- DebLJRaleigh, NC123 contributionsSo 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.

- scvroseFiddletown, CA1,305 contributionsWe loved the town square in Plzen and the start of the christmas market. Anchoring the square is the fabulous church. It is impressive inside and out.

- scvroseFiddletown, CA1,305 contributionsA very pleasant and peaceful square in the middle of the old town. Lots to see and do here. We were lucky to catch the beginning of the Christmas Market and enjoyed several mulled wine. Plenty of restaurants and shops around the square as well.Written November 19, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- scvroseFiddletown, CA1,305 contributionsLocated on the main square near the cathedral, this monument is a sober reminder of how the plague devastated this town and many towns in Europe.

- StanduManHastings on Hudson, NY205 contributionsHaving attended Catholic school as a child, I had to go see the Infant Jesus of Prague when visiting Prague. Unlike when I was a child, however, I read up on the statue before viewing it. It's a 16th century 19" high wooden statue covered in wax of unknown origin. Since its origin is unknown, legends about its creator, its owners, and its healing powers have emerged over the centuries. Anyway, back to the sight. The statue seems to attract two types of people. First are the faithful; they kneel before the statue to pray and contemplate. They are silent and reverential. Second are the tourists: they walk in, position themselves for a selfie in front of the statue, snap the selfie, and leave the church. They display no reverence and chat among themselves. I found the visitors more interesting than the diminutive statue.Written October 27, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Perry BSydney, Australia2,603 contributionsThis was a great church to visit; it was very redolent of Bohemian history and was a place of contemplation and grave reverence.

- duhozBeroun, Czech Republic7,526 contributionsWe visited all the 3 tours currently offered to see the Santini’s masterpiece, The most important rebuilding took place in the Baroque period by architect was Jan Blažej Santini Aichel. You to the meditation chapel of St. Bernard, the Capitular Hall, and visit the hospital wing, where you can see toilets with the direct flushing to a canal of the Střela River. During the tour you can admire nice Baroque frescoes. The every hour guided tour is in the Czech language but the texts in English or German available Convent fee for adult 160.- CZK. But we started the tour in Basilica of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary with a small tour before the mass which starts at 11:00 on Sunday with the entrance otherwise the tours stats every quarter of an hour from the ticket office in the convent (100,- CZK) no online tickets, just direct purchase. You can see nice baroque altars, pulpit, confessional, organ and paintings by painters Karel Škréta, Petr Brandl and others. Again the guided tour in the Czech language with the texts in English or German.
The real highlight was as was the water system tour, which is exclusive tour for which you have to buy the ticket online but only for scare terms and limited number of visitors (up to 15) although the tour can be ordered for groups with a minimum number of 10 people. During the tour you will see the result sophistication of Baroque engineering. As the grounds are on very unstable marshy subsoil. the building was built upon 5,100 oak piles to which were surrounded with water to preserve this wood in its foundations and the stable water level must be maintained. You will also learn about an air system which helps to reduce humidity and heat the building. During the tour you can pass through some of the underground air corridors where you have to be equipped with a helmet, take a torch. Be prepared fort confined spaces and possible anxiety. You can see a little bit from this tour while visiting the Convent tour.
Parking available just near the entrance, you can also walk around the city or visit Chancellor Metternich's tomb. You can easily spend all day here. I recommend to visit another nearby Baroque masterpiece work from Santini Matianska Tynice which used to be connected to Plasy monastery (10 KM away, or 5 KM on the bike).Written August 13, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Right after a tour in the Pilsner Urquell brewery, I crossed a small bridge and I arrived at the Doosan Arena - home of FC Viktoria Plzen - the local football team. The stadium is medium size, very well organized, fantastic hospitality (food, catering, drinks and etc.). Easy access. Nice football atmosphere. Very good beer!Written May 7, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
