Did a kick ass walking tour when I was there. Like 4-6 hours or something like that through the entire city. Stopping at a restaurant that "Good" King Wenceslaus ate at. Don't recall the name but something like Stanslauseciselkeisojeij.

Walking Tour = Booh Yeah!

was pretty easy to find...


here's the 'important info' that i had posted:

here's a few of my fave restaurants in prague:

trattoria cicala - zitna 43 - praha 1 - spectacular food! this is THE place for penne arrabbiatta. yummy, yummy. it's a really small storefront, but the restaurant is actually, mostly, underground. i found one day walking in a new way to school, and they actually had a picture of johnny depp eating there! thought if it's good enough for johnny - have to try it - haha. sooooo good!

lemon leaf - myslikova 14 - praha 2 - excellent thai food! their spicy thai soups are delicious, great atmosphere - all around good food!

jama - v jame 7 - praha 1 - i list this only b/c it is a popular expat spot and if you want a good burger or potato skins etc, this is the place.

marco polo IV - siroka 4/24 - praha 1 - i never had dinner here, quite pricey - but beautiful place and i did have an exquisite dessert here - yum!

cantina - mala strana ujezd 38 - great mexican food! by czech standards anyway, haha. took me awhile there to find good mex food and well-priced, good place.

bohemia bagel - ujezd 16 - praha 1 and masna 2 - praha 1 - great place for breakfast or lunch - late night eating. another big expat gathering spot and really yummy comfort foods.

yes, wish i could go back! enjoy!

Found the pic on my website. The place is El Hrale Srabanfskeho, and apparently the favorite place of the King's Son Vaclav the Drunk.

Here is a link to my site.

Thanks everyone!

If you have time, take the train down to cesky krumlov for a couple of days. It's a village a bit south. It's absolutely beautiful.

YES!
absolutely worth it!
i went there for a day and it was beautiful, and so quaint. great little side-trip.
and just walk around and see EVERYthing in the old city, and at least the central part of the 'new city'.....which ain't so new .....there is just soooo much to SEE. it is one of the most visually breath-taking city!

i've been, and it is BEAUTIFUL! i'll check when i get home if i have any tips i noted that would be helpful. most of all, just enjoy. i fell in love with that city, it's up there with paris for me in terms of beauty.

Marco Polo is a lovely place to eat, the deserts we had were gorgeous!

One of the best restaurants we went to there was the Resturant Reykjavík - absolutely gorgeous and really quite reasonable.

I also remember (vaguely!) a bar kind of just off the main square old sqaure (towards Charles Bridge)- down some stairs in a courtyard near a tattooist (the name escapes me). Anyway the do the strongest cocktails ever - including the 'Adios Motherfucker' I dare you to remember the name of the place after a couple of those :oops: !!

Best (and most surprising) attraction was the Kafka museum on the castle side of the Charles Bridge - really different museum experience and well worth a visit. The art outside the museum (a man relieving himself in a pool the shape of the Czech Republic) is meant to represent the Brits who refuse to pay for public toilets and prefer to go in the street - alas a sad reflection of UK 'lad' culture.

Enjoy - it's a great place!

that whole place was gorgeous!


and the kaftka museum was awesome! i have a few pics of that sculpture. haha. i really cant think of anything i did there that wasn't great. just a beautiful, magical city....


i will say the stag parties were every weekend and sure the 'tourists' ...all drunk at these parties...weren't great, but really, they weren't locals or a 'part' of prague per se, so i don't c'ounbt' them when weighing in on the city.
