The best beer in Prague
In Prague is very difficult to determine which is the best local beer. The Czech Republic, and especially Prague, enjoys a great reputation for producing some of the best beers in the whole world, that is why, the establishments that enjoy greater consideration in the city are, without any doubt, the magnificent beer taverns; the famous pivnice. Before traveling to Prague, it is very important to memorize the magic words “už nepiju” (which mean “I´ve had enough”), because as soon as the waiters notice we have an empty glass, they immediately serve another one, since the local custom is to proceed this way until the client indicates otherwise. Although chances are it will be long until we decide to pronounce these words, because the quality of Czech beer is so high that it is almost impossible to deprive ourselves of the pleasure of drinking them in the taverns of Prague. The Czech Republic is home to some of the best lagers in the world, including the legendary Pilsner Urquell, which is very famous thanks to its special type of fermentation. In Prague you can find delicious bitter beers (such as Staropramen Branjík and Smíchnov), as well as sweet ones with higher ethyl levels, which are the result of a completely natural fermentation process. Naming the best places to drink beer in Prague is a nearly impossible task. However, there is a very famous place called U Fleku (K?emencova 11) that will be always suggested; indeed this is one of the most famous restaurants-pivnice in Prague, due to its stout. This pivnice, which has been in operation for over half...
A Weekend in Prague with Children
Traveling families might not think ofPragueas a destination for children. This beautiful Bohemian city is known more for its impressive architectural heritage than as being suitable for young travelers. And while the most popular areas may tire out the littlest ones (but not youths and adolescents),Praguehas numerous sites that will please the whole family. If you are traveling for just a few days, like a weekend getaway, you can intersperse seeing the old part of the city with visits to the city’s three green areas (not counting the slopes on the banks of the Vltava River). These are: the theme park devoted to dinosaurs (Dino Park), which needs no further discussion as children will be sure to want to visit it; the Botanical Garden, with educational and recreational activities for all; and the Vrtbovska Gardens. The green area and the palace are like something from fairy tales, and in addition to its extensive recreational and cultural programming, you can also organize a party however you want if your family is traveling toPrague to celebrate some event. On the other hand, we must bear in mind that folklore in this part of the world is deeply rooted in everyday life. That is why you’ll also find street musicians and puppeteers that will delight both young and old all over the city. Marionette puppet theater (especially those representing witches and monsters) are part of the country’s cultural heritage. You can enjoy these free of charge (with a tip for artists), and there are also shops that sell these dolls, such as Loutky Marionetas. While the Old Jewish...
