Dining out
Prague is aptly named the city of a hundred spires, but to the gastronomically inclined it’s also known as the city of a thousand restaurants. Prague’s cosmopolitan character is reflected by her increasingly international and excellent cuisine, although there are still plenty of tourist traps.
The the
Old Town & New Town are the well-touristed area between the Vltava river and busy Wilsonova road, along in front of the National Museum.
Malá Strana and the area around
the castle, just across Charles Bridge, is a cleaner version of the Old Town, with many upmarket and tourist restaurants.
Loved by young expats,
Vinohrady and neighbouring
Žižkov have everything from cheap ethnic restaurants to trendy bars.
North of the Old Town,
Holešovice is a slightly scruffy area, while up the hill to the east the more upmarket
Letna is centred around Letenské náměstí with some interesting restaurants and bars.
Smíchov and its central area of
Anděl south of Malá Strana, is a long-disregarded industrial area which has taken leaps and bounds towards becoming a very pleasant area indeed, with countless restaurants catering to a young crowd.
