With the  White Carpathian national park and the trans-Carpathian cycle routes nearby, Uherský Brod has become a tourist attraction.
The town has a local brewery, Janáček, that supplies mainly in the region.
The name is often confused with Leoš Janáček, a Czech composer, but the two have little in common.
On a hill above the town is an observatory from 1961, having been funded and built entirely by the town's residents.
As of 2009 the observatory had plans for a large planetarium to help it with its educational message.

Uherský Brod is a possible birthplace of John Amos Comenius.
However, most likely it is just a place where he spent a part of his life.
There is a museum and a secondary grammar school that bear his name.
The link to Comenius was the reason for the twinning of Uherský Brod and Naarden in the Netherlands, where Comenius is buried.
