The “Golden City” surprises all with endless cultural highlights and excellent beer. Do you need any more reasons to go to Prague? In our travel guide you will find great things to do in Prague.

1. Hidden Gem Prague: Cafe Jen

If you are searching for a cute breakfast spot, check out Café Jen. It is a popular neighbourhood café where locals gather over breakfast or weekend brunch. As the interior is mainly white, the space is super bright, and during the summer, they open a beautiful outdoor seating area right on the street. The owners also put lots of love into selecting their coffees and claim that their coffee is fruity, juicy and maybe nutty, but never boring. And this is so true! Try it yourself with a piece of homemade cake, like the carrot cake with walnuts. Arrive early and prepare to queue on Saturday and Sunday mornings as locals love this cafe for a long brunch.

2. Hidden Gem Prague: Eat Trdelnik

The traditional pastry made from freshly grilled dough is a “must eat” in Prague. Sugar and Cinnamon? Almonds? Or filled with nutella? Tough choice! Try the “Tredelnik” at MLS Creperie as they are simply the best and freshly made!

3. Hidden Gem Prague: DOX Centre Museum

The most exciting museum in Prague: it is all about contemporary art! There is a wide range of media, including video, sculpture, photography and painting. It´s a little bit like the Tate Modern in London. Price: If you have a student ID, it costs less than 4 Euro.

4. Hidden Gem Prague: Coda Restaurant

If you fancy lunch or dinner with a view, head to the rooftop of Coda Restaurant. Just sitting on the terrace is an experience alone as you have a view over the roofs of Prague´s old town, but the food is also amazing! The dishes are mostly prepared with fresh, local and preferably organic ingredients. Of course, you can also stop by for a coffee and a piece of cake in the sun. Upon being seated at Coda, the first thing you’ll notice are the very cool plates which were designed by Josef Blecha especially for Coda Restaurant and feature the Rosenthal caricatures of famous musicians. You can also buy them in the gift shop.

5. Hidden Gem Prague: Cafefin

This cafe is probably the most Instagrammable spot in the whole of Prague – indeed, Latte Art at its best. But not only are the lattes special – so is the entire concept of the Cafefin. It´s a combination of Vietnamese and modern cuisine. You have the basics, like avocado toast (with pomegranate, sprouts and egg!) but also the Vietnamese part, with its offerings of the popular “Banh Mi” sandwich. The place is a must-do for both breakfast and lunch!

6. Hidden Gem Prague: Sunset Spot

The grassy hill in Riegrovy Sady is perfect for watching the sunset with friends. After a busy day exploring the city, this place is perfect for having a picnic with a bottle of wine while watching the sun go down. Some people play the guitar here and just enjoy life!

7. Hidden Gem Prague: Manifesto Market

A village made out of containers for art, design, food, education & entertainment. Manifesto Market is located in the heart of Prague and is the new food and culture magnet. The seasonal, free cultural program presents top local DJs, live music, carolers and cooking classes. You could really spend hours here during the summer! But in the winter months, you can also enjoy a hot drink in the transparent plastic “igloos”. Just one thing to remember when you come here, Manifesto is the first fully cashless place in Prague. So, make sure to bring your card!

8. Hidden Gem Prague: Bistro Proti Proudu

‘In coffee we trust’ is the motto of this bistro, which serves breakfast all day. A dream for long sleepers. Proti Proudu is located in the neighborhood of Karlin in Prague. The more understated the house looks from the outside, the more beautiful the interior is for visitors. The industrial lamps, wooden tables, pictures on the walls and all the other features are well-matched and create a great atmosphere. No matter if you crave a good cup of coffee, some cake or a delicious, hearty sandwich, you will get it all here.
