Breclav City Guide

Jihovychod

Břeclav is a small town in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic, near the meeting point of the Thaya and Dyje rivers. It's close to the Lednice-Valtice Cultural Landscape, a UNESCO site known for historic buildings and nature. The town is quiet, with fewer services than bigger Czech cities, but good for exploring nature and local culture.
