- 8. Living and working in Brno City of Brno: Brno is the second-largest city in the Czech republic. It was founded in 1243, although the area had been settled since the 5th century. Today Brno has about 380,000 inhabitants and is situated in south-eastern part of Czech Republic, close to Bratislava, the capital city of Slovakia, and to Vienna, the capital city of Austria (both 130 km). Brno is famous for its trade fairs and motorcycling Grand Prix circuit, but it is also an interesting tourist destination. There are also situated many high schools and universities (Brno is also the city with the highest number of universities. There are currently 6 universities with 27 faculties), during the school year the city lives with night life. In the centre, you can find many restaurants, clubs and bars. In comparison with Prague, Brno is not occupied by crowds of tourists, so the visitors can feel how the real Czech life looks like. 8 © 2011 AT&T Intellectual Property. All rights reserved.

- 9. Living and working in Brno Brno also offers many possibilities of cultural enjoyment in its numerous theatres, museums, cinemas and clubs. The City of Brno regularly holds various cultural events, festivals (e.g. „Brno - City in the Centre of Europe" associated with a fireworks competition „Ignis Brunensis") as well as some notable sporting events (Brno Grand Prix of road motorcycles). Brno is also a city of modern shopping and entertainment centres. Transportation: In Brno, there is operated a system of public transport, which contains buses, trams and trolley-buses. All of these means of transport run during day in few-minute intervals. During night, there are operated only buses, which go every full hour from “Hlavní nádraží” to all parts of the city, to be returned back for next meeting on the same place. These night buses are by the people called “Rozjezd” and especially on weekends are full of people. 9 © 2011 AT&T Intellectual Property. All rights reserved.

- 10. Living and working in Brno Nightlife in Brno: Generally the clubs in Brno are not like clubs in bigger European cities. They do not have very good DJs who would prefer only one music stream, that would make the club to a drum´n´base legend. Mostly they mix up everything – oldies, pop, rock… Which can also be very funny because Czech people love to dance especially on weekends. 10 © 2011 AT&T Intellectual Property. All rights reserved.
