Pilsen is a city in the west of Czechia. It is known for the Pilsner Urquell brewery. The breweries turned Pilsen into a beer metropolis. But the city also has more to offer, among other things, Pilsen has an old town that is well worth seeing, a historical underground, museums and a cathedral with a huge main square, the Republic Square. Also a truly remarkable cuisine with good traditional food.

In addition to a small lake and a few café’s, various gardens have also been created here. The city has a fairly good infrastructure and is easy to reach by car, bus or train. Pilsen is perfect for a weekend trip.
