Brno (/ˈbɜːrnoʊ/ BUR-noh,[4] Czech: [ˈbr̩no] (About this soundlisten); German: Brünn [bʁʏn]) is a city in the South Moravian Region of Czechia. Located at the confluence of the Svitava and Svratka rivers, Brno has about 400,000 inhabitants,[5][6][7] making it the second-largest city in the Czech Republic after the capital, Prague.[8] Its metropolitan area has around 600,000 inhabitants.

Brno is the centre of the Czech judiciary, with the seats of the Constitutional Court, the Supreme Court, the Supreme Administrative Court, and the Supreme Public Prosecutor's Office, and a number of state authorities, including the Ombudsman,[9] and the Office for the Protection of Competition.[10] Brno is also an important centre of higher education, with 33 faculties belonging to 13 institutes of higher learning and about 89,000 students.[11]

Brno Exhibition Centre ranks among the largest exhibition centres in Europe.[12] The complex opened in 1928 and established the tradition of large exhibitions and trade fairs held in Brno.[13] Brno hosts motorbike and other races on the Masaryk Circuit, a tradition established in 1930, in which the Road Racing World Championship Grand Prix is one of the most prestigious races.[14] Another cultural tradition is an international fireworks competition, Ignis Brunensis,[15] that attracts tens of thousands of daily visitors.[16]

The most visited sights of the city include the Špilberk castle and fortress and the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul on Petrov hill, two medieval buildings that dominate the cityscape and are often depicted as its traditional symbols. The other large preserved castle near the city is Veveří Castle by Brno Reservoir.[17][18][19] Another architectural monument of Brno is the functionalist Villa Tugendhat which has been included on the UNESCO list of World Heritage Sites.[20] One of the natural sights nearby is the Moravian Karst. The city is a member of the UNESCO Creative Cities Network and has been designated as a "City of Music" in 2017.[21]
