Rokycany: Kostel Pany Marie Sněžné - Masarykovo náměstí - Malé náměstí

Among the cities of the Plzeň Region, Rokycany stands out for its setting on the Klabava River beside the Brdy uplands. The river corridor and nearby wooded hills give this part of western Czechia a distinctly inland character, while Plzeň lies to the west. Rokycany’s compact historic core centres on Masaryk Square and the Church of Our Lady of the Snows. The town is associated with Jan Rokycana, a major figure in the 15th-century Hussite movement, who was born here. Routes along the Klabava lead beyond the central streets into the surrounding countryside. Browse other webcams across the Plzeň Region to place Rokycany in the wider geography of western Czechia.

The river valleys of western Bohemia define much of Plzeň Region, supporting agriculture, linking historic towns and carrying the Mže, Radbuza, Úhlava and Úslava toward Plzeň. In the city, the Mže and Radbuza form the Berounka, while wooded highlands extend west toward the Bohemian Forest and south toward Šumava. Plzeň is the regional centre and the home of Pilsner Urquell: the beer was first brewed here in 1842 and gave its name to the pilsner style. Its centre is marked by the Gothic Cathedral of St Bartholomew and the Great Synagogue. Beyond the city, smaller towns, castles and rural roads give the region a distinct western-Bohemian character.
