The very climb to the Špilberk lookout is an experience! When you climb all 103 steps from the small courtyard, you will be rewarded with the most beautiful view of the whole of Brno. The historic core of the city with all its landmarks is at your fingertips, the outskirts are a stone's throw away, and in good weather you can even see the well-known silhouette of Pálava.

The only observation tower that offers a 360' view not only of the whole of Brno, but also of the entire city.

It includes entrance to the Royal Chapel and the Prismatic Tower. In the past, these areas formed a representative and defensive part of medieval Špilberk. Today we can probably do without the defensive function, but the representative spaces are still there.

The observation tower is closed in case of bad weather.

It includes eight permanent exhibitions. From history to art:
From Castle to Fortress
Prison of the Nations
Chapel of the Crosses
Brno at Špilberk
About the New Brno

Brno City Gallery: Austrian Moravia – Czech Moravia – From Modernism to the Present Day.

The newly reinstalled exhibition “Chapel of the Crosses” recalls its turbulent history and the contrast between expressions of faith and militaristic agitation.

The exhibition From Skala to Kamenka: 101 Years of the Stone Colony explores the origins of the makeshift settlement in the 1920s and 1930s, as well as the stories of its founders, who called themselves the “Skaláci”.

The main part of the exhibition is located in the Treasury Hall at Špilberk Castle. It features photographs, historical objects and audio recordings of eyewitnesses, bringing the stories of the Skaláci back to life.

The second part of the exhibition is set in the streets of the Kamenná Quarter itself. Visitors can explore it independently using a map available in printed form at Špilberk Castle or online on the museum’s website by scanning a QR code. The exhibition consists of information panels featuring personal recollections and photographs that immerse visitors in the history of Kamenka’s winding streets.

The outdoor exhibition has been open to visitors since 20 June 2026.

The exhibition Good Old Advertising takes you back to the years 1890–1945, when the workshops of master advertisers were filled with the rich scents of turpentine, linseed oil and tobacco. Although the old world of handcrafted advertising is a far cry from the minimalist grey of Apple devices and the cosy, design-focused interiors of modern advertising agencies, surprisingly little has changed in the world of advertising. You may be surprised to learn that old advertising still works, even a hundred years later.

The exhibition Good Old Advertising offers an unprecedentedly comprehensive look at the subject. More than a hundred historical advertising items will be on display, including large enamel signs, small door-mounted signs, tin advertisements, restored posters, as well as receipts and invoices. For the first time in one place, visitors will be able to see the same visual identity across several different media. This is something that has not been seen for a hundred years!
