Our Staff Reveals Their Favorite Places in Prague
WENDY, Reservations
"Řásnovka - hidden spot in the heart of Prague. This is just a little sneak peek of my favourite spot because this place is just the most amazing when it gets dark outside and they switch the street lights on. Ask our staff where to find Haštalské náměstí and take the first street left from there. You will pass the church and here you go: usually an empty street with a fairytale atmosphere."

"If you want to experience the Czech culture to the fullest, you need to understand our humour. We, the Czechs, like to make fun of ourselves and we love the irony. What a better example of this, than the fact that one of the „biggest“ authors of the famous plays is a person that has never lived? I am talking about Jara Cimrman-a person created by the great directors, screen writers and producers Josef Smoljak and Zdeněk Svěrák (also known as the screen-writer of Oscar winning film Kolja) . Cimrman is a man, who was present to all the important discoveries in the 19th and 20th century, who were always the first and knew everyhing the best. Besides his other admirable abilities he has also written some plays that are the essence of our humour and make even the foreigners laugh. There is usually one performance played in the English language a month. If you are lucky enough to be in Prague when it is played, you should not miss it - Járy Cimrmana Theatre!"

"My favorite place to go with friends is definitely Naplavka in summer. It is a good place where you can enjoy a beautiful view of Prague while watching the sunset, drinking some good beer, and meeting new people. The atmosphere you experience at Naplavka is truly unique and overwhelming. When I want to relax and calm down a little I love going to Petřín or visit Vyšehrad. My two favorite places where I go when I really want to think and rest from all the troubles of a usual day."

"I love to spend my time in Stromovka park – a great place for running and even a glass of wine or beer. It’s on the way from the city center to zoo (tram no. 17) in Bubeneč district. There is a nice restaurant with seating area and a stage for occasional concerts and shows. For kids there is a lovely children’s playground right next to the cafe serving great stuffed potatoes and fresh-squeezed juices. Not far from the park you can find Prague Exhibition Grounds, Sea World or the Prague Planetarium with one of the largest cupolas in the World."

"My favorite place in Prague is Gröbovka park, also known as Havlíčkovy sady. This beautiful park is located in Vinohrady district and it is great for a picnic or a walk with unique views of Prague. In a wooden gazebo you can get a glass of Gröbovka wine which comes from the local hillsides. In Pavilon Grébovka restaurant they serve various meals, in spring and summer they even offer specialities grilled outside. Easiest way to get there is to take a tram no. 22 from the city center - it takes just 15 minutes."

"My favourite place in Prague is nearby the Vltava river. If you want to enjoy almost rural atmosphere, go from the city center
by tram no. 17 until you reach Holešovice district. You will pass a new Troja
bridge, which is an interesting architectonical place. Then you will come down
the street and reach a path along the river. During warm days, there are people
relaxing at the bank next to the kayaking slalom course. If you go further from
the weir, you will reach south gate of Chateau Troja and also south entrance to
the prague Zoo. You can cross the river to the Stromovka park,
which is another oasis of nature in the heart of a pulsing city."

"My favourite place is in the middle of Prague - it's near Vltavská which is a really ugly place and that's why it's strange that this place is so amazing! It is almost an island - "Střelecký ostrov". There is the most amazing bar where everybody sits on the grass with a tasty beer. Around the island the Vltava river flows and you can feel like you aren't in the city but you are actually in the very heart of Prague."

"I fell in love with this place when I was a child. Since then I have visited National Technical Museum many times and every single visit I get surprised. You can view the most interesting exhibits of many technical fields – transportation, astronomy, architecture, photography, metalurgy, mining and others. Full admission price is 190 CZK, reduced price (seniors, children, students) is 90 CZK. The museum is located in Holešovice District – you can take a tram no. 17 to Čechův most station or any tram that goes to Letenské náměstí."

