Key Motorways Leading to Brno

  • From Prague / Central & Western Czechia – D1:
    The primary east–west corridor linking Prague → Brno → Ostrava/Poland. It’s the busiest Czech motorway and the most direct route from Prague to Brno. Expect variable speeds near works or peak times.

  • From Slovakia / Bratislava – D2:
    Connects Brno ↔ Czech–Slovak border at Lanžhot, continuing to Bratislava via Slovakia’s D2. This is the straightforward approach from southwestern Slovakia.

  • From Austria / Vienna – A5 (CZ) → D52 (AT):
    Approach Brno via A5 (Nord Autobahn) in Austria and the I/52–D52 corridor on the Czech side toward Mikulov → Brno. Parts of the link on the Czech side are still being developed, but this remains the standard Vienna–Brno driving route.

  • From Poland – A1 (PL) → D1 (CZ):
    The main north–south corridor via the Gorzyczki/Věřňovice border, running Ostrava – Olomouc – Brno. Usually the quickest from Upper Silesia/Łódź/Gdańsk. Expect variable speeds near Ostrava and on D1 during peak periods or road works.
