Which to choose
Look at the rows of the table that matter most to you:
- You want shops and services around: the rows with shops and restaurants within 500 metres.
- 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, the catchment school of the exact address and the guide to the best neighbourhoods for families in Brno.
- 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.
