Kavárna Pod Lipami was one of those cute coffee shops like the Alchemy cafe that I found rather late and sadly hadn't noticed it was right under my nose until rather late. I found it because one of my teachers had picked it for our one on one meetings. It is a very short walk [...]

Trdelník
While wandering around Prague occasionally you'll smell something sweet. Most likely it's a trdelník. Trdelník's are probably one of the things I miss most about Prague. It's traditionally from Hungary and was brought over from Transylvania. A trdelník is a rolled pastry. Dough is wrapped around a stick and cooked over a fire while spinning slowly [...]
United Islands of Prague
United Islands is a huge free international music festival in Prague with stages on different islands throughout the Vlatava river. The event is super popular and pulls in a huge crowd of people from around Europe. It started rather late in our trip to Prague and so on our last days we would gather and [...]
Cafe Balkón
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 [...]
Ferdinanda
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 [...]
Faust House
While being shown around by our teacher we walked past Faust House. The Faust House, while it probably never housed Doctor Faust, was home to many eccentric people. It was originally a mansion owned by Prince Vaclav of Opava who was obsessed with alchemy and natural sciences. It was then passed on to an astronomer and [...]
Creperie “U slepé Kočičky”
U slepé Kočičky is a creperie that is located the hostel we were staying at. Out front is a large wooden cat covering it's eyes. I thought while I was there the title of the restaurant translated into sleepy cat, but it seems to translate into the blind cat. I eventually ended up going, close [...]
