A foodies delight! Passage with many different small boutique stores for food and wine. There are Bah Mi subs, sushi, wine shop, chocolate store, and many more. Personal favorites are Sisters (modern take on traditional Czech open faced sandwiches) and Nase Maso (great butcher shop with sandwiches and steak tartar available to eat in)

One of our favorite Prague spots. Worth going just for the beautifully preserved ornate ceiling, but the food is fantastic as well. French bistro style with some Czech classics in the mix. Excellent service. Can get busy at times.

"eclectic eats, crafted cocktails, wonderful wines, alliteration always"
Our favorite restaurant in Prague, recently opened by globe trotting chef Chris Hora. Menu changes daily, featuring locally sourced products. A bit pricey for Prague, but incredibly worth it.

Super lunch spot on your apartment block. Just head left as you exit the building. If you can snag a table outside, this is one of the better people watching spots in Prague.

The Metronome is a giant, functional metronome in Letná Park, overlooking the Vltava River and the city center of Prague. It was erected in 1991, on the plinth left vacant by the destruction in 1962 of an enormous monument to former Soviet leader Joseph Stalin. The 75-foot-tall (23 m) Metronome is now mostly a scenic vista and a meeting place for young people. It was designed by international artist Vratislav Novak. The area behind the metronome is also a popular skatespot where skateboarders from Europe and around the world congregate and film throughout the year.
