Pilsen, however you want it.

Welcome to the charming city of Pilsen! This picturesque town has a rich history dating back to 1295 when it was established as a royal town. Its strategic location on the crossroads of business roads and rivers brought wealth and prosperity to its people and fueled the growth of business and art. The city's industrial revolution in the 19th century gave birth to well-known giants like Skoda and Pilsner Urquell Brewery. Today, the city retains its industrial character and boasts a high level of cultural and social life. The Republic Square and its surroundings are a testament to the city's unique constructional development, which you can still witness today. The city centre is surrounded by lush parks and alleys, perfect for a leisurely stroll. You can stop at one of the many cafes and restaurants to watch street performances and open-air productions. All the sights are within walking distance, and there are various spots to catch a break and take in the breathtaking scenery. Pilsen's lively atmosphere earned it the title of 'European Capital of Culture' in 2015.
