Introduction

Republic Square (namesti Republiky) is the center of Plzen's old town and the heart of this beer capital, with its grand scale, the towering Gothic cathedral at its center and colorful historic buildings around - showing Plzen's heritage and vitality as a West Bohemian city. The square has been the city center since the Middle Ages, one of the largest medieval squares in the Czech Republic. At its center stands St. Bartholomew's Cathedral, with one of the tallest church towers in the country. Around it: Renaissance old town hall, Baroque plague column, and varied colorful old houses, shops and palaces. Lively all day with people, shops, restaurants, cafes and beer halls (in the beer capital, a draught Pilsner is a must), plus markets (the Christmas market is especially lively). Wandering this grand, lively square is the core of experiencing Plzen.
