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.

The Embankment has some spectacular views to offer.

Prague's centre basics + extended insider's tips

My friend went to Prague for the first time – they had a hotel at the center near the Wenceslas Square (Václavské náměstí) and he had a question: 

 „Is there any restaurant or bar or club which is a MUST TO SEE ( like an insider) ?“

Since I am not a bar or club expert I wrote about Prague's centre basics to give him a basic orientation. Also tips where to eat, the best of my knowledge about bars and clubs, tips about art (which I am much more informed about) and also a tip for the MUST-HAVE cake.

Note: I am updating and extending this article to reply also to other friends' questions.

Off the beaten track: Prague 2, Vinohrady and Albertov

If you have seen all the traditional tourist places (Old & New Town, the Castle with Mala Strana, Vysehrad) and you want to get to know real Prague life - explore Vinohrady and Albertov! Those are quarters in the wider centre with interesting places and genuine atmosphere. This is the right tour for your second or third trip to Prague.
