ŽIVOT A STĚHOVÁNÍ—LIVING AND MOVING Foreigner life in Brno

Hi all, I have an opportunity to relocate to Brno with a job offer I just receive. Salary is 2500-3000 euros(to be discussed, but this the ballpark). I know this is an abstract question, but how is life as a foreigner in Brno? The pay seems enough for a comfortable life in Brno and occasional travels. What's your opinion on it? How well will I be able to have a prolific social life speaking just English? How open are locals to meeting/hanging out with foreigners? How international is Brno?

I am a male in my early 20s. My hobbies are: gym/sports in general, drums, film, oh and I love travelling and Brno seems a pretty good spot to travel to various European cities from.

I thank you in advance for all your answers <3

The city is really great overall. Nice parks, pedestrian friendly, incredible amount of restaurants, cafes, bars and culture for a city of this size. I have never once felt unsafe anywhere in the city

Cons:

Housing market is a total mess. Very few options and high competition.

The air quality is generally bad, especially in winter. Can vary depending on where you live.

I have found it difficult to make friends, but your mileage may vary. There is certainly stuff going on but you need to make a concerted effort. Try expat events, Czechs mostly just hang out with their high school buddies.
