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.
