City & Place Guide

Beer, history, and Bohemian charm in western Czech Republic.

Plzeň (Pilsen) is the fourth-largest city in the Czech Republic, located about 90 km southwest of Prague. It is world-famous as the birthplace of Pilsner Urquell, the original golden lager that transformed global brewing in 1842. Beyond beer, the city boasts a well-preserved medieval center, vibrant cultural institutions, and a proud industrial heritage.

Plzeň served as the European Capital of Culture in 2015, sparking major urban renewal and a thriving arts scene. The historic center revolves around the vast Republic Square, one of the largest medieval squares in Central Europe. The city strikes a comfortable balance between tourism and authentic local life, making it far less crowded than Prague while offering comparable depth of experience.

•Pilsner Urquell Brewery — the iconic brewery with underground cellars and fresh unfiltered lager tastings.
•Republic Square (náměstí Republiky) — grand medieval square anchored by the Gothic Cathedral of St. Bartholomew.
•Great Synagogue — the third-largest synagogue in the world, a stunning Moorish-Renaissance landmark.
•Plzeň Historical Underground — a labyrinth of medieval tunnels beneath the city center.
•Patton Memorial Plzeň — a moving museum honoring the American liberation of the city in 1945.
•West Bohemian Museum — regional natural history, art, and cultural collections in an elegant Neo-Renaissance building.

Getting around: Plzeň has a reliable network of trams and buses operated by PMDP, covering the city center and outer districts efficiently; a single ticket works across both. The compact historic core is very walkable. Taxis and the Bolt rideshare app are readily available and affordable. Direct trains from Prague take roughly 1.5 hours, making Plzeň an easy day trip or short stay.

Best time: Late spring through early autumn (May to September) offers the warmest weather, outdoor terraces, and the best conditions for exploring the city on foot.

Local food: Try svíčková (braised beef with cream sauce), trdelník pastries, and above all drink fresh Pilsner Urquell straight from the brewery's conditioning tanks for a taste unavailable anywhere else.
