A trail maps out the locations and buildings where Janáček lived, composed, conducted, taught, heard the premieres of his compositions, met with friends, went for walks, etc.

To make it easier to get around, the individual places are numbered, and it is possible to walk to the majority of these (1 to 16), or take public transport for any longer stretches. From the first stop at Mendlovo náměstí, to the sixteenth stop (Mahen Theatre), the route is approximately 5.6 kilometres long. For the last two places (17 and 18), which are further from the centre, we would recommend using public transport. 

In addition, we offer also information on another four locations lying outside of Brno which are connected to Leoš Janáček. It only takes a few minutes on the train to Bílovice nad Svitavou and Rajhrad, or you could even go by bike. Luhačovice and Hukvaldy are further from Brno, and though they are connected to Janáček, both places are worth visiting in their own right.

As a guide on the trail TIC BRNO published a printed publication In the footsteps of Leoš Janáček. Brno City Guide. For sale in e-shop or in information centers. A small version of the guide, the brochure Leoš Janáček in Brno, is available for free in the information centers.

There are also information panels in the centre of Brno with texts, photos and QR codes referring to excerpts from Janáček's music.

You can also follow in the Maestro's steps across Brno with the Loxper mobile app. It offers two Janáček walks for free: 

The Leoš Janáček route is longer, it follows the places described here on the website and in the printed guide published by TIC BRNO.

The Discover Leoš Janáček is shorter, it only goes through the center of Brno.

Both routes include puzzles, extracts of Janáček's music and animated photographs of Janáček with audio commentary processed by artificial intelligence.
