Plzeň's most popular attraction is the tour of the Pisner Urquell Brewery, in operation
since 1842 and arguably home to the world's best beer. Entry is by guided tour only,
with three tours in English available daily. Tour highlights include a trip to the old cel-
lars (dress warmly) and a glass of unpasteurised nectar at the end.
