if u want to go to a museum just wonder around new town there like three every block, prague is one of those places where theres a gem on every corner, i def recommend getting ur steps in and walking around as many parks as you can(letenské and kinského garden are musts)
Cafe/wine bars-
A Maze in Tchaiovna
art Cafe(by the bridge)
Café K
The Globe Bookstore & Café
Česky archiv vín dejvice (praha 6)
Ye’s Kafe & Wine
Gelato-
Creme de la creme(no contest)
Florist(cause u never know)-
Kvetinárství Jirina
Food stuffs-
Las Adelitas(if ur an american in europe no doubt youll miss mexican food)
Mr. Falafel(new town) and the shawarma place just down the road(not the stand alone one up the hill/by the park) 👌kiss the chefs for me
banh-mi-ba, can never go wrong with some banh mi
They're usually small groups and you pay what you think is fair.
Touristy places that lived up to the hype:
-Hungarian National Gallery
-Szimpla Kert
-Watching the sunset near the Prague Metronome
-Taking pictures of the Nutria (don't feed them)
-Vytopna Railway Restaurant
-Anonymous Shrink's Office
Not worth the hype (imo):
-Fisherman's Bastion
-Prague Castle (only the cathedral seemed worth it)
-Prague Astronomical Clock
In Dublin right now!
Some recs (Just a tourist, I don’t live here, some of these might be very basic but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )
-National gallery, national history museum, national archaeological museum (all free and next to each other)
-the bar with no name - very cool cocktails and fun ”hidden” experience
-Chester beatty and trinity are fun to walk around
-sweny’s pharmacy, cool old pharmacy mentioned in James joyce’s Ulysses
-brasserie 66 (Will be having din There tomorrow actually) kinda fancy but bruh the bread and butter is so good!!
The cobblestone has trad music everynight (I think!)
food recs include grand pied for breakfast, balkan treat box for lunch (has been listed as one of the best restaurants in the country), tamm ave bar/nomad for burger + beer, and milagro azteca for casual mexican food/margs. sado or lucky accomplice are good for a nicer dinner. bars include venice cafe (drinks are meh tbh but vibes are great), the vandy, or golden hoosier. if you're into beer, side project in maplewood has some crazy stuff and there are some cute local shops on the same strip. clementine's is maybe the best ice cream ever and if you go you have to get their gooey butter cake flavor
i second the zoo/art museum recs, followed by a walk in forest park. city museum is also fun, or the botanical garden. tower grove or soulard farmers market are a nice weekend activity
yes yes im poor ur poor but to be surprised by a raspberry chocolate almond croissant when u were expecting a plain almond croissant is a wonderful thing and worth the 7.5% of ur entire net worth atm
