The road from Prague unwinds through open fields and gentle lowlands until Pilsen’s brick roofs and the Mže River push into view—an industrial city that still smells faintly of malt and iron. In an air-conditioned car you arrive in about 1.5 hours; the day unfolds as a compact loop through brewery steam, medieval stone, and concert-ready synagogue halls.
