Prague, the capital of the Czech Republic, is a city that feels straight out of a fairytale. With its medieval architecture, cobblestone streets, and stunning river views, it’s no wonder that it is often called the “City of a Hundred Spires.” Whether you’re a history lover, a foodie, or someone looking to soak in beautiful sights, Prague has something for everyone. Day 1: Exploring Old Town and Charles Bridge Start your trip in the Old Town (Staré Město), the heart of Prague’s historic center. The Old Town Square is one of the most picturesque spots in Europe, surrounded by stunning Gothic and Baroque buildings. Here, you’ll find the famous Astronomical Clock (Orloj), the oldest working astronomical clock in the world. Be sure to watch the hourly show when the clock’s animated figures come to life! From there, take a short walk to Charles Bridge (Karlův most), one of Prague’s most iconic landmarks. Built in the 14th century, this bridge is lined with beautiful statues and offers breathtaking views of the Vltava River and Prague Castle. It’s best to visit early in the morning or late in the evening to avoid crowds. For lunch, try traditional Czech cuisine at Lokál, a popular spot known for its authentic food and fresh Pilsner beer. Don’t miss out on svíčková, a delicious dish of beef sirloin in creamy sauce with bread dumplings. Day 2: Prague Castle and Lesser Town On your second day, explore Prague Castle (Pražský hrad), the largest ancient castle complex in the world. This breathtaking site includes St. Vitus Cathedral, Golden Lane, and the Old Royal Palace. The cathedral, with its stunning stained glass windows and intricate Gothic architecture, is one of Prague’s most remarkable sights. After exploring the castle grounds, make your way down to Lesser Town (Malá Strana), a charming area filled with baroque buildings, hidden gardens, and cozy cafés. Stop by St. Nicholas Church, a masterpiece of Baroque architecture. For lunch, grab a seat at Café Savoy, a historic café known for its delicious pastries and rich coffee. Their traditional Czech goulash is a must-try! End your day with a Vltava River cruise, where you can admire the illuminated city skyline, including Prague Castle and Charles Bridge. The city at night looks truly magical! Tips for Traveling in Prague • Currency: The local currency is the Czech Koruna (CZK), but many places accept Euros. • Getting Around: The public transport system is efficient, but Prague is best explored on foot. #europetrip #travel #prague #praha #czechrepublic

If you like classic European cafés, then Café Louvre is definitely worth a visit. Founded in 1902, this café is not only a cultural gem of Prague, but has also been frequented by celebrities such as Franz Kafka and Albert Einstein. As you step into Café Louvre, you'll be greeted by high ceilings, vintage chandeliers, soft pink walls, and elegant wooden tables and chairs, all full of the elegant style of 19th-century European cafés. This is not only a good place to have a cup of coffee, the meals are also worth seeing. The signature Czech goulash, with rich carrot cream sauce and slow-cooked beef tenderloin, every bite is full of warm homely feeling. The Czech version of duck confit may not have as crispy skin as the French version, but the meat is tender and juicy, with a hint of smoke and spice, and the more you chew it, the more delicious it becomes. As for the Czech fried pork chops, they were a bit dry and lacked a sense of surprise. Whether you come here to have a cup of coffee, taste Czech cuisine, or simply enjoy the unique atmosphere of this century-old cafe, Café Louvre is definitely worth adding to your Prague trip list! #February2025

#2024mapped Prague, as opposed to being part of Eastern Europe, prices in many restaurants are quite high—and yet unworthy. But not this cafe. 📍Cafe Louvre Národní 22, 110 00 Nové Město, Czechia 🕰️Business Hours: 8am (9am on Sat/Sun) to 11.30pm 💞Reasons to Recommend: Though the name suggests that it’s a tourist favourite—and indeed it is—but it is also many locals’ favourite. And it’s priced very reasonably. I visited it only starting the 3rd day of my visit, and eversince then I did every meal of mine here to try out as many items on the menu as I could. What captured me on the first meal was confit pork shoulder in dark beer gravy on the bed of potato puree. The pork shoulder was tender at some parts and fiberish like chicken breast in some other; but the star here was the sauce, which was to die for. It was packed with so much depth of flavors; I only managed to tell garlic and some fermented grain flavor which probably came from beer, but trust me, it’s divine. Such a perfect pairing with the ultra creamy/smooth mashed potatoes. I requested for more sauce and they gave me one whole Aladdin magic lamp of sauce for free 🫣🤣😍 Then I came again for the pistachio puff and dark chocolate drink, which the cafe was particularly renowned for. Personally, I’d like the pistachio flavor to be more prominent, but the dark chocolate was quite the most intense a chocolate drink it can get, because I might even say it’s a chocolate sauce than drink 😂 During one of my visits, I managed to talk to one of the patrons in the next table, and they enjoyed the foie gras pate (on toasted baguette) a lot. I didn’t like a baguette so eventually I ordered something else with foie gras, which I didn’t enjoy it at all and I believe wasn’t the same type of foie gras. So I’d suggest peeps to stick with the pate instead. One thing I like of this place is it runs pretty late! Till 11.30pm, which allows me to have more flexibility to my daily itinerary. And tho it’s always crowded, the place is huge and turnover is quick, so I always get seated in about 10mins. 💰Average Price per Person: €10
