    Fascinating tour, but make sure you know where to go and show up on time! Otherwise, they're pretty rude.
    A really fascinating underground tour of the complex of tunnels and small rooms that families allowed to brew beer in the 14th century dug by hand. Be warned, this tour originates from a building that is NOT within the Pilsen Brewery, but is in the old city town square, which is at least a 20 minute walk from the Brewery. We didn't realize this and by the time we found the building, our tour had started. The women at the ticket office were quite upset with us, and while we tried to explain we would be happy to join the next tour in whatever language it was in, as we realized we were late. Just a note to them - yelling at us in Czech doesn't make us understand you any better. But one employee did walk us down throught the tunnels to catch up with the English tour, which was about 10-15 minutes into the tour, although she clearly wasn't happy about doing this. Our male tour guide was wonderful - he obviously loved the history and heritage of his city. There are some extremely tight spaces to walk through, so if you have a thing for being in tight spaces underground, this might not be for you. But the few tight spaces open up into larger spaces that are not so confined. The area around the Underground Tour office is within the old city square and is beautiful!

    Beautiful
    St Bartholomew’s is most impressive from the outside (you can pay a small fee to climb to the top). The Christmas market here featured a blacksmith, and a mini petting zoo with pony/donkey/goats, as well as the usual food/drinks/souvenirs/ornaments/gingerbread. Some of the vendors are more friendly/welcoming than others.

    Highly recommended
    So much more interesting and educational then the Pilsner Urquell Brewery tour. This place provides tons of background on brewing beer with a large number of artifacts. Everything in English also.

    Lovely small square
    Christmas markets was on so nice atmosphere. Only a small square and quite quiet apart from the market, very attractive old town

    The most highly located castle in Bohemia
    This castle founded by Holy Roman Emperor and King of Bohemia Charles IV is said to be the most highly located royal castle in Bohemia, the elevation is 886 m. The castle appeared in the famous fairy tale Anděl Páně. The castle open from 10:00-17:00 in May (Monday closed. Unfortunately we came late to take the tour so we could only enjoy courtyard and have some drink in the bistro. Still we were able to see the castle from the aerial view. From the castle just follow the yellow trail up for about 10 minutes to Pusty Hradek, the ruins of fortress. From here you can admire stunning view of the castle and its surroundings. If from the car park take green tourist trail then you can finish the circuit back to car park by keep going on yellow trail. The parking is 60 CZK only day tariff available, debit card accepted

    Attractive building
    Brighter building facing the square and church. Looks like a classic old town house from a few hundred years ago but stand out

    Nice but not like the one in Paris ;)
    For 90lc, it's a small tour in the underground of the church. Some history with videos and one small expo, and the highlight are the mummies, well maintained. All in English and German explained.

    If into old castles this is a good one
    Have seen several castles so far in the Czech Republic. Czech has the most old castles in europe. This one was the largest so far. about two dollars to get in. It is in ruins but worth a visit. We took the guided tour to the top in Czech language. they will give you a paper that has the guides information for each area visited in english. They advertise english tours available but we could not get one. Easy free parking for the castle. They have coffee shops and souvenir shops on site. Would recommend if you are into old castles. Bathroom available on site with 2 kron donation. Castle just off the town square with decent restaurants on the square.

    Worth the climb. Amazing views. Lovely square in a royal town.
    Klatovy is a really lovely town with an impressive main square that features the Black Tower and the Cathedral next door.

    Also be sure to check out the White Tower a few blocks away and the church next door to it.

    Klatovy is a royal town and worthwhile going out of your way to visit.

    Great! with children between 4 and 10. Bow and arrow shooting, interactive exhibition in kitchen.
    We came here for the unique mix of old and new style castle merged in one. And yes, for the children in hopes of bow and arrow shooting. And yeehah! There were three options, for a small extra fee (40czk): regular, cross bow and a trebuchet (katapult). My children loved this place. Also the small chess like game and the exhibition with 'build your own castle' blocks got them going.

    We did not do the rest of the castle because we'd known the tours are to boring for kids. Adult me would have liked to. We skimmed the surrounds of the bridge pillars and climbed some rocks in stead.

    I would deduct a point for the restaurant where they don't have an English menu, but honestly the food looked good. Shame though we dare not gamble lunch there with the kids because of that. Possible improvement there.
    We would come again if in region.

    Good
    Very interesting place. It is not difficult to climb the mountain and the tower itself. Free. From above you can see the whole city, and on the other hand - a view of the mountains. There is a place on the tower for photography (you need to press the green button), and then upload your photos from the site, the address of which can be found there by QR-code.

    Baroque Apothecary - unusually preserved
    The baroque apothecary in Klatovy is unusually preserved. You will see many original prescriptions, bottles, medicines... The guide is passionate about the topic and knows much about medicine (ours was led in Czech). Located at the city square and worth visiting! The admission fee is 80 CZK per adult.
