Getting there by car

January 17th, 2009

Brno is connected with Prague by the highway D1. The distance between the two towns is 220 kilometers. Road E461, only partially built as a highway, leads to Brno from Vienna, which is 110 kms away. The quickest connection from Bratislava is highway D2, the Slovakian capital is 110 kms from Brno.

In the Czech Republic, drivers must pay extra for using motorways and highways. The fee for a car under 3.5 tons is 200 CZK (Czech Crowns) per week. The coupons can be bought at gas stations and must be sticked to the lower left of the car’s windscreen before entering a highway. Fines for not having the permit are extremely high, and the Czech police are quite happy to ticket you.

There is no “park and ride” carpark in Brno. Hotels usually have their own parking facillities. If not, the only public parking house in the centre is located at Moravské Square, with prices around 30 CZK (1€) per hour, which is similar to the fees for parking in streets in the centre. Expoparking service located in the southern neighbourhood of the Exposition Ground at Výstaviště Street 1 is notably cheaper, with prices starting at 10 CZK (0.35€) per hour during the day and 2 CZK per hour at night, although during big exhibitions they rise and the garage may be full. In suburbs, parking on streets is usually free.

Streets in the city centre, bordered with Joštova Street on north, Rooseveltova Street on east, Nádražní Street on south and Husova Street on west are closed for car traffic (cars may enter the mentioned streets, but cannot go further in the centre).
