On arrival
Enter the Old Town Hall passage from Radnická and look up.
Look closer
Find the suspended body of the crocodile, and before moving on, note the large cart wheel hanging nearby.
The tour begins with a municipal identity crisis: all of Brno calls it a dragon, but the alleged monster has a distinctly tropical background.
Brno calls the creature suspended in the passage of the Old Town Hall a dragon. Modern research identifies it as a female Nile crocodile. The city preserves several incompatible legends about how it got here, and that mystery is essential to its character.
Accessibility at this stop
The crocodile can be viewed from the street-level passage. Viewing requires looking upwards.
