Here's an interesting note about eating healthily in Prague, where to get five servings of fruit and vegetables per day, you might end up eating strawberry dumplings. If you need exercise and fruit, walking around for hours can replace visits to the gym.

I found a good site on Czech healthy lifestyle at www.traveliana.com/prague-old-town-pubs-tour.html.

The best thing about the beer is the price, 50p for a half litre. Of the big 5 brewers, Urquell is the market leader controlling more than half the market, which used to make a great lager, until they changed the brewing process, now there are far more interesting brews to be drunk. Try Gambrinus pale lager which is more of a golden beer, the style that as become very popular in the UK (like Youngs Golden Zest), but for the most interesting flavours try the dark beers, like the magnificent Kozel, similiar to the new wave of milds on the UK market, but without the image problem, my local pub in London has Budvar dark beer on tap, no milds!

A pub/restaurant between Betlémské náměstí and Staroměstké náměstí.

Huge beer cellar with good atmosphere, mentioned in The Good Soldier Švejk.

Worth remembering for the fact it serves food very late - up to 1am normally - which is extremely handy to know if you've just arrived in Prague off a late train/plane.

And as an added bonus, the food's both decent and fairly reasonable - expect to pay about CZK 250-300 for a hearty meal plus a beer or two.

Jilská 4, Praha 1. From Můstek station, walk towards Staroměstké náměstí and take 1st left (Rytiřská). At the next crossroads go right up Skořepka to Betlémské náměstí, then right again into Jilská.

Lovely little tea shop in the shadow of the castle. Great variety of tea, good for snacks too.

Nerudova 19. Half way up the steep hill. Spot all the motifs and designs above the doorways as you go!
