Brno is located halfway between Vienna and Prague which makes it very easy to travel to Brno. In most cases students are responsible to travel to and from Brno themselves. 

Flying

There is an airport in Brno, however the only connection is with Milan and London/Stansted. Therefore, it is easiest to arrive at Vienna’s Schwechat if travelling straight to Brno after, or you can travel to Prague’s Vaclav Havel airport. On top of that there Bratislava airport serves a few European destinations (and Dubai). All three options provide connections to Brno, however Brno is closer to Vienna and typically the travel time is shorter, and there are direct connections from the airport to Brno. It is also possible to travel in Prague, however it will always be necessary to transfer in the city Prague. You can travel from Vienna or Prague using RegioJet, FlixBus, and České dráhy can be used for finding connections to Brno. Gepard Express is also a great option from the Vienna airport to Brno. This website will also help you arrive to Brno.

Traveling by Bus or Train

Brno is very well connected to cities around Europe by bus and train. There are two bus stations in Brno, RegioJet and Flixbus  usually drop off at  Grand Hotel bus station in Brno, while other companies usually stop at Zvonařka bus station. RegioJet, FlixBus, and České dráhy can be used for finding connections to Brno. This website will also help you arrive to Brno.

Traveling from Vienna (detailed information)

If you are arriving to Brno from VIENNA you can also take a bus or a train. Gepard Express is also a great option from the Vienna airport directly to Brno (about 2 hours). Numerous buses a day leave directly from the airport in Vienna, some options are with RegioJet and FlixBus on the way they stop close to the centre of Vienna (at the “Stadion” metro station).  The journey lasts around 2 hours 20 minutes from the airport, or an hour 50 minutes from downtown Vienna. There are also direct trains daily (from Wien Hauptbahnhof = main train station) that cover the distance between the two cities in around 1 hour 30 minutes. There are a few direct trains from the Vienna airport to Brno a day, but typically you will first need to travel from the Airport to the train station, but this is easy. 

Traveling from Prague (detailed information)

If you fly to PRAGUE and you intend to travel immediately to Brno, take either a train or a bus. If you decide for the train, the most convenient is an Airport Express. The Express leaves the airport every 30 minutes and brings you to Prague Train Station (“Hlavni nadrazi”) from which you can take a direct train to Brno (there is a train nearly every hour). There is no need to buy tickets in advance – you can buy them from the Airport Express driver and then at the train station. The whole journey (even with the transfer) takes about three-four hours, depending on how long you have to wait for a train. If you prefer traveling from the airport to Brno by bus, take RegioJet. It does not travel directly to Brno – you will have to transfer to a different bus at the Prague central bus station but this is easy to do as it is the same company and the buses arrive to and leave from the same station. Tickets can be purchased on-line or right at the airport, however we advise to purchase them in advance to ensure a space. The whole journey (even with the transfer) takes about four hours.
Both options are comparable in length and also cost about the same so it is really up to you and whether you prefer taking a bus or a train.

If planning on spending some time in Prague before going to Brno, you can travel to Brno by train (from the main train station – “Hlavni nadrazi”) or by bus from the central bus station, which is situated at the Florenc metro station.
