Eat and drink

  • “Brasileiro Slovanský dům: What? Would you recommend a Brazilian restaurant in Prague ?! Yes, my friends, this place has a delicious selection of everything you can eat for about $ 17. It’s hidden in the basement of a mall (no kidding, this place was hard to find), but it’s worth it. ”- Dhawk777
  • “Avoid trdelník, the typical street food you see everywhere. The smell of cinnamon is so tempting, but they taste like unleavened dough. ” – LizzieW

See the city

  • “Evening tour with a rich history: Prague Castle after the onset of darkness” . – three20three
  • “The most important place to visit is Cross Club, a heavy metal bar near the Old Town. Even if you don’t like metal, you need to see this place. It is decorated using old kitchen utensils, gears and wires that mechanically move along the walls, giving the feel of a crazy Mad Max. It’s best to go there around 6:00 pm because the club downstairs will be open but not yet crowded with party people. ” – Daryl

  • “When I returned to the 90s, black light theater was still popular. The best one was Ta Fantastika and it still works. For the uninitiated, black light theater makes the best use of ultraviolet lighting to hide some figures and make others glow. The actors will be dressed in head-to-toe black body suits. But these characters will move objects that glow in ultraviolet light on stage. ”- Jim Phillips
  • “There is an Apple Museum in Prague, and they have one of the largest collections of Apple products” – LadaSoukup
  • “If possible, dress a little and go to the opera at the last minute. You can get discounts (especially for students, for example: ~ $ 2) and all the operas I visited in Prague had English subtitles! “- Dave
  • “The Museum of Communism is cool because the souvenir shop sells super-sarcastic postcards.” – The artist formerly known as …
  • “The National Tech Museum sounds awfully boring, but it’s actually cool. It is full of insane prototypes of cars and unusual planes, as well as strange ephemera from the heyday of Czechoslovakia in the early 20th century as a design center. As a bonus: when you exit the building and walk right across the street, you will find yourself in Letna Park, which has several excellent beer gardens overlooking the city. ”- MLAW76
  • “We were happy to find * three * exhibitions of Alphonse Mucha, and I think they are more or less permanent. You don’t have to travel far in Prague to meet Mucha, ”- Lee Shackleford.
  • “See the Jewish ghetto and synagogues. Hitler was going to build a museum of Jews in Prague (of course, after he killed them all), so the synagogues there are beautiful and have many unique artifacts “- mazzieD
  • “If you have a full day, go to Cesky Krumlov. This is a fairy tale come to life, one of my favorite places in the country. Buses run regularly, check out the Student Agency / Regiojet buses. It takes about 3 hours to get to Prague, but you need a maximum of 4 hours ”, – leafonthewind
