The courtyard of the brewery, the Pilsner Urquell brewhouse and part of the ancient brewery cellars form a sightseeing route that is annually passed by tens of thousands of tourists from the Czech Republic and abroad. Pilsner Urquell is still produced in the brewery cellars in the traditional way, and experienced brewers compare beer from wooden barrels with that fermented in modern cylindro-conical tanks. You will not only learn about the history of the brewery and the unique technology of Pilsner Urquell production, but you can also taste beer from wooden barrels directly in the cellars.
The history of the legendary Pilsner Urquell lager began in 1842 in the Pilsner brewery and since then its fame has spread all over the world and has become the inspiration for more than two-thirds of all beers produced in the world, which are still called pils, pilsner, pilsener.

they certainly don’t want to miss the Pilsner Fest every day of beer and the Pilsen brewery – the two-day festival offers a number of performances by music bands of various genres and a rich accompanying program on several stages every year
