South Moravia Region Travel Guide

well - breclav is a small town at the border between austria and the czech-republic. if you go by train from vienna to prague (or back) you travel over breclav.
For a short visit is it okay - but there isn´t any tourist-typical places. Some shops - but not really a sightseeing-beautiful old centrum ....

If you go there by bike, be sure NOT to drive through the pedestrian zone! Policemen there are merciless.
