Where to Go for Lunch and a Beer
Among the best spots for traditional Czech cuisine—not just in Prague but throughout the country—is definitely Lokál U Bílé kuželky from the Ambiente restaurant chain. Czech classics are served here to the highest standard, and the locally brewed Pilsner beer, poured with precision, is renowned far and wide.

Where to Go for Dinner
If you’re in the mood for authentic Italian cuisine, you’ll love the Piknik Park restaurant on Kampa, near Charles Bridge and the Lennon Wall. It features a charming and lesser-known garden and a year-round heated terrace overlooking the Čertovka River. Stop by for the best spaghetti and excellent wine.

Where to Go for a Walk
Not all parks are created equal, a fact you’ll realize the moment you live near the Wallenstein Palace, which includes the geometrically precise and perfectly maintained Baroque Wallenstein Garden. Another destination for your walks could be Vojanovy sady, considered the oldest partially preserved garden in Prague.
