Day 2
Yesterday I was able to get into the Cathedral of St. Peter and St. Paul. The inside of the cathedral was ornate, though less so than I expected from the outside.
On the way back I ran into a strange art installation with a number of pig mannequins and students playing music on a small stage. I have no idea what was happening, but it sure was interesting.
I also managed to snap a quick photo of the Brno train station outside the hotel before dinner, it's actually really neat looking with bronze roof and figures.
Day 3
Today I was able to leave the office a little early and tried to visit the Capuchin Crypt, unfortunately it closed at 4:30. Then, I tried to visit the Brno Museum, but unfortunately it was also closed.
After regrouping at the hotel, I walked to the Špilberk castle, which is on a hill overlooking Brno. When I first set out, I walked up the hill to the ramparts and looked out over the city to the actual castle sitting on the next hill over.
Oops... so I started out again for the castle. The walk was steep, but luckily not too far. The castle grounds are actually a park and are completely open to the public.
The view from the castle of the city below was pretty spectacular.
After walking down from the castle, I had some great beer at a small pub and a kebab before heading home for the night.
