We visited this castle in the afternoon for around 3 hours and went for the option of seeing tower and palace (full price of 170 CZK). We definitely recommed it!!! We very positively surprised how huge the castle is - but also it's in very good condition! Both guided tours were very interesting and the view from the tower amazing!!! If you are somewhere near this castle, it's worth a visit! ;-)

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.
