Every country has its symbols and legends and the Czech ones include Pilsner Urquell lager which has been brewed in a town called Plzen (Pilsen) since 1842. Since then the fame of Pilsner Urquell beer has spread around the world and, inspired by this exceptional brew, more than two-thirds of the beers produced today are commonly known as pils, pilsner or pilsener. The brewery tour showcases all of the authentic places where Pilsner Urquell lager has been brewed for more than 175 years, and where its story continues today. You will see the heart of the brewery - both the historical and contemporary brewhouse. You will smell and taste the raw materials that are used to brew Pilsner Urquell, and the panoramic cinema will take you through the brewing process. And at the end you will taste unfiltered Pilsner Urquell beer tapped straight from oak lager barrels in the historic brewery cellars.The brewery is open year-round. The journey from Prague takes about one-and-a-half hours and you can either travel on your own by car, bus or train.

The highlight of my time in Pilsen was the tour inside the brewery! Our guide Elizabeth was funny and very knowledgable, the beer tasting was just superb and the gift shop has some cool merch. If you go to Pilsen, you must do this tour.

The building alone was very impressive. The historical exhibits related to the history of the Jewish community in Plzen makes it quite interesting and special.

Just another fine example of a city center. The square is surrounded with interesting buildings, centered by a gorgeous church, fun art installations can be found as well. Appears the city really uses this space well for festival type events as well. Pilsen was great

This is an excellent place for children aged 5 to 95 as it is both hands on fun and really gets you thinking about the practical aspects of physics. If you thought you never understood physics at school you will come away with a better understanding as well as having had a good time. Parents with children will love it.
