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.
