If you want to learn everything there is to know about beer, come and visit the Brewery Museum in Pilsen. It is located in the Pilsen centre in a 15th-century building with an original license to brew beer, which breathes the atmosphere of the Middle Ages. The Museum tells the story of the production, serving and drinking of beer from antiquity to the present time. Visitors aged 18 and older can look forward to tasting Pilsner Urquell beer there. On your visit to the Brewery Museum, pop in the Na Parkanu taproom, with its unique atmosphere of the 1930s. Go back in time and enjoy remarkable unfiltered Pilsner Urquell beer.

This brewery museum surpassed all my expectations. It is also at the start of the underground city tour. I highly suggest doing both (and stopping at Senk Na Parkanu restaurant which is adjacent for wonderful food and beer). The beer museum is huge, over 3 stories. There are many life-size exhibits and monitors with video and narration that fully explain all aspects of beet making, which is of utmost importance in the Czech Republic. We spent an hour in the museum and then went on a highly unusual underground exploration of the ancient history of the city. I highly recommend doing both. Get your tickets for the underground tour ahead of time as they sell out (English-speaking tour is only at certain times).
