Every now and then I mention something about the city of Brno to my american friends and it often causes much confusion/concern, so I wanna try to make a list summary of Everything Wrong With Brno
imma start
there is a place called Hell
there is a public transport stop called Crematorium, it is named after the nearby crematorium
it is oddly easy to take the wrong tram and accidentally end up at the Crematorium
the crematorium looks like this
add more
- there is a memorial plaque in the city to a woman who fell into the ground. In 1970 (I think) the lady was standing on a bus stop when a pipe burst, the ground opened up and the woman wasn't found for like 50 years because of the extensive ancient tunnels under the city
- all the tourist atractions are super creepy. 1) the ossuary. 2) the monk mummies under a church. 3) the city catacombs. 4) the medieval prison exposition at the castle. 5) the best city museum is probably Anthropos, the archeological museum. Full of bones.
- magic mushrooms grow wild all around the city
- there is a massive underground former strip club that got turned into a tea room. It's absolutely massive and cavernous. They didn't get rid of the pool tables and erotic art but they serve 50 types of green tea and desserts.
- the nudist lake in the old quarry
- Timo, the Banksy of Brno
- numbers 44 and 84, the circular route buses which arrive in random intervals and sometimes make you get out and then get back in. All of this makes sense to us locals.
- the smoking traffic signs and other random poles
- Kamenná kolonie: the village in the middle of a massive fuckn city
- One of the biggest prides of the Moravian Gallery is the Head of Medusa by Rubens. A very creepy painting which is plastered around the city and gave me nightmares in the kindergarten
- you can buy wine from the barrel in basically every shop
- there is a fishing shop with a maggot vending machine
Ja som asi slepá a žijem pod kameňom. Brno má katakomby??? Dopravné značenia o fajčení????? Ženská v tuneloch?????
och ne, ne značky o kouření
Brno is on the next level
Can confirm that those maggots and earthworms from the vending machine are fucking mint.
But also you keep forgetting all the statues of penis imagery of Brno:
1. The dick horse my beloved
2. Mozart with adult face and child's body
3. The dildo clock that gets condom every winter
4. This executor taking away washing machine cause he is a dick
Truly city of culture
nezapomínejme na nejnovější přírůstek! Želvuška jen do 26.3. ve Vaňkovce

we are and it indeed is
Also, i just realised, brno has a school that is an ex psychiatrist hospital and i study there hehe
