Beroun, District town in Central Bohemia, Czech Republic.
Beroun is located where the Berounka and Litavka rivers meet, positioned at 235 meters elevation and surrounded by three distinct highland regions. The town functions as a transportation hub situated between Prague and Plzeň.
Wenceslaus II granted town privileges to the settlement in 1303, establishing its role as a strategic point between Prague and Plzeň. This royal designation facilitated its growth as a regional trading center.
The town hosts Talich's Beroun, an international music festival established in 1983 to commemorate violinist Václav Talich. This event remains central to the local cultural calendar and draws musicians from across Europe.
The D5 motorway and multiple railway connections link the town directly to Prague, offering flexible travel options. Visitors can choose between driving or train travel depending on their preference.
Three protected landscape areas converge near the town: Bohemian Karst, Brdy, and Křivoklátsko, creating exceptional natural diversity. This rare combination of ecosystems makes the region exceptionally interesting for exploration.
