The Czech Budweiser
  • Přemysl Otakar II Square (Czech: ), the immense square in the middle of the city. Historical landmarks here include St. Nicholas Cathedral, the Black Tower, Samson's Fountain and the distinct yellow-colored Vcela Palace.
  • Pivovar Budějovický Budvar, Karoliny Světlé 4, 705 341 or 705 347. 9AM-4PM . Take a tour of the city's largest brewery and home of "Budweiser" brand beer sold in most of Europe. Call in several days in advance to schedule a tour, or if that's not possible, tours for visitors without reservations take place each day at 2PM. Price of admission is 100 Kc/person, and visitors age 18 or over are also able to visit their beer tasting cellar. Incidentally, this is not the same as the "Budweiser" beer sold in the United States and Canada; due to trademark disputes over the name with US-based Anheuser-Busch, this is sold in the Americas under the "Budvar" or "Czechvar" names.

Made by Michael Dawes
The royal town, founded in the 13th century, is the center of the South Bohemian region, presently holding a hundred thousand inhabitants. All the houses on the large square and many in adjacent streets have arcades. A Black tower, 72 meters high, finished in 1577 dominates the town. The town hall (see picture) received its present shape in 1730. An important work of South Bohemian Baroque is the Samson fountain on Budìjovice square. The biggest of Budìjovice's churches is the St. Nicholas cathedral (beside the Black tower). This originally Gothic church was burnt out during the big town fire of 1641, but it was immediately reconstructed in the following years. There are other sights in the historical center of the town, for example, the Dominican monastery, the Virgin Mary Sacrifice church and parts of fortifications with two prismatic towers.

along the blind arm of the river around parts of the preserved city fortifications, which enclose the inaccessible bishop’s garden with the Otakarka Tower. Another fortification tower is the Iron Maiden dating back to the 14th. It is named after the instrument of torture, which was allegedly located inside and is the subject of various legends. Next to this tower is the Iron Bridge, from which there is a nice view of the confluence of the Malše and Vltava Rivers and the edge of Háječek Park on the left. Astronomy enthusiasts can visit the observatory and planetarium located here. Across the bridge on the left on Zátkovo nábřeží embankment rises the Palace of Justice.

Baroque Samsonova Kašna (Samson's Fountain) is the dominant landmark in Budweis' King Premysl Ottakar II Square depicting the biblical Samson strangling a lion with his bare hands. This masterpiece of architecture was built between 1720 - 1727 and is said to be the tallest fountain in the country. Founded in 1256, Ceske Budejovice is an administrative, economic and cultural centre in Southern Bohemia. The lovely town has quite a lot of history and is an ideal hub for one-day trips. www.c-budejovice.cz/en (recommended by PHIL'S WORLD TRAVEL)
