Brno


This popular student cafe-restaurant is situated on the ground floor of the Jan Hus Congregational Church, a landmark functionalist building from 1929. The architecture and location, close to the university, lend an intellectual atmosphere. Take the tram to the Antonínská stop, turn left into Smetanova and then right into Botanická.
