The best places in Budweis
The day begins with a picador
07:00 - 09:00
Future regulars, welcome to Budweis! You did very well to take the train, it will come in handy later. If you get hungry on the way, ask for a picador* at the station cafeteria. And be careful with your pronunciation, so that everyone here understands you.
(*picador or hot dog, note transl.)

It's been a really long time, but this year beer started brewing in Budějice.
1265
Beer was first brewed in Budějice on a large scale in 1795. Samson's roots also date back to this memorable year. Budějovice's citizens, who had the right to brew beer, founded a joint company engaged in brewing and selling beer.
1795
1847
Budweiser beer was enjoyed all over the world. In 1847, they began building a brewery in the Linz suburbs, where we brew Samson today.
1974
This year, Samson invented the first beer for drivers, which you still know today as the legendary Pito. The name Pito was created by combining the words "beer" and "car" as a drink intended (not only) for motorists.
2014
In 2014, Samson was bought by AB InBev and the brewery was put back on its feet. Our beer maintains its quality in every batch, I can confirm that.
