Czechia – the perfect destination for beer lovers

One of Czechia’s attractions for tourists is its beer. Czechia has a long history of brewing beer and the beer industry is a big part of the country’s economy. The biggest beer festival in the world takes place in Czechia and lasts 17 days, during which visitors can taste more than 70 different brands of local beer. Czechia is also the leading country in the world when it comes to beer consumption – in 2020, a whopping 135 liters of beer were consumed per capita.

European cities contribute to tourism boom

Europe is the most popular destination for international tourism. City tourism plays a large role in this, thanks in part to the relative ease of travel for Europeans, with budget airlines offering cheaper flights for weekend getaways. Prague, the capital of Czechia, ranks among the most visited cities in Europe.
