A tourist paradise, one of the most stable countries in Eastern Europe with a high standard of living, low prices, historical places of unique beauty.
Leisure and free time.
Clubs: as the Czechs themselves say, in addition to breweries and pastry shops, their capital is famous for jazz clubs. The most famous are “Amigo”, “Metropolitan”, “Viola”, “Press”. To many, the sweetest place is “At the Little Glen”, which is in the Mala Strana area, on Karmelitskaya Street, 23. Vaulted ceilings, photographs of the last century on the walls. Bar counter from the Austro-Hungarian Empire. A huge old cash register in the corner.
Zoo: If you love animals, you won’t find a better place to stay. The Prague Zoo is not only open-air cages, but also a beautiful shady park, located in one of the most prestigious and green areas of Prague – Troy. It is easier to get to the zoo from the metro station “Nadrazi Holesovice”, then by bus 112 (runs every 20-30 minutes), to the stop “Zoo” (usually this is the final one, except for extended routes). The ticket costs 20-40 Ck. Large territory, few people, open enclosures, animals as close to you as possible.
Botanical Garden: next to the zoo and within walking distance – the botanical garden.
Restaurants. The most expensive restaurants and cafes are located in the “cult” places of the capital. A luxurious dinner for three “At the Prince’s” on the Old Town Square will cost 1800 kroons. Five hundred meters away, on a less busy street, you can dine for 200 crowns (per person). Even cheaper (for 100 kroons) you can eat in a simple pub, where the menu always contains two or three meat dishes. Be sure to try the famous onion or garlic stew. Don’t forget to try old-fashioned dishes such as game pâté or small unleavened pancakes with plum jam. It would be nice to try something from the national Czech cuisine.
For example, stewed pork with cabbage or pork breaded in breadcrumbs with potato salad, pork envelopes with asparagus, cheese and chopped ham, dozens of varieties of smoked meats, hams, brawns, sausages, whole fried duck, hot chopped roulade from different types of meat, sweet pancakes (Palacinka) with jam, ice cream and chocolate sauce, apfelstrydel with nuts, cinnamon and raisins. And, of course, the pork leg. In Czech cuisine always and everywhere in the first place were KNEDLIKI. There are many varieties of dumplings: potato or wheat dumplings, dumplings with bacon or fruit.
Beer. According to healthknowing, beer and pubs in the Czech Republic are a separate story altogether. Only one thing can be said for sure – you will not find such an amazing drink anywhere else. And besides, tasting the most delicious draft beer in a cozy pub or restaurant in Prague will cost several times cheaper than, say, in St. Petersburg or Moscow. National drink! Among other alcoholic beverages, it is worth noting the Karlovy Vary Becherovka – a tincture of 42 herbs and Absinthe – a 72-degree wormwood drink of a suspicious bluish-green color, prohibited for sale in other countries.
