Prague's river side

The river is back! Prague is reclaiming Vltava with a renovated river side (in Czech Náplavka). A place very popular by locals is worth of visiting also because of their photogenic modern architecture.

Take a look on Honest Guide video about the most popular Rašín Embankment - or take a look on events on the less crowded Hořejší Embankment.

Visit Prague's river Rašín Embankment on Saturday for the popular Farmers' Market

The Embankment has some spectacular views to offer.

An alternative to the Royal Route

The Royal Route is one of the most crowded routes in Prague. You will rather experience crowds of tourists and cheap souvenir shops than a magical feeling of a former coronation route of Czech kings.


Yet my friend tried to find an alternative - which will show you Prague much less crowded and much more authentic.

It starts at the Old Town square and it brings you to the Charles Bridge - yet it follows a different path as the map below illustrates. Let me know how did you like it!

For Foodies: Taste of Prague

Do you know Prague's food and coffee scene is booming? Discover the richness of Czech cuisine on some of Taste of Prague foodie tours (this is not sponsoring, just a personal recommendation). I used their tips in my blog (e.g. about Czech sweets) and they are really passionate about food and Prague.

For example, they wrote about the best (Michelin star and Bib Gourmand) restaurants in Prague, but also about 12 Things You Should Know Before Visiting Prague which serves well as a short introduction to Prague (with a foodie, walker perspective).
