You step out of the minivan onto Republic Square and the city breathes around you — cobbled paving cool underfoot, cafés murmuring, and the Gothic spire of St. Bartholomew’s Cathedral slicing the sky. A driver-guide points out façades and local rhythms before you set off to examine the brickwork and gates of the Pilsner Urquell Brewery, where the birthplace of Pilsner beer asserts itself in red brick and ironwork.
