The city of Pilsen has lots to offer. First of all it is a beer-brewing capital of the world - the first pilsner lager was born there. On the trip you will enjoy a guided tour through Pilsner Urquell brewery finished by a tasting session of unfiltered beer, tapped from oak barrels. Secondly it is a historically valuable city with the 3rd biggest synagogue in the world and the Cathedral of St. Bartholomew with the highest church tower in Czechia, and finally it is an industrial centre of Bohemia with the Skoda engineering company. The day’s program in Pilsen could be also adjusted to kids (Techmania science centre, the only 3D observatory in Czechia, the dinopark, muzeum of ghosts and fairy tales or zoo).
