Discover Znojmo: Rotunda, Museums and Underground

Znojmo offers a range of cultural attractions: the Romanesque paintings in the Rotunda of St. Catherine, exhibitions at Dům umění and the underground labyrinth beneath the historic centre. There is also the history of brewing and themes relating to winegrowing. If you are looking for a hotel for your stay in Znojmo, these highlights can help you organise your visits around your interests.

Art, architecture and urban history

The Romanesque paintings in the Rotunda of St. Catherine feature dynastic motifs relating to the mythical origins of the Přemyslid dynasty. Their subject tells a story of origins that is reflected in the images. Visitors interested in historical imagery will find a different perspective here than in an exhibition featuring changing themes.

Dům umění is housed in a Renaissance building and features both permanent and temporary exhibitions. The building provides the architectural setting, while the temporary exhibitions add changing content. When planning your visit, you can decide whether you are more interested in the permanent exhibition or the current temporary exhibition programme.

Znojemský hrad Castle is another cultural attraction: it is now home to the Znojmo Museum. As museum operations and access may change, check the latest access information before your visit.

Underground tours and brewing history

Znojemské podzemí is a labyrinth beneath the historic centre that developed gradually from the Middle Ages onwards. Visitors explore it on atmospheric tours. Different routes may be available at different times, so it is a good idea to check which tours are being offered for your visit.

Adrenaline Route 1 includes a Jesuit watercourse, large underground halls and shafts, as well as the “Winegrowing” and “Archaeology” exhibitions. It brings together several specific stops and themes within the underground complex. The route’s content may change, so it is worth checking the current offer before planning your visit.

The brewery exhibition in the former brewery complex offers another perspective on Znojmo’s history. It features original Škoda brewing equipment from 1930. The year refers to the equipment and makes the exhibition’s historical connection especially tangible.

Wine and tastings

Enotéka is located in the centre of Znojmo on the site of the former Znojmo brewery. Its self-service By the Glass® system offers three different tasting portions. This lets you choose between different amounts for a tasting. As the tasting format may change, check the latest information before your trip.

Together with the themes of winegrowing and archaeology on Adrenaline Route 1, this provides a distinct focus alongside art, architecture and brewing history. Enotéka and the brewery exhibition appeal to different interests: the former offers a choice of tasting portions, while the latter features original brewing equipment from 1930.

Cycling route through vineyards and heathland

The Znojmo–Šobes–Znojmo cycling route is 27 km long and passes through the Šobes vineyard. Sections run along asphalt, forest tracks and gravel. The route length and changing surfaces provide two specific points of reference when choosing your ride.

The Č. 5000+5001 NP Circuit is described differently: it runs between Havraníky and Popice, then continues to Znojmo through heathland. This lets you compare the two routes by their different features: the Šobes ride is described by its length and trail surfaces, while the other route is characterised by its heathland and the places along the way.

Whether you want to focus your stay on exhibitions, a tour beneath the historic centre, brewing history or a cycling trip, Znojmo offers a variety of themes to explore. Choose what suits your trip, and check the latest visitor information for tours, exhibitions and tastings.
