Pilsner Urquell is opening a brand new home in the heart of Prague. The beer brand’s original factory is located in Plzeň, Czech Republic, but the new opening will bring their experience to travelers in the Czech capital.
The Pilsner Urquell Experience will be located on Prague’s Wenceslas Square, and will allow visitors to experience the beer brand “in an innovative sensory tour full of technologies to entertain.
Pilsner Urquell is the world’s first golden Pilsner lager and was first created in the city of Plzeň in 1842. According to Pilsner Urquell, the Pilsner beer style now accounts for 70 percent of beer drunk worldwide.
