Arrive in Plzeň — the West Bohemian city of Pilsner Urquell and the Škoda works — with a private fixed-price transfer from Frankfurt Airport (FRA). The 425 km route along the A3, A6, D5 (CZ) takes around 4h 20min, and your FrankfurtRide chauffeur handles everything door-to-door, with the price agreed before you travel.

Plzeň is the fourth-largest city in the Czech Republic and the capital of the Plzeň Region, about 90 km south-west of Prague and 60 km from the German border at Waidhaus/Rozvadov. Pilsner lager was born here: Josef Groll brewed the first batch at the town's new Burghers' Brewery on 5 October 1842, and the Pilsner Urquell brewery tours and historic cellars are the city's best-known sight. Emil Škoda's engineering works made Plzeň an industrial powerhouse, and their successors still build trams, trains and turbines, while the Gothic Cathedral of St Bartholomew on the main square has the tallest church tower in the country. The University of West Bohemia (Západočeská univerzita), founded in 1991, teaches engineering, applied sciences and economics on its Bory campus in the south-west of the city, and Charles University runs its Faculty of Medicine in Pilsen here as well.

The Frankfurt Airport to Plzeň transfer follows the A3, A6, D5 (CZ) corridor with consistent journey times of around 4h 20min. Your FrankfurtRide chauffeur drops you at any address in Plzeň — hotel, business, or private residence — all at the same fixed price with no detour surcharge.

Best Time to Visit Plzeň

Czech semesters keep their own rhythm: at the University of West Bohemia winter-semester teaching starts in the second half of September and summer-semester teaching in mid-February, the two moments when international and exchange students arrive with their luggage. Early October brings the Pilsner Fest at the brewery to mark the first brew of 1842, and early May the Liberation Festival commemorating the arrival of the US Army in 1945. From Frankfurt Airport to Plzeň it is 425 km and ~4h 20min via the A3 to Nuremberg and the A6 past Amberg to the Waidhaus/Rozvadov crossing, then the Czech D5; the Czech electronic vignette is included in the fixed price, and passports or ID cards should be to hand.
