2. Gallery of Steel Figures
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 847 reviews
Gallery of Steel Figures is an interactive and original exhibition in the centre of Prague. Our steel figures are inspired by characters from cartoons, sci-fi, fantasy, fairytales, pop culture as well as animals and hits from the automotive world. You can touch, climb in and sit on all the figurines and of course, take pictures with your favourite superheroes or childhood friends. And the good part is, all exhibits are made from recycled steel parts! Which means, we managed to make scrap and metal waste into art! We exhibit over 100 figures on 1200 m² and two floors in a beautiful art noveau building in the historical centre of Prague. If you get tired, you can rest at our café on the 1st floor and have a cup of coffee, homemade lemonade or a delicious fresh pizza. We also offer a large selection of original souvenirs for you to bring back home. We hope to welcome you soon!

This is a really fun, hands-on gallery of life sized metal sculptures including cars, bikes, movie and cartoon characters. They let you sit and climb and pose with everything including the Iron Throne and Thor’s hammer. This is definitely the most fun I’ve had in a gallery maybe ever. I’d imagine kids would love this.

This Gothic church, located in the middle of a cemetery, dates from the end of the 13th century; in 1698, it was rebuilt in the Baroque style. Sedlec ossuary, a small chapel located in the graveyard of the Church of All Saints, is decorated with the bones of more than 40,000 people.

It was quite a unique experience, there are 9 bone chapels in Europe. It has a great history behind it. The church is decorated with bones and skulls. IT is creepy and fascinating at the same time to see and walk around the church. It is a must visit and is hardly an hour drive from Prague.

Took a day trip from Prague to this old town as there are so many photos & bloggers reviews about it. It’s really worth a visit although it’s a 3hours ride from Prague. CK castle of course is the no 1 attraction if you want to have a panoramic view of the whole town. You can take a leisure walk around the castle compound where each & every corner gives you different view of the Old Town. Take a short climb to the top of the tower of course is the only way to have a panoramic view of the scenery.It’s definitely a wonderful place to visit !

This neo-Gothic cathedral is famous for the bells that always ring noon at 11 A.M., a tradition that dates back to a 1645 siege by the Swedes.

1. Having occupied the hilltop at the southern corner of Brno and with both towers open to the public (requires ticket), the cathedral offers a magnificent view to the city (only the Spilberk Castle’s watchtower offers a more comprehensive outlook in this respect, having occupied another hill more overlooking to the whole city). 2. The church dates back to the 11th century but the main building and artistic elements are developed much later. The interior is built by the 18th-century Baroque architect, M Grimm. 3. Having finished the main halls, you’ll realize you can’t find the entrance to the towers. For to reach that entrance you’ll have to brace the snow again – enter through a side-gate outside. Ticket office to both the towers and treasury to be found mid-way as you walk up the stairs. 4. It is not uncommon for cathedrals to showcase their treasury. And it is even more strategic to include it as part of your tower ticket. 5. As you go up the flights of stairs, exhibition boards will tell you how the church comes into its being, how the bells are to be used three times a day to indicate the prayer times, the shortening of the southern tower to make the two equally attractive, and so on. 6. And then the same boards appear again and again repeating themselves on the top decks. So that you’ll not be excused to miss a single detail. 7. After you’ve visited one of the towers, go through the door to reach the opposite side. The corridor can be in complete darkness if the doors on both sides are closed. 8. On both sides of the corridor there is a trick step to punish the hasty and those with Vitamin-A Deficiency. ‘Be careful’. 1.

8. Pilsner Urquell Brewery
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 1,737 reviews
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.
