Tour description
We’ll begin where Czech lager first flowed in the capital: just a few streets away from the city’s original Pilsner taps. From there, we’ll wind through hidden passages, leafy courtyards, and local-favorite spots to enjoy perfectly poured pints of light and dark lagers — always from trusted taps, always where locals drink.
This experience is about quality over quantity: a beer-tasting journey shaped by local knowledge, not by trend or hype. You’ll learn how Czech lagers are traditionally poured — in a way that avoids excessive carbonation and ensures a crisp, balanced pint — and enjoy a guided sampling of classic pub snacks: marinated cheese, pickled sausage, herring, beer-whipped Limburger, and chlebíčky (open-faced sandwiches).
We’ll visit one of the oldest inns in the city, still standing near the Estates Theatre where Mozart premiered Don Giovanni, and pass through a historic gallery to reach a beloved beerhouse recently saved from closure by its regulars — a rare example of a classic Prague pub surviving in the heart of the Old Town, yet almost entirely off tourists’ radar.
The walk ends at Pivovarský dům, a well-known New Town brewery that’s undergone a quiet revival under new ownership. Once a fading spot, it’s now become a standout destination for beer lovers, offering both traditional Czech lagers and imaginative seasonal brews. With its warm atmosphere and strong kitchen, it’s an excellent choice for guests who’d like to stay for a hearty Czech dinner after the tour.
