This is a very special thing. It's (not astronomical) clock on Freedom square. Not like the beautiful orloj in Prague or Olomouc, no. This measures time in a very complicated way, the top is spinning and you can see some numbers and lines there. Due to celebration of resisting the swedish occupation (during 30yo war 365 years ago) the noon is at 11AM and it releases a marble you can catch and keep. It's a PROJECTILE and it symbolizes PEACE.

Also it gets a cover during New Year's eve and that blows me away definitely.😍😂https://nostrcheck.me/media/public/nostrcheck.me_7194406934760602921689856338.webp

7/ Now this is not art at all, but as far as phenomena go, Brno's night public transportation (rozjezd) is a living and manic thing. Imagine you are drunk, which is fairly easy after midnight without a car. Now ALL the busses (no trams at night) start at the same time. All seem to have some xx combination of numbers 3-6-9 and they stay in several lines so close you don't see their numbers in front and back and you definitely can't get through (use underground passage or run around it all.) They are all the same. Also you have about five minutes to find yours. Imagine you make it, it's WILD. I actually didn't make it several times even sober, it's normal.

The drivers are merciless.

Now imagine they drive like madmen through sleeping city, because they have huge area to cover (even villages around) and 55 minutes to do it. I used to sit in front, but once I saw 80 km/h down the hill in very narrow cobblestone alley filled with cars and I never took this bus again. Jesus, I was sober like never when I got out.

There's an awesome czech comics on this, it's all true. Even the ghosts and trolls, I swear. https://www.dasm.cz/clanek/komiks-brnenske-rozjezdy
