The Saku brewery has a pub where you can have lunch during the day or buy takeaway food. The weekends offer live music with ever-changing music groups. In summer, an outdoor terrace for up to 25 people provides space for not only the best beers in the Saku Brewery, but also dishes. A table for making Lego bricks is available for children. So can the whole family Visit beer museum exhibition about the history and traditions of brewing. The exhibition can also be found in the premises of the brewery pub. The best thing is the good beer coming directly from the brewery. You should definitely plan a visit.

Clementinum

The Clementinum is a historic complex of buildings in Prague. Until recently the complex hosted the National, University and Technical libraries, the City Library also being located nearby on Mariánské Náměstí. The Technical library and the Municipal library have moved to the Prague National Technical Library at Technická 6 since 2009. It is currently in use as the National Library of the Czech Republic.

Its history dates from the existence of a chapel dedicated to Saint Clement in the 11th century. A Dominican monastery was founded in the medieval period, which was transformed in 1556 to a Jesuit college. In 1622 the Jesuits transferred the library of Charles University to the Klementinum, and the college was merged with the University in 1654. The Jesuits remained until 1773, when the Klementinum was established as an observatory, library, and university by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria.
