Plzeňsko - the Pilsen Region

The town of Pilsen is the economic, cultural and social metropolis of the gently undulating and forested region of West Bohemia. The main renown of the town of Pilsen probably stems from its locally produced beer Pilsner Urquell. The main historical sites include the town center with the cathedral of Saint Bartholomew, the historic catacombs, the Great Synagogue (the second largest in Europe and third largest in the world), the zoological and botanical gardens with a Dinosaur Park and many museum and galleries.

Popular destinations in the Pilsen surroundings include St. Peter’s Rotunda in Starý Plzenec, Radyně Castle, the monastery in Plasy, the chateaus of Kozel, Manětín, Nebílovy and Zbiroh, the water iron mill in Dobřív or the remarkable collection of Jewish monuments and sights in Spálené Poříčí and Kasejovice. The Hracholusky water reservoir and the valleys of the rivers Berounka and Střela offer excellent water sport and recreation opportunities.

In summer Pilsen becomes a popular starting point and destination for hiking and cycling trips, water sports and horse riding. Also beer connoisseurs will certainly enjoy their stay in Pilsen with its excellent beer.
