Židenice
A neighbourhood in the east of Brno: streets of apartment blocks, the Juliánov prefab housing estate and Bílá hora hill above it. It suits people who want a flat in an apartment block or on an estate in the city and don't need faculties and student life outside the window.
Královo Pole
A busy neighbourhood along Palackého třída with the Semilasso shopping centre, Královo Pole railway station and the Brno University of Technology campus around Technická and Božetěchova streets. Lots of students, shops and services, with quieter streets of apartment blocks. It suits people who want everything around them and the faculties close by.
Which to choose
Look at the rows of the table that matter most to you:
- You study at the technical university: the address check shows the trip to the faculty from a specific address; the faculties are on the universities page.
- You have children: the rows with schools, playgrounds and parks, and above all the catchment school of the exact address.
- You want shops and places around: the rows with restaurants and shops within 500 metres.
- 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.
