"What a nice place!" a Plzen Travel Page by King_Golo

I came to Plzen, or Pilsen as we Germans call it, to teach. There's a SOCRATES cooperation between my university and Zapadoceska Univerzita in Plzen which enabled me to go there for a week and teach 3 seminars (Creative Writing, Playing as a method in teaching German as a foreign language, and Songs in German as a foreign language classes)

I didn't expect too much of the city, especially as it is best known for its beer (Pilsener) and I don't drink beer. So what I expected were quite many drunk beer tourists. Luckily, I didn't meet them!
Instead, I came to a very nice city, full of beautiful art nouveau houses, street cafes and bars, many young people and much more.

I really enjoyed my time at Plzen and am looking forward to coming back next year to teach there again.

Here's a good map of Plzen.
