Mlada Boleslav

About

The town is dominated by the Skoda car plant which employs over 85% of the town’s working population. This iconic brand of the Czech Republic is now owned by Volkswagen, and since the takeover, Skoda’s stock has risen from that of the sick man of Europe to a model for durability, reliability and economy, comparable to any of Europe’s leading names. The museum is not only a delight for car enthusiasts but also chronicles the ups and downs of a company inexorably associated with the Czech identity over many years. Cars from throughout the company’s history are on show, ranging from the luxurious to the simple and visitors will likely be astonished by the number of sports cars produced by the company in the past. The Skoda museum presents the ideal opportunity to spend a little time immersing yourself in the history of one of the country’s quintessential institutions.
