The hostel I stayed at was between two parks. The one my classmates, teachers, and I frequented was Letna. One of our teachers packed a baseball bat and softballs with him and one of our classmates purchased a frisbee at Dvaadvacítka which was a few doors down from our hostel. Dvaadvacítka or 22 is right next to [...]

Gitanes
On our second night in Prague a couple classmates and I went looking for a specific restaurant, unable to find it and after comparing a couple different menus and prices we ended up at Gitanes. Gitanes has a fun mismatched and homey feel to it. The ceiling was painted and the restaurant was dark. [...]
Fraktal
Fraktal is near the hostel we stayed at in Prague 7. It's a popular spot to go and grab a drink and watch a game. (The Euro Cup was playing while I was in Prague) The first time I went I got carrot soup and toast. While I was in Prague we had the same [...]
Einstein’s Pizzeria
Einsteins was a hotspot for us in Prague 7. It had wifi and cheap but good pizza. It was also really close to our hostel. I usually got the ham and cheese pizza (Šunková) and some water. Einstein's menu is in both Czech and English. We would go in large groups before heading to the park, [...]
Potraviny Non stop
The Potraviny Non stop is a convenience store. Since a lot of things closed early one of the places we went a lot was the Potraviny. It was also closer to the hostel then the Billa. They had food, large containers of alcohol, water, and snacks. They were open 24 hours and had a little [...]
Baráčnická rychta
The restaurant Baráčnická rychta was where, during my studying abroad, we ate our welcome dinner. Baráčnická rychta is located in Praha 2. It was probably one of the reasons why I became comfortable with walking in the middle of the road at night. We would call out car and everyone would scatter to the sidewalks. Baráčnická rychta is [...]
Billa
Billa is a grocery store or supermarket. Since there was a kitchen in our hostel and parks nearby I would go to the Billa for groceries and snacks. My roommates and I bought a lot of bread, cheese, and eggs. Two of my roommates were vegetarian, something of a struggle for them but it wasn't [...]
Palladium
The Palladium is located in Praha 1. The tram stop it is by is Náměstí Republiky. Since outside of the building it says 200 shops that is what I called it for a long time. It is essentially a giant mall. I walked past it on my first day in Prague while exploring. It is across [...]
Trams, buses, and trains in Prague
We were right next to a ton of awesome public transportation, and if I could bring something back to Chicago with me from Prague it would have been their transportation system. I walked a lot, because sometimes especially late at night the trams would go by packed to the brim. I usually wasn't too far [...]
Prague and Hostel Mikoláše Alše
When I went to Prague a summer ago I couldn't believe I was going. I had a 9 hour layover at the Heathrow airport so a classmate and I stayed at the Yotel which I loved. I was studying abroad with my department at a small hostel. Since this is my 100th post I will [...]
