Brno has a significant tradition of trade fairs and congresses, however, more recently the city is focused on science, research, and innovations. It is well-known for the work of Gregor Johann Mendel who laid the foundations of genetics. Brno is also a globally significant producer of electron microscopes, responsible for 35% of the world’s production of these sophisticated imaging instruments. You can find here 14 universities and Brno is on the list of Top 10 Erasmus Cities. There are many theatres, museums, and galleries and a vibrant pedestrian-only city center relatively free of tourists.
