The museum details the exalted history of the Czech national digestif "Becherovka" - with Disney-like life size dioramas of the history and production of the beverage. Much is made of the "secret" recipe and how good it is for your health. The daughter of the founder is touted as an example - she had the recommended two shots per day... More

Karlovy Vary is a wonderful little place that has an atmosphere like no other. A claming little place that allows you to forget about things that are causing you stress. The colors, the people and the trees full of birds. Walking hand in hand with my beautiful wife, no matter the weather. This is my place. Stop by the Jan... More

The new citrus version of Beherovka is the best. Bought one for myself to bring to Russia. Very charming blond lady at the museum who makes excursions!

Interesting to get some history of this famous Czech spirit. Although the museum is very small it is good value for money and you get some tasting in the end.

We took the tour of Jan Becher Museum in Karlovy Vary. Tour was pretty short and we saw the movie at the end. During the movie we got to taste three kinds of famous Bacherovka. This tasting was hurried by the lady guide because we had to drink by the end of the movie and that kind of ruined the... More
