Trips with Bartholomew, the Camel

The city of Pilsen itself as well as its vicinity invite visitors to come and see plenty of interesting locations. They are so many that one day may not be enough to see them all. Both, locals and visitors who do not know Pilsen may thus appreciate our “Family Package” – a tip for a long weekend in Pilsen with a trip to the surrounding country.

Those who would like to get to know Pilsen in detail and perhaps to enjoy a bit of competition too – trips with Bartholomew, the camel may be the right thing to do.
