Getting to Brno
Brno is easy to reach from across Europe and beyond, whether you’re arriving by plane, train, bus, or car. As the gateway to South Moravia, it’s well connected yet far less hectic than larger capital cities—making it an ideal starting point for a cycling tour.
Below is a clear overview of the most common and reliable ways to get here.
Arriving by Plane
Flying directly to Brno
Brno–Tuřany Airport offers a small number of direct flights, mainly from selected European hubs and seasonal destinations. While limited, it can be convenient if a direct connection aligns with your travel plans.
Flying to nearby international airports
Many travellers choose to fly into a larger airport nearby and continue onward to Brno by train, bus, or car:
Vienna International Airport – The most popular option. Brno is around 1.5 hours away by direct bus or train.
Bratislava Airport – Around 1.5–2 hours to Brno, usually via Vienna or direct bus connections.
Václav Havel Airport Prague – Roughly 2.5–3 hours by train or bus.
All three airports offer frequent onward connections, clear signage, and reliable public transport options.
