🍻 Plzeň (Pilsen) | Czechia’s Underrated Beer Paradise!

We swapped Prague’s crowds for this laid-back beer haven – and oh boy, what a delightful surprise! Here’s why you’ll love it too: ✨ Why Plzeň Shines • Pilsner beer’s birthplace (since 1842!) 🏆 • Compact old town – Gothic spires, pastel houses & zero tourist mobs • Youthful vibes – Students lounging on grassy squares with pints at noon 🍺 🎭 Top Experiences 1️⃣ Underground Tour (Must-do!) Crawl through medieval tunnels (dug for beer storage!) Ends with a free brew at a hidden pub 2️⃣ Beer Museum (Skip if short on time) Cute but overpriced – the free beer afterward saves it 😉 3️⃣ Wander & Imbibe Republic Square: Instagram the plague column & rainbow buildings 🌈 Local life: Join Czechs at U Salzmannů pub for pork knuckles 🍽️ Pro Tips ✔ Half-day enough – Perfect Prague side-trip ✔ Try “Kozel” dark beer – Less touristy than Pilsner Urquell ✔ Free treats: Some tours include beer or snacks – ask! #Plzen #HiddenCzechia #BeerLovers #SlowTravel #PilsnerUrquell #OffbeatEurope
