Historical Underground

The underground is located in the heart of Pilsen’s Old Town, just a short walk from Republic Square. Visits are only possible with a guided tour, and tours are available in Czech and selected foreign languages, including English (check availability in advance). The standard tour route is around 800 meters long and takes about 50 minutes. Tickets can be purchased at the visitor center, and online booking is recommended during weekends and holidays. Entry includes a small tasting voucher for a locally brewed beer for adult visitors.

The underground passages stay cool year-round, usually around 10–12°C (50–54°F), so bring a light jacket even in summer. Comfortable, non-slip shoes are strongly recommended, as the floors can be damp or uneven. The tour includes stairs and narrow sections, so it may not be suitable for visitors with limited mobility. Children are welcome but should be supervised closely. Photography is generally allowed without flash. Since group sizes are limited, booking your preferred time slot in advance—especially in peak tourist season—is a smart choice.

If you are staying in Pilsen, the Historical Underground is easily reachable on foot from most central hotels. From Republic Square (Náměstí Republiky), it’s just a few minutes’ walk. Pilsen is about 90 kilometers west of Prague and can be reached by direct train or bus in roughly 1–1.5 hours, making it an easy destination for travelers exploring the region. From Pilsen’s main train station, the underground entrance is around a 15-minute walk or a short local bus or tram ride.
