10 places in Prague, where the residents themselves go

Prague is a city that, perhaps, manages to win the heart of any traveler. However, wanting to feel the atmosphere of the Czech capital as deep as possible, you should move away from the beaten tourist route and look into those places that the locals really like. So, today we will tell you where to go in Prague to see it through the eyes of the inhabitants of the city.

Riegrovy Gardens, Riegrovy Sady

Numerous hills allow the ancient city to look voluminous and spacious. Sometimes Prague residents like to climb higher to admire their beautiful city from above. The main place of such a plan is considered to be a slope in the Rieger Gardens. In this park you will not only enjoy marvelous panoramas and colorful sunsets, but you can also drink wine or a glass of foamy, have a great walk and have a good time.

Troy Horse Bar, U Trojského koně

On the banks of the Vltava River in the Troy region there is a very unusual open-air bar. Finding it is easy - you will see a huge 10-meter wooden horse from afar. This place is noteworthy in that it is not just a bar, but also a theater, gallery, cinema and an outdoor area for creativity.

Mediterranean Restaurant La Casa

Many tourists coming to the Czech Republic try to taste as many main local dishes as possible - beer, dumplings and pork. However, the locals themselves prefer a simpler and lighter cuisine. So, if traditional cuisine no longer creeps into you, we hasten to invite you to La Casa restaurant, where guests can enjoy a Mediterranean dinner and a cozy atmosphere.

Open-air cinema Výletní kino Smíchov

Another wonderful place on the banks of the Vltava is the Výletní kino Smíchov cinema. He is very popular among the local population and will certainly fall in love with himself and you. And who doesn’t like to watch a movie on the river bank with a view of the Czech gingerbread houses. By the way, all the shows here are in English.

Embankment Naplavka

The Vltava Embankment is a place where there are a lot of local youth. Bars and concert venues, as well as barges and ships, which arrange discos or which are used as cafes, as well as saunas and steam rooms, stretch for a kilometer here. And on Saturdays, a market with fresh Czech products opens on the promenade.

Farmers Market with Local Products Farmářský trh Jiřího z Poděbrad

Czechs are very fond of farmers' markets - the fashion for healthy food, vegetarianism and a raw food diet has reached enormous proportions. And as you know, demand creates supply, so farmers' markets can be found in various parts of the city. Closest to the center is the market at Jiřího z Poděbrad. Fresh products are brought here from Wednesday to Saturday by 8 in the morning. Here you can not only buy fresh cheeses, fish, vegetables and pastries, but also try street food or alcohol from private breweries or wineries.

Bar Pivní Klub 300

In the bar Pivní Klub 300 tourists you most likely will not meet. This place is more for locals, which is why the menu here is only in Czech. However, the owner of the establishment, who is also a bartender, is glad to everyone and will be happy to tell about each beer that he will advise to try. We also have advice for you: be sure to try the nakládaný hermelín pickled cheese in this bar.

Pruhonice Country Park, Průhonice

Not far from the city is the Pruhonice Park, which is just perfect for a day trip. You will have to pay 60 CZK for entry. The park has several scenic routes for walks ranging in length from 1 to 10 kilometers, and there is also a beautiful castle.

Cross Club, Cross Club

For all lovers of underground parties, hardcore and punk Cross Club is a must visit. Its owner is an ardent fan of steampunk, which could not but affect the interior of the institution. But even if you are far from all this, still go to the club to at least just look at what is happening.

Cabaret Darling

If the residents of the capital decide on nightly entertainment for adults, then, as a rule, they go to Darling. This cabaret of the Moulin Rouge type can be found on Wenceslas Square. It is famous for its spectacular shows and beautiful dancers. It is worth noting that the prices here are by no means affordable, so do not forget to look in the menu before ordering yourself something to drink.
