Region

South Moravia

Wine · Pálava · Lednice · Podyjí

Vineyards, wine cellars, the Pálava hills and the Lednice–Valtice Cultural Landscape. The warmest corner of the country and the shortest way from table to bike.

The Lednice–Valtice Cultural Landscape (283 km², UNESCO 1996) is regarded as the largest designed landscape in Europe. To the north-west it adjoins Pálava and the Mikulov wine sub-region, with 4,876 ha of vineyards (2025).

Brno has Villa Tugendhat (UNESCO 2001), and to the west lies Podyjí, the smallest Czech national park (62.8 km²). The Czech section of the Prague–Vienna Greenways ends in Valtice.

    How we chose

    • South Moravia is a tourist area, not an administrative region, so it has no official border. We draw it as an area around one reference point (reference point near Mikulov).
    • Facts such as areas, dates and rules come from official bodies and Wikipedia. Each one is in the source list below, with the date we last checked it.
    • Stay DNA and the “Know before you go” panel are our editorial estimates, compared with the other places in the atlas. They are not measurements or visitor ratings.
    • We name no individual hosts, and nobody pays to be included.
