Ceské Budejovice Czech Republic

Ceské Budejovice is the administrative, cultural and economic centre of Southern Bohemia. The Czech king Premysl Otakar II founded the town at the confluence of Malse and Vltava rivers. Everyone knows the German name of this town, Budweis, for one reason: beer. Beer is still their top attraction, but this town is much more than just beer. There are many historic monuments and museums and it is a pleasant city to unwind in. The architecture and atmosphere of the old town and city centre is very charming. Medieval ground plan of the historical city centre with rectangular grid of streets has been preserved up till today. Long rows of arcades, renaissance, baroque and classicism houses and partly preserved fortifications are the most interesting sights in the old town. The heart of Ceské Budejovice is the large market square. Přemysl Otakar II Square, one of the most beautiful squares in the Czech Republic, is almost a perfect square in shape and is surrounded on all sides by Baroque burgher houses with arcades. At this square you will find the Samson fountain as well as the town hall, the most beautiful building in the square. The main church of the old town was built in the 17th century, it is dedicated to Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of the merchants. His statue stands above the middle portal. The Black Tower is the landmark of the city. It dates from the 16th century and withstood the devastating fire that destroyed most of the city in 1641. If you feel energetic you can climb the tower's 225 stairs and enjoy the fabulous view over the city from the gallery. As the birthplace of one of Europe’s finest brews, a visit to the Budvar brewery is almost mandatory. Check out the museum for a demonstration of the brewing process and a free taste!
