From the travel guide. Select a place for details, a map and what is nearby.
Kostel svatého Jakuba
A lovely main square with a Gothic church.
On the town hill (Městská Hora), approx. 10 mins walk from the town center, is where three bears live in an enclosure. Jakub, Vojta and Matej are movie stars from bedtime stories. After filming, they were found a place to live in Beroun, as the town´s symbol is a bear. Medvědárium is now a favourite place to go for an afternoon walk with the family - there is a children's playground, a kiosk and a modest lookout which you can climb.
Grandad
On the top of the hill, there's another lookout, this time without the offer of a lovely view as the surrounding trees are now higher than the lookout.
Žebrák is a ruin by all standards, however Točník is still in reasonable shape and open to public.
If you want to see (and taste) something unique, don´t miss this family brewery (Beroun Bear) The brewery is somewhat hidden in the areal of old sugar factory. Seeing it from distance, you would hardly guess that it is located here. The brewery-restaurant is a huge place with more than 80 seats with very traditional (but not tacky) decoration. Own beer and wide selection of own beers makes this restaurant great place to stay.
