Czech Beer — a Must-Try Experience
The Czech Republic is one of the most famous beer producers in the world. In Prague beer is often cheaper than water (40–60 CZK / €1.5–2.5 per half-litre). Must-try brands:

Tip: visit a traditional pivnice (beer hall) — U Fleků (since 1499), U Zlatého tygra (Bohumil Hrabal’s favorite), Lokál (modern, lively).

Czech cuisine is hearty and calorie-rich, best in cold weather:

- Goulash — the Czech version, with dumplings
- Trdelník — a sugar-coated dough cylinder (a famous street sweet)
- Smažený sýr — fried cheese with bread

- Avoid restaurants in the very center. 100 m from the center — prices halve.
