　　Plzeň's most popular attraction is the tour of the Pilsner Urquell Brewery, in operation since 1842 and arguably home to the world's best beer. Entry is by guided tour only, with at least three tours daily in English (1pm, 2.45pm and 4.30pm). Highlights include a trip to the old cellars (dress warmly) and a glass of unpasteurised nectar at the end. Book online or buy a ticket at the gate. The brewery is 300m east of the centre.

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.
