Things to do in Brno in the Winter<\/h2>\n

The cold months have arrived in the Czech Republic, and that means its time to put on our hats and gloves and see what Brno has to offer for the winter season.<\/p>\n

Although winter tends to give many of us “seasonal depression,” Brno has a variety of activities to keep us smiling during the short days and long nights of winter.<\/p>\n

Ice Skating<\/h3>\n

I love Ice Skating, its always an adrenaline rush trying not to fall, avoiding the breaks in the ice, and other people on the rink<\/p>\n

There are a few ice skating rinks in Brno that make for cheap and fun entertainment during the winter season.<\/p>\n
