- 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.

- 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.

One of the few surviving buildings of this type, it kept its oblong shape and some parts of the masonry from the Gothic period.Written January 18, 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- C F146 contributionsthis synagogue was entirely reconstructed in 2014. it is located in a courtyard, you have to go through an archway to get to the courtyard. the synagogue has 3 floors and a few other areas/buildings around it. the upper 2 floors are arranged like a museum, explaining about the jewish history of the plzen region and jewish customs and traditions. the synagogue hosts some cultural events. i highly recommend visiting. it is walking distance from the historical town square. the synagogue is only open to visitors in summer months.Written October 11, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
