Travel to Pilsen and visit the Pilsner Urquell brewery
Description:
The city of Plzen boasts an interesting history. Since its founding in the 13th century, it has been inextricably linked to brewing. The right to brew a hop drink was granted to the inhabitants of the city in 1295 by King Wenceslas II. A lot of water has leaked since then and beer has been drunk no less! Now in the city is one of the largest breweries of the Czech Republic - Pilsner Urquell. During the tour you can see one of the most modern bottling shops with a capacity of 120,000 bottles per hour. Learn about the secrets of beer production. Taste unfiltered beer from oak barrels in the historic dungeons of the plant.
In addition to the delicious beer, we will pay attention to the historical center of the city.

We will see the city hall of the XVI century, the building of the episcopate and a large synagogue in the Moorish-Romanesque style.
During the tour, you will also learn where the image of the camel appeared on the coat of arms of Plzni, and get acquainted with the legends of historical dungeons.
