Food Scene
Classic Czech Pub/Restaurant, classic Czech cousine, good Pilsner beer, all for non-tourist prices, typical interior, probably no other tourist in here. Non smoking! They might struggle with English, but you always manage to order and you'll have a local experience :)

Lots of Vietnamese people live in Czech Republic and luckily they brought their cousine with them. Main course cca 100-150 CZK. This place is to sit down (find small enterance next to a golden Buddha in show window). Their second place - TAKE-AWAY bistro - is closer then the restaurant! Slavíkova 1, Praha 2!

A very nice Greek tavern, great food, nice outside seating (in the winter sheltered and heated), "western prices" (15-20EUR/dinner) but worth it.

Parks & Nature
Czechs have large areas in parks with tables and seats where we sit and concentrate on drinking as much beer as possible. Beer garden in Riegrovy Sady is legendary :) Great view from the meadow, too!

Arts & Culture
Elected one of the most ugly buildings in the world. Looks like a spaceship that accidentally landed in the middle of historical buildings (... and on a Jewish cemetery :/...) - several huge babies with barcode faces crawl up and down its trimendous pillars. Illuminated in our national colours by night. Bar, posh restaurant,, affordable bistro and "observatory" accessible by lift 70metres above the city. It's a trip....
