Which to choose

Look at the rows of the table that matter most to you:

  • You want forest right behind the house: the rows with parks and forests, and the guide to Brno's green neighbourhoods.
  • You want to get to the centre quickly: the rows with the trip to the centre by day and at night.
  • You have children: the rows with schools and playgrounds, and the catchment school of the exact address.
  • Price decides: the first row of the comparison and the guide on how much rent costs in Brno.

Before you sign a lease, check the flat itself: two addresses in the same neighbourhood can differ in catchment school, the walk to the stop and how close the main road is.
