Ice-skating: is a very popular pursuit in Prague, but ice rinks are only open for 1 or 2 hours a day and at weekends. In the winter, outdoor skating on the reservoirs is popular and there is the added incentive of being able to enjoy beautiful scenery while you skate. Walking: is regarded as being the best form of exercise and it is also one of the best ways to fully experience the city of Prague. All of the major attractions are well within walking distance and during the summer, many of the main streets are lined with stunning blossoms and flowers, making walking anywhere a very pleasurable experience. If however you are visiting in winter, you should be advised to wrap up warm before stepping outside into the sometimes bitterly cold air. The two main shopping areas in the city are located around Wenceslas Square and Old Town Square. Wenceslas Square is a large pedestrian shopping area where large department stores and shopping malls can be found. The area around Old Town Square is home to a number of smaller shops selling souvenirs and local knick-knacks. Jewellery, puppets and other gifts can also be purchased here. For those looking to indulge themselves, Prague has a small selection of designer shops such as Louis Vuitton and Hermes, but many people prefer just to window shop at these outlets. Eating out: Prague is home to a number of international and local restaurants catering to all tastes and budgets. The selection of international restaurants is endless, with Chinese, Indian, French and Italian dishes all on offer. Traditional Czech cuisine is popular and often a lot cheaper than international food. The standards of local restaurants can be judged by how many locals are eating there. If it is busy, you are likely guaranteed a good meal. Local cuisine usually includes pork or beef which is often served with dumplings and vegetables. Seafood is also very popular and goes very well with the locally brewed beer. The main areas for good restaurants include Wenceslas Square and Old Town Square. |
