The city’s leading art museum in a noble palace, showing European works from medieval painting to the nineteenth century in elegant historic rooms.
A major modern and contemporary art venue with Czech and international works. The trade fair palace setting suits large exhibitions and bold installations.
A private museum focused on Czech and central European modern art. It combines strong permanent displays with temporary exhibitions in a central location.
The heart of historic Prague, filled with merchant houses, churches and lively public space. It is ideal for first-time visitors and evening atmosphere.
A broad boulevard of shops, hotels and major buildings. It is a useful base for city walks and an important setting in modern Czech history.
A landscaped hilltop park with orchards, paths and one of Prague’s finest sunset views. It feels local, relaxed and well away from the busiest crowds.
Slow-braised beef in a creamy root-vegetable sauce, usually with bread dumplings. A classic Czech Sunday dish strongly associated with Bohemian home cooking.
Roast pork with sauerkraut and bread or potato dumplings. It is one of the most traditional hearty Czech pub and family meals.
Goulash in the Czech style, usually beef, onions and paprika, often served with bread dumplings. A staple of Prague pubs and traditional kitchens.
Stylish restaurant focused on updated Czech cuisine and Czech wines, with a polished but relaxed atmosphere close to the city centre.

Tip around 5-10% in restaurants if service is good, often by rounding up. Round up taxi fares. In cafés, small change or rounding up is usual.
