Villa Tugendhat

Villa Tugendhat has been on my list for years, but I never made the trip to Brno until now. It completely exceeded expectations. It’s huge — a dream for anyone who loves modernism and mid-century design. The views of the city and the surrounding park are stunning. The only caveat: the gift shop could use better designed merch, especially for a site this iconic. A must see visit in person

A real must see when visiting Brno! The almost 100 year old villa is a design phenomenon with its breathtaking interiors, furniture and technology! Also a big shout out and thank you to our guide Sophia! 🥰 It was really nice to chat with her and her tour was nicely executed.

The most impressive Mies van der Rohe villa I've ever visited. Overwhelming in its sheer size. The mandatory guided tour is of appalling quality. A young woman babbled indistinctly in a flat voice. The previous guide and his group ignored the allotted time, forcing our group to wait interminably and then being rushed through the villa at breakneck speed. Then there's the morbid realization that the Jewish initiators and residents, like virtually all artists in Czechoslovakia, even Cápek himself, were murdered by German Nazism.

Amazing experience! An absolutely iconic building – Villa Tugendhat is a must-see. We only joined the outside tour, but the whole experience was much more than I expected. The architecture and atmosphere are truly breathtaking. Our tour guide was also fantastic – even though we booked in Czech (the only option available), we were kindly given information in English as well. A big thank you to our guide on August 19th at 10:30, who gave us extra explanations in English – it made the visit even more special. Highly recommended!

we were able to get last minute tickets for the outside tour. very informative and well worth it. thoroughly enjoyed. highly recommend.

It was a shock for me to see such a futuristic villa in 1930 by the master Meis Von Der Rohe The main feeling it’s one floor amazing Design But soon you will see it is 2 floors I couldn’t get inside as it is Monday I had to sleep over on Brno to get inside it tomorrow It’s a must see for any architect or designer or art lover The round glass by the door is so advanced by that time and the opening through the building into the garden and the mountains of Brno is so advanced and timeless

UNESCO World Heritage site. An absolutely must-see building designed by architect Mies van der Rohe. A quiet and relaxing place. We were only able to visit the exterior since the interior tours are fully booked three months in advance. Downstairs, there is a small shop with a few exhibition pieces and souvenirs

Unlimited budget, unlimited mind...Outstanding experience...;) And extraordinary important place for Czech and Slovak statehood...;)

Wowza! If you are near Brno...you have to check out this house! You need to reserve your tickets beforehand (like months), which we did not know, otherwise you only get to look at the house from the outside. We just walked around and were glad we did. Such a cool house with great architecture and style. I wish we had known the proper way to plan because I'm sure the inside would have been well worth it! The gift shop on the back side of the ground level is worth the stop in. Reasonably priced souvenirs/information to take with you as a memory. I would love to see this next time I visit. The neighborhood surrounding the property is really pretty with lots of great houses to see on your drive in and out too.

What a special place to visit in Brno. If you want to experience a tour, it's highly encouraged that you reserve at least 1-2 months in advance. Tours are between 8-10 people per hour, it sucks cause it makes it difficult to get a reservation but at the same time it's awesome cause you get a very small and private your where you can access every room and corner of the house. What is Vila Tugendhat? It's Mies Van Der Rohe's European masterpiece built in 1929 for the Tugendhat family, who appreciated modern architecture.

An architectural masterpiece that unfortunately is manged by such a dismissive management. Only garden tours are available (with tickets ordered through mostly unfriendly, grumpy staff), and visits needs to be made three months in advance (despite of not seeing such a crowd over tours).

Unforgettable experience, architecture, art, design, history. I definitely recommend both professional and amateur visitors.

I was able to make a reservation less than a month before my visit by begging via email. Otherwise it is recommended to make reservations at least two months in advance and the others there when I was agreed with me about this. The tour was in English which was a boon to me, I speak no Czech at all. The price for the tour is very reasonable as almost everything in Brno has been. The house is incredible, words can't describe how amazing it is. The spaces, the views, make you want to live there. However, it is clearly not lived in, not one bit of clutter at all. But the mechanics of the house make you long to have a house like it. The windows, the air conditioning, the beauty of it all, makes you want it all. They have done a beautiful job with the renovation, replicating the furniture and wall coverings so well. The staff is very good, helpful and knowledgeable. This alone is worth a trip to Brno, a place I hadn't heard until recently and didn't think to visit till I got this chance. People are very pleasant and accepting of our language deficit. I would give this site ten stars if I could.
