Thanks to its myriad attractions of all kinds, the Pilsen Region is a highly appealing destination for visitors from around the world. Some come for the unique monuments and to get to know life in Czech cities; others head to the lovely, often pristine outdoors along its mountainous borders. Still others indulge the urge to crisscross this diverse landscape with quaint villages, solitary churches, chateaux and castle ruins. However, what has brought our region so much fame, especially its metropolis, is beer - that low-alcohol fermented beverage - a certain Czech symbol. Indeed, whether by the name Pilsner or Pils, our beer is known throughout the world! [en]
