I have to admit that I´m not the biggest fan of modern architecture and I don´t really know much about it. But since I was in Brno anyway, I thought I could see another WH site and go to the Villa Tugendhat. It´s a short tram ride from the center, or about a 25-minute walk. Frankly, I wasn´t overly impressed by what I saw, but I didn´t expect otherwise. I thought it was just an ordinary building that was pretty fancy for its time. The big room downstairs and the view of the garden are nice, though. I guess some like modern architecture, some don´t. As usual in the Czech Republic, there were guided tours in Czech only, and pretty mediocre brochures in German and English. The site is still open until the end of October before it will be closed for a few years for restoration works. Maybe the visitor services will improve then. Brno, by the way, is in my opinion quite a pleasant city (with the notable exception of the Soviet-style train station), with a huge cathedral and the impressive Spielberg fortress (now, that would be World Heritage material in my mind, but it isn´t even on the Czech tentative list...).
