The Urban Planning and Development Institute of the City of Pilsen is located in the city centre, just off of Americká Street which joins the Main Train Station with Klatovská Street. If you are driving from Prague, enter the city along Rokycanská Street (I/26), which leads you directly to U Prazdroje Street (I/26). There are then two options (see map – blue or red arrows), both of which meet at the memorial on Americká Street. If you are entering the city from Domažlice / Rozvadov, Klatovy, České Budějovice, or Karlovy Vary / Žatec, we recommend you to connect up with the routes marked with blue or red arrows (depending on where you are driving from).

The city of Pilsen is easily accessible. It is located just 88 kilometres (53 miles) from Prague, 70 kilometres (42 miles) from the Šumava Mountains, 79 kilometres (49 miles) from the attractive spa town of Carlsbad (Karlovy Vary), and 74 kilometres (44 miles) from Marienbad (Mariánské Lázně). The western border is just 75 kilometres (46 mi) away from Pilsen. The D5 motorway, the most important transportation link between Prague and Nuremberg, bypasses the outskirts of the city to the south.
