The Czech beer festival is an annual festival that happens for 17 days in May. Since it was happening while we were there we went often. The festival happens on the Holešovice Exhibition Grounds. We went by crossing through the Stromovka park. The festival itself is free, but the beer and food required when I went [...]

Hotel Clement
While most of my classmates stayed at the hostel, one classmate stayed at Hotel Clement with a different department. Our department had a joint session with them at the Hotel, and occasionally we would meet them there before going out to explore. The department that was staying there complained about the internet, but it wasn't [...]
U Malého Glena
One evening when we weren't really doing much in our hostel unit, I figured I'd do some homework and go to bed, our teacher popped by and invited us to a Jazz and blues club, U Malého Glena in Praha 1. The main level is a bar. Downstairs of U Malého Glena is where the Jazz and [...]
Letna
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. [...]
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 [...]
