Pilsner Urquell Brewery
The most popular attraction in Pilsen nearly since it opened in
1842, the Pilsner Urquell Brewery produces the Pilsner beer that
the town has become known for. Visitors can tour the modern
breweries, which also contain some of the original equipment, and
learn about the brewing process. Pilsner also offers tours for
underage groups. The site also contains a brewery museum, which has
a replica of a 15th-century brew house and exhibits on beer and
drinking history going back to medieval times.

Language
Czech is the official language but English and German are
also widely spoken.
Money
The official currency is the Czech crown, locally known as the
Koruna (CZK), which is divided into 100 haler. Most credit cards
including American Express, Diners Club, Visa and MasterCard are
accepted, but it is best to have cash handy when travelling away
from Prague and the main tourist centres. Travellers cheques and
foreign currency can be exchanged at banks, bureaux de change and
some hotels; commission is highest in hotels. Banks are closed on
weekends. ATMs (known as 'bankomats') are becoming more common in
Prague and are probably the best way to obtain local currency at a
good rate and without commission. The Czech Republic is still cheap
compared to the rest of Europe, though the gap is closing.
