Plzeň is a centre of business in the western part of the Czech Republic.
Since the late 1990s the city has experienced high growth in foreign investment. In 2007, Israeli mall developer Plaza Centers opened the Pilsen Plaza, a 20,000-square-metre (220,000-square-foot) shopping mall and entertainment centre featuring a multiplex cinema from Cinema City Czech Republic.Plzeň produces about two-thirds of the Plzeň Region GDP, even though it contains only 29.8% of its population. Based on these figures, the city of Plzeň has a total GDP of approximately $7.2 billion, and a per capita GDP of $44,000. While part of this is explained by commuters to the city, it is one of the most prosperous cities in the Czech Republic.
The Škoda company, established in Plzeň in 1859, has been an important element of Austro-Hungarian, Czechoslovak and Czech engineering, and one of the biggest European arms factories.

5.00Eva was a wonderful tour guide and went out of her way to help us plan the excursions to the Underground and the Pilsner Urquell tours. In fact, she helped me plan another excursion the next day even though it was not her responsibility to do so!
It was a great day! Eva and Lucas were so accommodating, fun and knowledgeable.

5.00Eva - our tour guide, is so knowledgeable about her surrounding areas. It took us a little over an hour drive to reach Pilsen, she was giving us local information all along the way. But let me back up a bit, this tour covers various stopping points (which is purchased separately-which is a good thing as you don't have to buy all of them) We just purchased the Brewery tour and the underground tour. We skipped the Synagogue, Church and museum. She filled the time showing us around Pilsen square and we decided to have a light lunch at the "pharmacy" Lekarna Restaurant , which is a local pub. It was excellent The Underground tour was very informative and quite an underground maze to which one could get lost and how it was utilized is a mind of geniuses. The Pilsner Urquell Brewery was a great informative tour giving all the history of beer coming to its perfection as we see and drink it today. All the brewmasters coming together with their combined knowledge. Eva was amazing, as we kinda changed up the plans a bit by not purchasing all the tickets She made it happen and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and had a great experience. And let me add, we had to change the date kinda last minute as our flights were delayed and cancelled by 2 days. She accommodated us without any issues. The driver that she hired - Lucas, was always there and waiting for us, even as our plans changed by the hour. Thank you both. We were hesitant as there weren't any reviews to check, which is sad. People rely on reviews, just take a moment and reflect how important it is to have somebody share with you their country and that we are a guest . Melissa and Gerry
