I have just became the licensed guide. 🥳🥳🥳

Stay tunned for more adventures with us.

If you happen to be in Ligna (Světozor) passage, go to Ovocný Světozor and ask for strawberry-banana “točená” (soft serve) ice-cream.

This ice-cream is connected with history of Alois Linka’s family, one of the first and biggest delicatessen owner in Prague. Alois Linka opened his delicatessen in 1911 and the menu had almost one hundred pages including turtle soup, lobsters, escargot, “chlebíčky” (czech opened faced sandwiches) or cherries in the liquor. His dream was to build a delicatessen imperium in Prague, he even put his sons to study as pastry chef, butcher, baker and buyer to help him there but unfortunately the WW2 and communist regime later made his dreams disapear.

One of his sons became a famous pastry cook and founded and led the Ovocný bar Pramen during 44 years where he also invented this popular strawbery-bannana🍓🍌 ice cream and Cuban cake with bananas, cream and chocolate. Ovocný Světozor then copied his original recipe.

Next time when you will be tasting this ice cream, remember the famous history of Linka’s family.🍦

Easter is approaching, so it’s a time to check some of these Easter markets in Prague. When you will be there, taste “Mazanec” sweet Easter bread with cross in the middle filled with almonds and raisins, check some “Kraslice” Easter decorated eggs and buy some “Pomlázka” to whip your woman😱 (explanation of this tradition is coming in next post, stay tunned).

Let us know how you liked the Easter markets in Prague.😉

Do you know where to find this amazing view while at Prague Castle? One of the best view at Prague.📷

When you are at Third courteyard of Prague Castle and you have already passed the Obelisk and the statue of St. George battling with the dragon🐉 you continue and on your right hand you will find the Bull Staircase🐂, take the stairs and you will appear at Na Valech garden in the south of the castle with this amazing view.

Do you like taking trams in Prague?

04/10/2022

Universitas Carolina.

Charles University in Prague is one of the oldest in Europe. Established in 1348 by king Charles IV.

29/09/2022

Lucerna Palace.

Place Not To Be Missed.

The Palace was built by Václav Havel (the grandfather of Václav Havel the former president of Czech Republic) in 1907-1921.

You will find there a cinema, few coffee places, ballroom/concert hall, Lucerna music hall club, functional paternoster lift, beautiful rooftop with the bar or the controversial statue of St.Václav by the sculpturer David Černý.

27/09/2022

Theater Na Fidlovačce.

"Fidlovačka" was a spring celebration of Prague's shoemakers which took place in the same park where the theater stands today.

Fidlovačka (or No Anger and No Brawl) is also the name of the famous play of Josef Kajetán Tyl where the the song "Kde domov můj" (Where Home Is) was used for the first time in 1834 and lately became the national czech anthem.

Have you heard the czech anthem already? Do you like it? 🇨🇿🎻

This picture was taken from terrace garden of Carmelite Convent in Hradčany.

It's open for public because it's part of Fortna community centre which is run by monks on the monastery premises.

Would you try to have look while passing by?

15/09/2022

Stavovské (Estates) theater was built in 1781-82 and opened in 1783. In 1787 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart conducted his opera Don Giovanni here. It is the only theatre left standing where Mozart performed.

Few centuries after that Czech film director Miloš Forman was shooting few scenes from his Oscar winning movie Amadeus here.

Would you like to visit the theater where Mozart performed? It's worth it.😉

Prague's tramways.

The model of the tram you can see on this picture is Tatra T3. In 1988, the T3 tram entered the Guinness Book of Records as the most widely produced tram in the world (about 14 000 cars produced between 1962-1997). It is also the most common type of tram you will see in Prague.

We have chose the colours of our brand exactly according to the ones on Tatra T3 tram: red as on the side and front, yellow-beige as on the roof, bright yellow as the registration number and blue as the tram number. The same colours are in our logo and we are using them for the highlights.

What do you think? Do you like these trams and colours? Have you seen these trams in different cities than Prague?

Great tip, isn't it? Or you know what. Would you manage to skip the Charles bridge all together while visiting Prague? And would I resist if putting myself in your shoes? Tell us in the comments what's your strategy to avoid the crowds!

Our first Mini Travel Guide is starting at Letná, the calm, family oriented, but also artsy, bohemian and hipster district of Prague. 

Let's start our walk at Letenské sady, perfect spot for summer picnic. You can admire one of the best panoramic views at Prague's bridges from Hanavský pavilion, have a beer in Letná beer garden (more in Beergarden highlights) and watch some skateboarders at Metronome. The 25m high functional Prague Metronome was erected at the same spot where an enormous monument to former Soviet leader Joseph Stalin used to be. The Metronome is a symbol to remember the horrible past and time passing inevitably. Under the Metronome you will find the outside cultural center with a bar, live concerts or open air projections.

Then you can visit the National Technical Museum where you can see for example Tatra 80 (1935), the car of the first president - founder of Czechoslovakia Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk.🇨🇿



To finish our mini-tour with something sweet, have a cake and coffee in the fairy-tale-like garden of Alchymista coffee shop. They have amazing cheesecakes😋👌
