One of my classmates spoke about Cafe Balkón all the time. He went pretty much every day he could and would sit on the balcony and write or use the wifi. In my head I viewed it as a two story cafe with white balconies that overlooked the street, with a sort of classy look to [...]

Klub Architektů
When I went to Klub Architektu I wasn't feeling well but went with my teacher before Museum Night. I ordered a mint and ginger tea to help with my cold. I was rather happy to see large mint leaves and ginger chunks. I also ordered Beef medallion with cream apples and mashed potatoes, that I loved. I [...]
Noc Kostelu and Noc Museum
One of the events that one of our teachers told us about while we were in Prague was Noc Kostelu, Night of Churches. On this night many churches throughout the city are open for free. Usually the churches cost money to go into and look around. So Noc Kostelu is a great way to get [...]
Bar Bar
On an evening out exploring one of our teachers made a reservation for us at Bar Bar. It's a cool, odd restaurant with a large variety of vegetarian options, which was nice because we had several vegetarians with us on our trip. We ate downstairs and enjoyed the odd art on the walls and [...]

After wandering around with my classmates we looked for a place to eat. We were searching for someplace cheap and I noticed across the street a sign that said cheap Czech food so we looked at the menu agreed and went in. I enjoyed the atmosphere, the restaurant was below ground, we went down the [...]

Franz Kafka Walking Tour
After our trip to the Franz Kafka Museum we went to meet our tour guide for our walking tour, who wasn't affiliated with the museum, she worked with the non-for-profit Franz Kafka society. We started off being shown the library. The Franz Kafka society in 2002 had a replica made of Franz Kafka's library. They [...]
Pivovarský Klub
While walking with one of our teachers she took us to Pivovarský Klub (Brewery Club) The Pivovarský Klub's idea is that most restaurants have a ton of food and little in the way of beer. So they strive to provide the opposite, a good menu of food with at a minimum 240 kinds of beer available in [...]
Love Lock Bridge
There is a bridge near the Lennon wall covered to the brim with locks. Lovers write their initials on the locks and throw the keys into the river. There is also a small romantic restaurant nearby. These love lock, or padlock love bridges can be found all over the world. I had never seen one [...]
