About Prague
Prague, a city with a uniquely preserved historical centre that is part of the UNESCO World Heritage List, is more than just pretty old buildings. Experience this great city in a more dynamic way! Biking, hiking, and canoeing are just a start, with English-speaking guides and services ready to assist. But there is more – much more.
Prague is, simply put, a beer lover’s paradise. While the pale lager - or pilsner - is still king, variety now thrives and many different kinds of beer are brewed here. There are 28 breweries and brewpubs in Prague, plus dozens of beer bars, sampler pubs, and beer-centric restaurants. Expertly run beer shops make it easy to pick up a unique, local present to take home. For this searchable database, we have selected businesses that exemplify the finest of the Czech beer tradition and reflect its ongoing renaissance. From homey to trendy, from traditional to modern: cheers!
