The beer city of western Bohemia: birthplace of Pilsner, a Gothic cathedral and underground tunnels in Republic Square.

📍 Destination Overview

Pilsen, in western Bohemia, is famed worldwide for Pilsner beer. In 1842 was born here the first golden, crisp bottom-fermented lager, ancestor of most beers. A tour of the Pilsner Urquell brewery lets you savor fresh lager; Republic Square is among the Czech Republic's largest.
