　　Housed in a former tram depot, this 'makerspace' is a creative hub that provides working space for tech start-ups, artists and craftspeople, and houses various exhibitions of art, design and ideas for alternative lifestyles. There's also a good cafe, and a street food festival that takes place two or three times a year. It's just over 1km south of the town centre.

Must-see attractions

Underground Plzeň

　　This extraordinary 60-minute guided tour explores the passageways below the old city. The earliest were probably dug in the 14th century, perhaps for beer production or defence; the latest date from the 19th century. Of an estimated 11km that have been excavated, some 500m of the tunnels are open to...

　　Fans of early-modern architecture will want to tour this restored villa, designed by renowned architect Adolf Loos. In the 1920s and '30s Loos designed several interiors in Plzeň, though this house, created for industrialist Jan Brummel and his family, is considered the best representation of his work locally. Guided tours...

Patton Memorial Pilsen

　　The Patton Memorial details the liberation of Plzeň in May 1945 by the American army, under General George S Patton.

St Bartholomew Cathedral

　　Gigantic St Bartholomew Church looms over the surrounding facades from the centre of náměstí Republiky. The early years of the church are shrouded in mystery, but construction probably started at the end of the 13th century. The church boasts the tallest tower in Czechia, at 103m. At the time of...

　　The Brewery Museum offers an insight into how beer was made (and drunk) in the days before Pilsner Urquell was founded. Highlights include a mock-up of a 19th-century pub, a huge wooden beer tankard from Siberia and a collection of beer mats. All have English captions and there's good printed...
