Hotels near Brno-Tuřany Airport

The E76 express bus links the terminal to its terminus in front of the main station in about 20 minutes, with departures every 30 minutes and a night service (N89) during the hours when the E76 doesn't run: for anyone staying more than one night, Brno city centre is almost always the better choice, with Špilberk Castle, Freedom Square and the university district within walking distance or a short tram ride. Sleeping near the airport makes little sense given the scarcity of verifiable properties in the area: even for a dawn flight, a taxi from the centre (about 20 minutes) remains the most practical solution.
