A Day in Žatec

5.00I had a solo trip to the UNESCO area of Žatec that was very enjoyable. This tour is run by Martin’s business and he was my guide for the day. Being a newer UNESCO Site, tourism has not fully taken over the town, we I got a look at a quaint Czech town that was largely untouched by tourism. We had the opportunity to learn about all things beer and the history of the region, along with Žatec’s role in films. Martin was very knowledgeable about the production of hops and its role in beer production. We also had a chance to sample some local beers, see a beer themed astronomical clock, and eat traditional Czech food. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in beer and UNESCO World Heritage Sites, especially before the area becomes crawling with tourists.
