Historical traces in the Starý Plzenec area

Historical points of interest in the Starý Plzenec area include the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary and the Romanesque Rotunda of St Peter and Paul.

In the wider area southwest of Starý Plzenec, the Radyně ruins are a nearby historical point of interest. The castle was built in the 14th century under Charles IV. This means that the surrounding town and landscape add to the historical impressions, without Radyně being presented as a sight within the town.

Starý Plzenec or Pilsen as the main focus?

Starý Plzenec can be viewed as an independent historical starting point. Pilsen remains a separate city option, with its centre approximately 11 kilometres away. The right accommodation therefore depends on whether your trip focuses more on the history and cultural points of interest of Starý Plzenec or on Pilsen.

Those planning a culture-oriented family outing can include local history, the cultural walk in the Starý Plzenec area and Radyně as a point of interest in their daily itinerary. For a stay with Pilsen as the main focus, searching for accommodation in Pilsen is the alternative geographical approach. The distance describes two separate starting points, not an identical location.
