Welcome to the City of
Ceske Budejovice
Southern Bohemia Region of Czech Republic
(approx. 140 kilometers from Prague)
The South-Bohemian capital with a population of 100000 inhabitants - Ceske Budejovice (Budweis) was founded by the Bohemian King Premysl Otakar II in year 1265 on the confluence of the Malse and Vltava rivers as a royal city so the king could strengthen his position of power in Southern Bohemia.
The strong fortifications made the city a strategically important place during the Hussite Wars and 30 Years' War.
The 16th century brought Ceske Budejovice unprecedented prosperity and considerable profits flowing into the city coffers particularly from the local silver mining as well as from the beer brewing, fish farming and the salt trade.
The 19th century (characteristical for its revolutionary technical progress) resulted in a fresh impetus for the development of trade and industry. The horse-drawn tramway (erected between 1825 and 1832 as the first on the European Continent) linked Ceske Budejovice to the city of Linz (in Austria), and together with the Vltava Waterway accelerated the transportation of goods. New enterprises were established such as a pencil factory, breweries, utensil factory and so on.
The 20th century brought further intensive development and Ceske Budejovice became the true economic and cultural capital of Southern Bohemia.
