the catacombs, which explains the history of the fortress and its victims, that you must pay a moderate entrance fee (in 2002). Weather being fine, from the terraces of the fortress there is a splendid panorama of the city and its surroundings.

Arrival in Public Transport
Coming from the west you can choose to travel via Pragues or Vienna. From the south, Vienna is better. From the north, you should come via Pragues (north-west) od Olomouc (north-east).
