Here in Czechia, right in the very heart of Europe, we have some breathtaking architecture. Not to mention a drink with a long tradition and a famous sound. And that's beer, the golden nectar famous all over the world. It’s been brewed in Czechia for centuries, with the first lager being brewed in the 19th century in the Czech town of Plzeň. In recent years, the brewing industry has boomed, and this has brought a growing number of unique microbreweries that you can visit on your trips and roams through the countryside. And we'll show you where to go for beer trails.
