Cukrárna Alchymista
While in Prague we spent a lot of time going to the Globe. I would lug my laptop across the river and it was exhausting. All for wifi and tea. Which is why when one of my teachers told me that in the past the students use to hang out at a place called the [...]
Bar no. 7

Hotel Clement
