What to do and see in Ceske Budejovice, Bohemia: The Best Things to do Good for a Rainy Day

November 13, 2021 Jasper Kershner

Known by the German name "Budweis" in the 19th century, the south Bohemian city of Ceske Budejovice has been a center of brewing since the 13th century. The original inspiration for the American version, Budwar or Budweiser beer remains one of the most popular in the country. The vast, beautiful Námesti Otakar II square is the site of stately Renaissance, Gothic and Baroque buildings, including the beautiful 1727 town hall. Buses and trolleys link areas, and cycling paths run through the city.

The old town square in Ceske Budejovice is unique beyond belief. One of the largest in Europe. When we were there there was a festival honoring their beer, with dancing all day. Wonderful!

Outstanding. Milada gave me an hour-long trip around this fascinating place: somewhere that beer is, and always has been, of massive importance to the town and its history. Who knew? Anyway I cannot recommend this highly enough, even if all you want is to see a factory.line. Also, the museum and its displays (for example going down 350 m to the aquifer) is great too. And then there is the beer itself..????????????

Jihoceske Muzeum

Reviewed By RhinoLondon_England - Ottery St. Mary, United Kingdom

A regional museum that has rotating exhibitions (Lego was one when we were there as was another on the theatre) as well as a well displayed and informative series of exhibits telling the history of the Town up to the modern day: the panels are written in Czech and English.
