Staropramen Brewery Tour

Price: From £10
Duration: Approximately 50 minutes
Tour Times: Open daily, 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM (check for English tour times; advance booking recommended)

The Staropramen Visitor Centre, located in Prague’s historic Smíchov district, offers an immersive and interactive brewery tour perfect for beer and history enthusiasts. The experience takes you through the story of Staropramen, from its founding in 1869 to the present day, guided by the legendary brewmaster Josef Paspa (via multimedia presentation). The tour concludes with a tasting session, where staff serve Staropramen beers in Czech-crafted tasting glasses.

The interactive exhibition features audiovisual displays, historic brewing equipment, and insights into the brewing process, though it is more a visitor experience than a traditional working brewery tour. The tour lasts about 50 minutes, with the option to enjoy Czech and international dishes paired with Staropramen beers at the on-site bar or restaurant.

For groups, the Visitor Centre can be rented for private or corporate events, including guided tastings and custom catering for up to 250 guests. There is also a gift shop offering branded glassware, souvenirs, and beer-related gifts.

Advance booking is recommended, especially for English-language tours, which are typically offered at set times (commonly 10am, 1pm, and 4pm, though schedules may vary). Group rates may apply for parties of 15 or more.
