Cafes/Bars
A Prague classic with old-world charm. Think high ceilings, marble tables, and the kind of place where you can linger over breakfast or dessert. Great for solo travellers who want to soak up a little history with their coffee, Einstein and Kafka were...
Café Louvre: Home
Step back in time at this elegant café that feels like a slice of 1920s Prague. Known for beautiful pastries and old-school service, but the real must-try? Their thick, rich hot chocolate, it’s basically dessert in a cup.

If you want a casual drink with one of the best views in the city, this is it. Perched above the Vltava River with a panoramic view of Prague’s rooftops, this laid-back beer garden is perfect at sunset. Grab a local beer and soak it all in.
LETNA BEER GARDEN: All You MUST Know Before You Go (2025)
A dream for pastry lovers. Think flaky croissants, inventive seasonal bakes, and great coffee. The space is small but cosy, with a minimalist vibe that lets the food shine. Go early to beat the weekend rush!
Supernova Bakehouse (@supernova_bakehouse)
A cool, artsy café tucked away near Letná Park with vintage interiors and a great brunch menu. Ideal for a slower start to the day or a quiet mid-afternoon coffee.
A moody little absinthe bar that feels like you’ve stepped into another world. The staff are super knowledgeable, the cocktails are creative, and it’s the perfect way to dive into Prague’s mysterious absinthe culture without the tourist trap energy.

Tucked below street level, this Italian spot surprised me in the best way. The pasta is fresh, flavourful, and seriously comforting after a day of sightseeing. Get the truffle tagliatelle or let the staff recommend, they know what they’re doing.
Italian restaurant Pasta Fresca - Ambiente
Casual, spicy, and packed with flavour. If you’re craving Asian fusion or want something a little different, this spot delivers with bold dishes and a chill vibe. Their chilli oil hits just right.

Bright, modern, and a dream for brunch lovers. Venue nails that balance of aesthetic interiors and genuinely good food. Avocado toast, pancakes, matcha lattes, this place is made for slow mornings or a mid-day refuel.
VENUE - Café - Bistro - Wine - Praha
A butcher shop turned cult food spot. Go for the pastrami sandwich or steak tartare, yes, really. It’s simple, hearty, and full of local flavour. Grab a seat if you can, or just eat at the counter like the locals do.

RIEGROVY SADY: All You MUST Know Before You Go (2025)
One of Prague’s quirky art pieces by David Černý, look up or you’ll miss it! This statue of Freud hanging by one hand is unexpected and thought-provoking, and exactly the kind of odd little detail that makes Prague feel so unique.
Man Hanging Out - David Černý
A must-see that’s more of a complex than a single building. Wander through courtyards, soak up the views from the top, and don’t miss the stunning St. Vitus Cathedral. It’s worth the climb, especially if you grab a coffee at the Starbucks nearby for ...
Prague Castle for visitors
A Prague icon that’s just as much about the atmosphere as the mechanics. Crowds gather every hour to watch the figures move, but don’t skip admiring the clock’s details up close. It’s one of the oldest working astronomical clocks in the world and the...
