Hotel
- Icon Hotel: This is a 10 minute walk from the main downtown of Prague. It's a small boutique hotel that offers made-to-order breakfast and Hastens beds. So, if you've ever wanted to sleep in a $10,000 bed - this hotel is for you! Highly recommend!
Restaurants
- Nota Bene: A modern Czech restaurant - this has fantastic, high-quality dishes along with an amazing beer selection. The atmosphere here is very cool - exposed brick and duct work and cool music. Highly recommend - but bring cash (they don't accept cards!)
- Restaurace Mlejnice: Want to eat ginormous, traditional Czech portions? This is your spot. The portions here are huge - and delicious. P tried a pork joint the size of his head and I enjoyed a potato hash-brown like dish that could have fed a small family. The vibe is rustic and the steins of beers are as large as the portions. This is right in downtown. A good stop if you are very hungry!
Things to Do
- Prague Castle: This is a no brainer, but we bought a ticket and spent the day poking around Prague Castle. It's more of a district - it includes an art museum, archaeology museum, prison tower, and little shops. It was easy to spend a good half-day poking around
- Botas 66: This is a weird recommendation, but Prague has a famous trainer-type shoe called Botas. Under communism, these were the only shoes allowed - they have now been re-designed into a rainbow of colors and the store is very cool!
- Vysehrad: This is a very, very old fortification that has an amazing view over the entire city - including the castle. It is a great spot for a morning walk - it includes a beautiful cemetery, church, and archaeology museum. Not a must see, but if you have time...this is a good stop! Bonus - it's open Sunday morning!
