Brewery or museum? The ages old question asked by sensible…read moretourists while planning travel itineraries. This place is a mixture of both... sort of. It's a beer museum! :) (Yay!!!) ... that doesn't serve beer. :( (womp, womp.) But it's actually still pretty cool... probably better if you can read the native language, though... but we still had fun. If you're really into brewing, you could spend 1.5-2 hours here perusing the many levels easy. If you're just there for the heck of it, 45 minutes it's probably good. Things to know: // It's not free, admission runs about the cost of what a movie would cost you. A fair price, I'd say. // It's more historic than novelty. // Not at all hipster-y like you'd expect. // It's set up kind of like a multi-level labyrinth with ups and downs at every wall so going through is never boring. // They have a whole big area at the end that's a children's playground with some beer-themed play things. Teachin' 'em young. Awesome. // SOME of the figures are animatronic and some are not. They bait you by showing you a bunch of mannequins that don't move, then BAM, you walk into a quiet room and all these robots start canoodling and making noises and drinking beer and it WILL scare the sh*t out of you, but once your heart stops beating out of your chest and your friends stop laughing at you, you'll appreciate the humor of it. // Has a lot of info about the town, the Czech Republic, and Europe in general, so even if you don't care about beer, you can enjoy the historic portions of the museum. // It's attached to a bar, so you can go get your booze fix after, should you so desire.

Apparently since the medieval times Plzen had an elaborate set of underground passages, sometimes…read moreforming three overlapping levels in depth. The passages were dug mostly for storage, although water control and siege protection also played some part. A small part of these passages has been restored, even smaller part is currently accessible for organized tours with a tour guide, departing approximately once per hour. Tours are mostly in Czech; these can be used by non-Czech-speakers via the use of audioguides; few time a day the tours are held in English, German, and Russian. The cost of the tour is approximately $10, this includes a coupon for free (small) beer in the nearby restaurant. Expect walking for about 1 km in a hardhat provided by the tour, in temperatures reaching 55F, on occasionally wet - but not flooded - floors. The tunnels themselves are quite interesting due to their elaborate structure; the museum placed some artifacts into the niches previously used for the storage, so one would also learn a bit about the Plzen's history. Definitely worth visiting if you are in Plzen for some other reason.

There honestly isn't too much exciting for adults, which is why it gets 4 stars, but it is very much worth a trip if you have kids. The exhibits have signs in Czech and English so you won't have to worry about missing something. They have a dining area, lots of lockers for bags and a coat check. Plenty of bathrooms all over the place. The parking was super convenient and cost 40 czk. It isn't too far from the main bus station. Definitely a winner.

Then poof, the lightbulb not only comes on, but it explodes! I'll check out the Walhalla Museum that everyone has been raving about. Actually, there's a little hyperbole thrown in there. No one is raving about it. In fact, I think it's one of those awesome sites that are rarely mentioned. Which is just odd, because it's truly breathtaking! The views are amazing! The magnificence of the grand structure! All Roman Empire like reminiscent of a coliseum. It's seriously cool! Yes, there's an entrance fee to go inside, but if you just wanna soak up the view? Totally gratis! If you're in the area, you so wanna check this place out.
