Plzen Underground, Czech Republic

From series “Unbelievable Underground Mini-Cities”
Year: 14 century. Lenght: 19 km.

The Czech Republic has an underground city Plzen that is famous for its 19-kilometre length tunnels. Earlier these complicated basements were used for product storages, sometimes locals used them for evacuation during the aggression upon them. This underground city has a great number of interesting legends. One of them says that the underground has treasures. The complex system of underground labyrinths was constructed even in the 14th century. Hundreds of years there were placed craft producers and a small wine factory.

Walking around the undergrounds, you can see a lot of saved technique equipment, the sewerage system, dumb wells and even huge wine pipes. It is quite hard to walk alone in the Plzen undergrounds, tunnels are rather twisted and it is easy to get lost. A walk with an organized excursion is much better. With a group of tourists, you will see outstanding places of the underground city and know about the original purpose of different facilities. Next - Odessa catacombs

Top destination around Plzen Underground - Plzen


Plzen is a large commercial, industrial and cultural center of Bohemia. The city is often referred to as "the deposit of beer," because one of the most popular and internationally famous breweries is located here. Plzen has quickly gained popularity among fans of this amber drink, but beer is not the only reason why thousands of tourists try to get to this beautiful city.

Despite the fact that Plzen was badly damaged during the Second World War, a part of the cultural and historical heritage was saved. One of the main attractions is located in the center of the city. This is the Church of St. Bartholomew. The height of one of the church’s towers reaches 102 feet. This is the tallest building in the country. Several more old buildings can be seen near Republic Square. Here you will also see the local City Hall - a beautiful building in the renaissance style. West Bohemian Gallery is also located nearby. Here are kept the works of famous medieval Czech painters, as well as paintings by made contemporary authors.

Your excursion to the Museum of the Underground Tunnels will be one of the most exciting events. Of course, no excursion route can be done without visiting the local brewery. Within just one hour visitors will get acquainted with the technology of brewing; they will be able to explore the process in details and, of course, take part in the tasting of the prepared product. On the territory of the factory is located a museum that will provide visitors with the information about the history of the brewing business and will demonstrate curious collections of equipment and other attributes associated with beer. One of the most popular bars in the city is located near the factory. The beer here is always fresh and the atmosphere is relaxing and calm. If you manage to visit Plzen in October, you will be able to take part in a large celebration - Beer Festival.
