The West Bohemia industrial city where Pilsener was invented, about an hour and a half from Prague, in addition to having plenty of historic architecture and culture (in fact, it was an official European Capital of Culture in 2015) is as mentioned above the home base of the world’s currently best known Czech beer, Pilsener Urquell, as well as Gambrinus, Radegast, and Velkopopovický Kozel – all brewed at the Plzeňský Prazdroj brewery, where you can tour, taste, take beer classes, and visit a brewery museum.
