Prague like never before
There’s nothing we love more than our guests or our city, but in recent years we must admit that mass tourism has been a challenge for locals as well as tourists who seek historic charm, not crowds. When giving recommendations to our guests, we always try to suggest places locals frequent, to show them a different, more intimate side of our beloved Prague.
With all the challenges the Czech capital is currently facing due to worldwide travel restrictions, one thing remains certain: Locals and visitors alike are rediscovering Prague like never before, enjoying Old Town, Malá Strana, and other historic quarters minus the crowds. A totally different experience and the best way to appreciate the beauty of the Golden City.

Bokovka
DIRECTIONSOur favourite place at the Prague wine-bar scene and one of the offshoots of the popular restaurant network, Ambiente. If you are serious about your homework of getting to know Czech wines, you could scarcely find a better place in downtown Prague to score some valuable points. The punk interior looks at first glance like a ransacked cellar, but don’t be mistaken. Bokovka is one of the cosiest places to spend an evening in Prague.
Rieger Gardens
DIRECTIONSThis park, over a century old, shelters intimate nooks and places with wooded areas, open grassy areas and unusual vistas of the city. Locals usually gather there to watch the sunset. Vineyards used to be located here, and all that remains today are parts of the original buildings: the Classicist lookout from the 1920s, renovated into a restaurant, and a three-sided obelisk of sandstone from around 1840.
Villa Müller
DIRECTIONSThe villa, built from 1928 to 1930 is a chef-d'oeuvre of world architectural avant-garde. František Müller was a prominent member of Czech society and he gave the project for his own representative home to one of the greatest architects of the time – Adolf Loos. The construction is superficially strictly functionalist; of primary interest is its internal layout, the Raumplan.
