Aside from seeing the sites of Prague, you must sample their food. One of their most common dishes is called the knedlik which is a dumpling that is cut into slices and served with a wonderful, tasty gravy.

If you enjoy meat, you will definitely want to try their “spis” which is like a shish-kebabs and the superb medallions. Most meat in Prague are pork and beef, but you will not have a hard time finding lamb, chicken and turkey.

Czechs love sweets and you will sample it in most of their main dishes as well. They also enjoy spices like caraway and dill. Their condiments are very European with horseradish, sauerkraut, and mustard.

The food in Prague, as in other Czech cities do not necessarily cater to diet food. So, if you are thinking that your order of salad will be lean and sparse, think again. The Czech love food and even their salads are rich and creamy.

Have your authentic rich meal with a bottle of the national beverage which is – the beer! No trip to Prague is worth its weight without sampling the most famous beer of Prague, Pils beer was created and invented here. As they say in this country, Dobrou Chut! (that’s Bon appetit)

Abaton – this is a humongous warehouse for concerts and festivals. There are many things to see and taste here so traveling to the wastelands will be well worth the effort.
