In general, the most popular among tourists in the Czech Republic are zoos, in the south of Moravia there is a Brno zoo. 267 thousand visitors came there. “Although the Brno Zoo was closed due to covid in the first quarter of 2021, we recorded a slight increase in the total annual attendance. We attach this to the fact that people considered the garden area to be a safe environment in this respect, “said spokeswoman Monika Brindzáková.
The Brno Zoo has prepared a novelty for this year’s summer holidays in the form of an adventure zoo bus. “It will travel from Svobody Square, through the monastery garden on Mendel Square to the Brno Zoo on Mniší hora,” Brindzáková described. It will start operating on Friday.

Lednice Castle ranked fourth in the category of the most visited tourist places in the region. Last year it was visited by 237 thousand visitors, in the past it even exceeded the limit of four hundred thousand. “This year, the number of visitors is about the same as last year, maybe a percentage lower. There have been a lot of trips, foreign and retirement tours, “said the school girl Ivana Holásková.
According to her, it is caused by rising prices. “For example, petrol or diesel have risen in a rapid way, people are probably starting to save,” says Holásková.
The significant decrease in foreign guests was also confirmed by the director of Czech Tourism, Jan Herget. This year, he expects that about five million of them will visit the Czech Republic. “However, there will still be tourists from Asia and Russia, who made up almost twenty percent of the guests,” he said.
The Brno economist Petr Pelc expects a drop in attendance at destinations in southern Moravia this year. “There will be less interest compared to the previous two years and certainly less with the time before the covid. It will be more expensive, people will have cultural monuments more in the necessary items, “he commented.
