BEER TOURS · BREWERY TOURS IN THE CZECH REPUBLIC
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 11 brewery tours in the Czech Republic worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
See Pilsner Urquell’s brew houses, bottling plant, ingredients, and historic cellars on a 100-minute guided tour. English and German guides explain the beer’s story, ending with unfiltered lager from a wooden barrel. Guides such as Patricia, Miroslav, and Oldrich have earned especially warm praise.
“It was really a quality program. Enjoyed it so much.”
At Staropramen’s Smíchov visitor center, follow an interactive self-guided tour through the brewery’s story and brewing process. Josef Paspa, a historic brewmaster, leads the presentation. Finish with one beer or four tastings, then add a Czech meal at the bar.
“the information part was a good amount of time and wasn’t boring. i thought the best part was the tasting at the end.”
Spend about three hours and 15 minutes walking through Prague, stopping at three changing microbreweries for at least nine beer samples, Czech appetizers, and unlimited traditional beer at the final stop. Guides such as Marek, Patrick, Vojta, Martin, and Samuel add local history and brewing insight.
“Our host and guide, Vitek, was terrific company, very charming and articulate about all things Czech beer!”
Spend about 8.5 hours outside Prague with guides such as Jan or Petr. Hike 3.5 km through Prachov Rocks, eat lunch in a 14th-century castle, then taste local lager, dark beer, and IPA in Lomnice nad Popelkou.
“We had the best day ever, would highly recommend! We were put at ease straight away with how nice and welcoming Jan was from the start. The food & beer were lovely and was a very beautiful hike.”
Join a private Segway outing from Malá Strana, with a minibus transfer, safety training, and a route through Prague’s western districts. You’ll see Castle viewpoints, Strahov Monastery, St. Norbert Church, Villa Müller, parks, and a 15th-century brewery. Guides such as Sebastian and Abdul have earned praise for friendly, helpful service.
“Sebastian was a phenomenal tour guide - suggesting the trikes was great and we thoroughly enjoyed his explanations of Prague history, the scenic views on the trail he provided and his professionalism was exlemperary!”
Visit Plzeň’s Brewery Museum in a preserved 15th-century brewing house. See medieval cellars, an old malt house, historic pubs, and the world’s smallest jug. Your ticket includes a 0.3-liter Pilsner Urquell tasting for visitors aged 18 and over, with SmartGuide content in English or German.
“Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, kein großes Museum in der Gegend. Keller. Ein kostenloser Becher natürliches böhmisches Bier für Feinschmecker wie mich. Einen Besuch wert. Ich empfehle es. Ich habe es ohne einen Führer getan.”
Travel from Prague to Pilsen and Nizbor for two Czech specialties: Pilsner Urquell beer and hand-cut Bohemian glass. You’ll tour the brewery, sample fresh beer, eat a three-course lunch, and watch glassblowers at work. Small-group and private options are available, with guides such as Peter, Jan, and Fabrizzio assigned on different departures.
“This was a wonderful tour and we all had a great time!”

“Excellent tour, lots of great information and well done. Who knew that all the Pilsner Urquell in the world comes from this region!”
