Plzeň Region

The Plzeň Region extends over 7,561 square kilometers of diverse landscapes, from dense forests to fertile valleys, with the city of Plzeň as its administrative center.

The region gained administrative status in 2000, building upon centuries of industrial development centered around brewing, engineering, and the establishment of the Škoda Works factory.

The seven districts of the region maintain distinct traditions through festivals, exhibitions, and events that showcase local crafts, music, and folk customs throughout the year.

The region connects to Bavaria through an extensive network of roads and railways, making it a key transportation hub between the Czech Republic and Germany.

The Plzeň Region maintains 50.2% of its territory as agricultural land while housing the world's first pale lager brewery, established in 1842.
