http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18756
It's walking distance to the centre of the city but secluded enough within its diplomatic quarter to be quiet.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/18756 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17888
Hearty Czech soups are cooked daily, fresh tea can be had from big caddies or, if you want to spend more, they will cook a steak for you to order and the cook will bring it to the table.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17888 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15247 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15247 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14850 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/14850 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13457
The service is quite superb, which really stands out after a couple of days of Czech service, which can be surly. Have the Czech breakfast, which includes delicious apple cake. The English breakfast - toast and marmalade, baked beans and chopped up frankfurters, is only worth ordering for its comedy value.

As to Prague, being careful crossing the roads cannot be stressed enough. The drivers only stop on red lights (in theory) or if a pedestrian's corpse jams their wheels. Beware the trams, which are quiet and easily missed above the hubbub.

Try to get off the main streets at night, as the pimps, drug dealers, strip club and bar advertisers are utterly persistent and will follow you for long distances. Unless, of course, you are there for "sucky sucky" or the half price attentions of a lesbian midget.

One more thing: Large numbers of British stag groups are absolutely running riot there, and you can feel the resentment, even hatred, of many of the locals. If you are Prague-bound, start practising your Canadian accent now.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13457 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12320
I found a good site on Czech healthy lifestyle at www.traveliana.com/prague-old-town-pubs-tour.html.

I must say that the food and service were fantastic! The location is great, away from all the tourists, but conveniently located just a few Metro stops from Old Town.

We liked it so much, we went back three days later after the opera.

The restaurant is usually packed, so make a reservation.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12313 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9716 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9716 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8492 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8492 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6974
Limited menu, but good wine and excellent hosts.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/6974 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5805 It was busy on the Wednesday night we went, but we had no trouble finding a table in the cellar bar, which turns into a dance club later on. This bar attracts plenty of locals, which is always a good sign, the staff are also very friendly, not always a Prague strong point. Wonderful!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5805 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5609 A variety of different food is served, there’s something which should please everyone's tastes. The restaurant is nicely furnished and along with its downstairs location and dark setting makes it feel warm and comfortable. The prices are very good, considering the central location of the restaurant and its warm and stylish atmosphere. Families are welcome and the service is friendly and quick, with English widely spoken.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5609 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5359 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5359 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3256 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3256 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3254 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3254 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3183 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3183 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3168 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3168 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3154 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3154 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3133 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3133 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3113 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3113
