The Villa is really special. It and its story would be really appriciated by true designers and some "normal" tourists like myself. More

Great visual and aesthetic experience. You need to book on the website to get a tour of the building, but visiting the garden is worthwhile, allowing you to see most of the building, and the exnibition in the basement. Im advised that if there are no places on the website, its worthwhile phoning to see if there are actually any... More

The Tugendhat Villa is finally reopened after a two year closure and a $10 million (USD) rennovation. The transformation from its condition in 2010 to now is amazing and the Czech's should be congratulated and thanked for the on-going preservation of this remarkable structure - and for making it open to the public. One of the great highlights is the... More

A house of unique style and with a moving history. After extensive and meticulous renovation, bringing it to its former beauty, one can feel its sophistication and charm, looking around at the scope of the space as well as the smallest details. A pioneering building even from a technical point of view - the basement is well worth the extra... More

The Villa is now open after a long and expensive reconstruction and restoration that cost more than 6 milion euros. It was worth the money and the wait, however, as the Villa is now being restored into its former splendor. It is an architectural miracle designed, both the building and all the décor and furnishing, by Miese van der Rohe,... More
