Travel
There are several airports around Brno; http://whichbudget.com can be used to see which budget airlines operate flights to a destination; for your convenience, the airport names below are linked there; http://skyscanner.net can help you finding non-direct connections. For information about booking the train or bus tickets, follow the links in the rightmost column.
Airport (code, people transported/year) | Distance from Brno | By bus (time, price one way) | By train (time, price/price back | Detailed instructions |
---|---|---|---|---|
Brno (BRQ, 0.5 mil.) | 0 km | |||
Bratislava (BTS, 2 mil.) | 130 km | 2:30 EUR 9 | 2:00, EUR 7 (return EUR 9.90) | Bratislava -> Brno |
Wien, Vienna (VIE, 18 mil.) | 150 km | 2:40, CZK 310 (EUR 12.70) | 1:40, EUR 27/EUR 9 | Vienna -> Brno |
Prague (PRG, 13 mil.) | 210 km | 3:30, CZK 200 or 150 (EUR 8.20 or 6.15) | 3:40, CZK 314/175 (EUR 12.80/7.15) | Prague -> Brno |
Note: the times include the time needed to get from the airport to the railway or bus station.
There are no relevant return discounts for trains, and the budget airlines often offer no return discount as well, so there is little incentive to use the same airport for both direction. Thus it might be a good idea, for example, to visit Vienna during your return journey; for details, see Vienna -> Brno.
