The Perfect Summer Day in Prague, Prague, Czech Republic

Summer is a hot commodity in the Czech Republic. It’s the beginning of September and there is a very real sense that in a few short weeks, it’s going to start getting cold around here. So everyone is enjoying the nice weather and getting in as many summer activities as they can.

Cukrarna Alchymista in Prague 7 serves only coffee, tea, and cake. But some days, that’s exactly how you want to start your day. The quaint little stop has a gorgeous backyard seating area that looks like something in a storybook. It’s fairly quiet so you can enjoy the shade of the trees and listen to the birds twittering around you. You may even see a butterfly or two as you enjoy a decadent slice of chocolate cheesecake and a cucumber lemonade.

If you like to start your day with a more traditional breakfast, try Monolok Café in Prague 2 or La Bottega Gastronomica in Prague 3. The good thing about these spots is that they’re out of the busy city center, so you can have a more relaxed breakfast with no wait.

The streets are bustling with people and you can do plenty of browsing and shopping where Old and New Town meet. After a couple of hours, you can stop for a light lunch before you head to the river. If you’re still full from breakfast, you can go to the Bohemian Craft Beer Tasting instead, where you can get dozens of unique local brews and sit under a big umbrella enjoying the breeze. ......
