Capitals of culture

Pilsen (2015)

Pilsen aims at winning the prestigious title “European Capital of Culture 2015”. But the mere winning of the title and the historically unique and rich cultural programme that will possibly bring success in the competition in 2015 are not the only objectives in the development plans of the town. On its way to the title, Pilsen wants to transform considerably, to enrich the life of its citizens, and to enthuse visitors.

The projects the implementation of which is being prepared within the candidature process (see the “Investments” section) will make of Pilsen a representative, pleasant place - the future Capital of Culture.

The Idea of New Pilsen

  • Superb place for living and entertainment - a complete transformation of the town’s image towards visitors, investors and citizens, a point on the cultural map of Europe.
  • Attractive tourist destination - high-quality services in tourism, cultural and experience products.
  • Town as an urban jewel - negotiable, full of life, an open-air gallery of contemporary architecture and art
