JAN BECHER MUSEUM
The delicious Karlovy Vary liqueur Becherovka has existed for
more than two centuries and it streamed into the world from
a factory whose construction had been initiated by Jan (originally
written Johann) Becher in 1867 for almost two thirds of this imposing
time. There is Jan Becher Museum here now which
attracts thousands of visitors every year. They have succumbed to
the charm of the Becherovka liqueur and want to get some information
from its life, smell its history, and throw some light on the
mysteries it is veiled in. You can see historic exhibits in the
museum, e.g. ancient barrels with bright decoration, glass curved
lines of old bottles or yellowed paper of labels. You will go to see
original factory rooms and cellars, will see a unique film and
taste some specialities from the bar of the museum. Finally you
can go to the shop and buy the Becherovka liqueur, respectively
other products from the wide assortment of the firm at advantageous
prices. Some souvenirs connected with the Becherovka
factory can be bought only here.
The museum can be found in the main street –
57 Masarykova Street. It is open daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Guided tours are in Czech, English, German and Russian.
