Pilsen
Tourist information, pictures, and hotels for Pilsen, Czech Republic
 The city of Plzen is situated in the Plzen basin on the confluence of four rivers - Mze, Radbuza, Uhlava and Uslava; the river resulting from the confluence is called Berounka.
The historical core of the city of Pilsen is limited by the line of former town fortification walls. They gave way to a green belt of town parks in the middle of the 19th century. Entering the grounds of the historical center you walk through streets that still respect the original Gothic urban layout, i.e. the unique developed chess ground plan. The brewery museum It is only a miracle that the buildings which house the brewery museum and Na Parkanu pub have survived in their original form. The museum has preserved the burghers malt house, the well, the silo, the two-floor cellars and ice cellars, which dates back to Renaissance times. Today's Na Parkanu pub stands on the site of the former municipal malt house founded in 1824. The entire complex is located at the end of Veleslavinova street, formerly Dlouha in close proximity to the city wall, a section, which is part of the museum. Pilsen Zoological and Botanical Garden The 21 ha large garden is located near the centre of the city and has a varied landscape with small lakes, rocks, arboretum and parks. The Zoo has the second largest bear pit in Europe and a natural habitat for monkeys and games. A greenhouse for succulents and a special informational path about the "Evolution of Nature in the Quaternary period" can be found in the Botanical garden. Lizards living here are among the rarest animals of the world, particularly the Komodo dragons. These large lizards exist in only a few Zoos in the world. The Lochotin amphitheatre next to the Zoo is the largest natural amphitheatre in the Czech Republic. | |
