Detailed itinerary

We'll meet in the center for your convenience but don't worry, we won't stay here for long! Your guide will wait for you in front of the main entrance to the Municipal House, an Art-Nouveau building that houses the famous Smetana Concert Hall as well as a number of wonderful restaurants and wine bars.

Our first stop, a brand new restaurant with a modern take on Czech cuisine.

This square is also a park and it's the perfect place for locals to hang out in the summer. We'll check out the great view and than head for food - that's why we are here in the first place!

You thought Les Invalides, or Invalidovna as we call it in Czech was just in Paris, right? Let us show you this architectural gem and how a certain gentleman's idea came to life here. Oh and have we mentioned we're going to it nearby? But you were expecting as much by now, weren't you?

Karlin Baracks are a true hidden gem in this district, that's no cliché at all in this. We simply cannot avoid stopping here and showing this stunning courtyard with an amazing cafe/pub (they serve both delish coffee and amazing beer here) right in the center. Let's try it out, shall we?
