It got mentioned in the Guardian this week as part of a typical click piece on good places to have a beer abroad; it's the first that the place has come to my attention. I'll be visiting Prague over the Christmas period and wouldn't mind visiting somewhere different alongside the likes of U Sudu and U Slovanské Lipy. Planning a trip to Krakow in the summer, I read through the Krakow v Prague thread and then reminisced through this thread and just saw your post...hence the lateness of the reply. I went to Vinohradský Pivovar in January last year. Despite being a solo diner on a Monday night they hummed and hawed because I didn't have a reservation (the place was far from full, they seated me downstairs beside the kitchen). The house beer was good, I had the 11°. It's unfiltered hence the cloudy appearance. Edited March 21, 2021 by Arch Stanton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 To eat I had pork schnitzel with potato salad. It was no more than OK. Total for food and 2 beers was around CzK250. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

19QOS19 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Prague is a stunning City and I'd certainly visit again. The only downside was the people we came into contact with: complete arseholes. I assume we just got unlucky. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched a lot of his videos before I visited Prague after someone in this thread recommended them.I was genuinely excited when I was there and clocked some of the crooked shops and ATMs from his videos.

When I was there in January last year I stayed in a flat in Rumunska just round from IP Pavlova. This ATM was beside the entrance to the tenement. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Stanton Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 This weekend marked the anniversary of the Soviets crushing the Prague Spring. Anyone familiar with the city (eg @virginton) should find these "then and now" pictures really interesting. https://www.praguemorning.cz/the-soviet-occupation-of-prague-then-and-now 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diegomarahenry Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 For anyone with an interest in Prague and are bored with the royal coverage on the telly, they can watch a live stream of a lubricating tram make its way around Prague every day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingTON Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Prague 1 is all of the city centre. Whether you're in the Old Town or the New Town depends on the address but there's no real *bad* area to be in. I'd prefer to be a fair bit away from Wenceslas and Old Town Square for a bit more peace (and value) but that's preference only. Unless there are mobility issues everything in Prague 1 is easily in reach. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would avoid taxis altogether for your trip, they can be a rip off. Use Uber if you need a car during your stay. The bus stop is located directly outside the airport arrivals terminal & will take you to a metro stop in about 20 minutes. Your destination for this hotel is 'Malostranska' metro station, a 10/15 minute journey. Once you exit Malostranska station, look uphill to to left & you'll see the Hoffmeister. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 Last time I got either a free or very cheap airport taxi (through Booking.com IIRC), so I'd look out for that as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arch Stanton Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 Uber are to take over as the city's official airport taxi operator. This should put paid to the rogue drivers who think nothing of quoting in excess of 1500CzK for the trip to the city centre. With Uber it should be around 350-400CzK. However, the usual advice (and I'll be doing this myself when I go back in a couple of weeks), if you only have cabin baggage use the bus/metro for 40CzK. I'd only use the Uber if you have a load of bulky luggage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planning on doing a day trip back to Plzen (first visit since 2014) and a trip to the Svijany brewery well north-east of Prague. I'd like to catch a Friday night or possibly a Saturday game before flying back from Berlin on the Sunday. The Prague derby is that weekend but Bohemians game or Jablonec v Liberec (a Port Glasgow v Greenock affair) are more realistic options. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