"If you want to see Prague from different perspective, rent a paddle boat! You can go with up to 3 friends and it is so much fun! On a sunny day choose one of the rental places and discover Prague from the river. My favorite rental place is located next to the Charles Bridge in Lávka Club. From here you have a unique opportunity to discover one of the most famous bridges in the world from below."

"Are you looking for a piece of America in Prague? Fancy for some hot dog or a burger? Than you should definitely try this newly opened bistro at Letna - Mr. Hotdog. Their specialities are hotdog with high quality beef or half beef-half pork sausages from a Czech farmer. You can try as well sliders-small type of burgers, a real gourmand can eat eat even three in a row. They also offer tasty fries even with interesting sauces. All of this in stylish baskets making you feel like you are in an american diner on a roadway, stopping by for a lunch on your roadtrip. But careful, if you try the Frozen Margarita, better go back home on your foot."

"My favourite coffee shop. The name of the coffee shop is Letka. It is at the Letná district. It has a beautiful design and a really tasty coffee. You can sit in the window inside and during the summer spend time behind the table outside in front of Letka."

"My favourite coffee place is also in the quarter Holešovice. It is called Vnitroblock. It used to be an old factory, but now it is a place where you can have delicious coffee, homemade lemonades, soup, healthy snacks... There is also a design shop, little cinema and a dancing room. A lot of lectures or charity evenings are held here. It is not recontructed so you can see rough walls or pipes which is unusual and interesting. The atmosphere and people at this place a super nice! It is kind of hipster place."

"Favorite spot I go to quite often is the Cocktail & Music Bar Nebe at Wenceslas Square where you can get tasty cocktails and drinks for amazing prices during their happy hours between 6 and 9 pm. This place is definitely worth a visit. And for example one of the restaurants I found out about recently (certainly for burger lovers who I am) is Café Palanda with unbelievably tasty burgers and a fine interior."

"If you love Asian cuisine and sushi as much as I do and you don't want to spend too much money, you should go to Wok & Sushi, just next to the Dancing House, not far from our Residence Karolina. You need to try their Phở bò, one of the best in the city! Also their noodles, roasted duck and sweet and sour chicken are delicous."

"The best place where you can get good coffee and some snack or cake is Ema espresso bar which is located in city center near to train station Masarykovo nádraží. The place is not so big but it doesn´t matter, because when you try the coffee, you wouldn ´t like to taste some other. The emplyees are the best and they really undrestand coffee, how to do it and everything around that. In last weeks my top from Ema is typical czech sweet is ´buchta´ with curd cheese or plum jam. I would recommend you to buy a book Taste of Prague ( you can buy it also in Ema) and you will find there the best places where to go for good food, coffee, drinks or bakerys."

"As a beer lover I just must recommend my favorite beer pub - Zlý časy in Nusle disctrict. The beer offer is really unique - there are three bars and every day you can taste one of 48 tap beers from small and microbreweries of the Czech Republic. The name of the pub can be translated as Bad times but I have always had a great time over there. They also have delicious burgers and Czech dishes. If you stay in our Residence Karolina, just get tram no. 18 at the National Theatre and get off at the Náměstí Bratří Synků station."

"We are in the biggest city of Czechia - Prague. People here are beer and food lovers as well. I am talking about speciality coffee lovers here and trust me, we made a great way since lets say 2012 or so. People open new cafes at famous places almost every month and it is alway big! They opened a new cafe in February called Urban Café and to be completely hones with you, this place became my "home" the minute I walked in the very first time. Such an impressive urban interior and very nice people behind the bar. Enjoy your coffee!"

"Creperie U Slepé kočičky can be found on M. Horákové 38, Prague 7, just a short tram ride from Hradčanská. Their lovely home made lemonades and crepes are just delicious. I recommend to try the crepe with a plum jam, mascarpone and shredded gingerbread, as it has a bit of a Czech twist. They also offer healthier buckwheat crepes that are very nice too. They have sweet and salty versions in their offer that make a nice lunch even for a vegetarian."
