One Prague Tour RECOMMENDS <3
Food & drinks
Where we like to go eat and drink. In the central Prague area, it’s 95% overpriced and "touristy" stuff, so this might help. Some of these are very low profile :)
Great coffee shop / micro beers on tap / snacks and soups just a minute from our office where we start and finish tours. Locals’ choice on this side of Charles Bridge!

If you stay a bit longer, we always suggest you go explore more than just the historical Prague 1. There’s other parts with unique vibes and it’s where locals often prefer to go hang out.
"A 15-minute walk away from Prague’s busy Wenceslas Square is the hip neighbourhood of Vinohrady, which gets its name from its history as a site for vineyards. It’s now home to picturesque squares like Jiřího z Poděbrad and Náměstí Míru, which sit between steep streets packed with Czech and international restaurants, independent coffee shops, beer bars and green spaces."

Best thing is, it’s never crowded here, locals aim to keep it low profile :) You can visit "Novy Svet" coffee shop as well when you are here.

What’s worth to see in Prague but also outside the city.
"High Castle" - old fortress with a museum, hidden passages, large grounds, old cemetery & remains of a medieval basilica. It’s a great walk along the river (National Theatre - Dancing House - riverwalk) from city center, but way less "touristy" than major sights. Locals approve!

What a great day trip out of Prague! Get a train to "Kamenny Privoz" town and walk along "Sazava" river on its left side all the way to "Cukrarna Pikovice" (good cakes and icecream). Then you can catch train back at "Petrov u Prahy" station, or even hike up the "Mednik" hill. Or, some people prefer to get canoes and boat down the river instead...

I grew up in this region (Ondra). "Declared the first geopark in the country by UNESCO, the Bohemian Paradise area is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the Czech Republic. One of the biggest attractions is the area of rock formations between the towns of Jičín and Železný Brod. Thanks to the forces of nature you can admire lofty sandstone forms here, worn into weird and wonderful shapes, some of which are 60m tall."

By the way, Prague’s super popular "chimney cake" (trdelnik) is tasty, but not local & traditional at all, it’s Hungarian!
