One of the most cool summer events in Brno is the Festival of the Planets at Brno Observatory and Planetarium (Hvězdárna a planetárium Brno). The exhibition is in open space at Kraví hora park and you can enjoy the display of the Astrosphere, Terralón, Temnalon and Lunalón.
Festival of the Planets
The festival is open from 05-11 of August. This is a good opportunity to enjoy a relaxing evening with your friends, family, kids or even just on your own. The best time to visit the park is during the evening so you can see the inflated models shining and giving space to your fantasy to fly in the universe without limits. For all astronomy enthusiast out there this is an event that you will not want to miss. The models are the perfect background to take some awesome pictures and play with the light and shadows that are created during the night.
Everyday the exhibition is available from 14:00 to 23:00. I suggest to go there by using public transport since it is not possible to find a parking lot in this area. You can go to Brno Observatory and Planetarium from Main Train Station (Hlavní nádraží) by tram 4 direction Náměstí Míru. The last stop is your destination. You can come back to city centre with the same tram 4 or with the night bus N89 after 23:00.
Letní kino
Summer cinema (Letní kino) is another event that is available in the same area. For all movie lovers every day from 5-11 of August you can enjoy a movie in open air and practice some Czech as well. The movies are in English audio but with subtitles in Czech so you can try and improve you skills. It takes a lot of concentration but every master was once a beginner.
These are the movies that will be shown everyday:
August 5: The Thing (1982)
August 6: Passengers (2016)
August 7: Guardians of the Galaxy: Volume 3 (2023)
August 8: I Robot (2004)
August 9: Avatar (2009)
August 10: Dune: Part Two (2024)
August 11: Oppenheimer (2023)
The movie starts at 21:00 and usually it last approximately till midnight. I suggest to take some picnic blanket to sit on the ground or maybe some camping chair/stool or something similar. It is good to take with you some snacks or drinks as well and enjoy the movie with your favorite people.
