Last week, I was out with my friends. When we decided to go home, it was getting pretty late, so my friends were thinking about which night bus to take. I walked them to the bus station, and they asked me which night bus I am taking. I responded by saying: \u201cNone, I am walking back home.\u201d This response got me a lot of weirded-out looks.<\/b><\/p>\n
The thing is, I haven\u2019t taken a single <\/span>tram<\/b><\/a> or bus in the past three or four months. I don\u2019t even own a \u201c\u0161alinkarta\u201d, <\/span>the public transport pass<\/b><\/a>, anymore. Sharing this information with them only got me more questions and even more vaguely concerned looks. My name is Kate, I live in the city centre, and it never occurred to me that to some people having an <\/span>apartment<\/b><\/a> in the city centre is quite unimaginable.<\/span><\/p>\n So, what are the benefits of having your home right in the heart of the town?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n N\u00e1m\u011bst\u00ed Svobody – the very heart of Brno<\/span><\/p>\n The usual follow-up question or, well, more of a statement, I get is \u201cOh my, I could never live in the city centre, it\u2019s so loud!\u201d Honestly, I\u2019ve never noticed. I like to say that Brno is a very friendly big city for people who don\u2019t like big cities. Finding your peace in the centre of Brno is so easy!<\/span><\/p>\n MOVE TO THE CITY CENTER ON KOBLI\u017dN\u00c1 STREET<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n My <\/span>apartment<\/b><\/a> happens to be conveniently a few streets away from the Lu\u017e\u00e1nky park, and whenever I need some peace and quiet, the park is here to embrace me. Whether you want a place where you can have grilling gatherings with your friends, or where you can have a beer with your friends or a peaceful place for <\/span>a yoga lesson<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, this is a spot just for you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Maybe sitting on a bench in a park isn\u2019t really your thing (all the bugs and no desk, right?). Don\u2019t worry! Finding a peaceful place for yourself in the city centre is even easier. The chances are that you are just five minutes away from a very good <\/span>coffee shop<\/b><\/a> or a restaurant. Actually, one of my favourite activities is to sit around in a caf\u00e9 and do my work\/study tasks there.<\/span><\/p>\n And are you hungry and forgot your groceries during the day? Supermarkets are always close by open until 9 PM. Is it still too late? There are at least two restaurants five minutes away from your house. So is the city centre loud? Sometimes. I suppose that you will hear the \u201eding\u201c of a \u0161alina or an occasional group of loud strangers exiting a pub more often than in the more rural areas of Brno. But not once did I think that it would be too much.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The bar that doesn’t exist – one of the most famous bars in Brno<\/span><\/p>\n Let\u2019s face it. I am a university student, and one of our signature traits is laziness. That being said, I have come to appreciate the location of my flat more than once. Tram\/bus stop? Three minutes of walking. Train stop? 10 minutes by tram. Nearest restaurant, coffee shop, tea room? Five minutes of walking. And I could go on and on. Anything that I could possibly need for my life, including my faculty AND my workplace building is within 15 minutes of walking or by <\/span>public transport<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\nThe sounds of the city<\/span><\/h2>\n
Caf\u00e9s and restaurants within reach<\/span><\/h2>\n
Great accessibility\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n
