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/32045 The park is well served by drinking establishments. Mlíkárna is my favourite beer garden. It’s open from early April until late October and, while it can be crowded on a sunny weekend day, offers a takeaway (“sebo” in Czech) option so you can enjoy your beer in a quieter spot.
At the weekends Mlíkárna also has an outdoor barbeque offering sausages (klobasa) and other snacks.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/32045 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31341 Grebovka Pavilion is a great place to sit and relax following a gentle walk around the sloping park, which is also home to a vineyard, a Neo Renaissance palace and a grotto. It has inside and outside seating and offers coffee, tea, alcoholic beverages, and snacks including massive waffles and delectable ice-cream.
A wonderful place to spend a summer afternoon.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31341 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31214 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31214 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31210 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/31210 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16934
The modern art palace of the National Gallery is not far from here and is a great gallery which many tourists miss because it is not near the Old Town, the Castle or Malostranska. It is usually quite quiet and I really recommend seeing it. It could take most of a whole day with a lunch break to visit all of the floors, so one and a half hours is the minimum time I recommend. You can have tea or coffee or a cold drink and snacks there.

The vast majority of people who visit Prague see only the three main areas with maybe also the Jewish Quarter and/or New Town and miss these attractions I mention. But especially if you have been to Prague before, make a point not to miss them. Don't forget the great value of Pension Vltava and recommend it to those who would like a very basic, clean and quiet place to stay with the added bonus of cheap drinks in your room at any hour.

For £7 or £8, have a sauna for a few hours in a basement private day spa near Holesovice station. Another similarly priced sauna in Holesovice is infinit (infinit.cz) which also has a jacuzzi.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/16934 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3136 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3136 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/2040
There is a lovely church and graveyard where famous Czechs are buried (politicians, artists) - in fact Dvorak's grave is here.

The advantage of Stromovka is that it's so big that it can absorb large numbers of people without feeling crowded.

Among other things it's a popular place for strolling, inline skating, biking and just sitting down and watching life go by.

In winter it morphs into a favourite sledging and cross country skiing spot.

Next door to Stromovka is the Výstaviště (exhibition grounds). Here there are various attractions including a fun fair for kids, Lapidarium, Mořský svět (aquarium) and the famous Křižíkova fontana (Křižík Fountain), which forms the centrepiece of a sound and light show each summer. The city's planetarium is also located here.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5038 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5019 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/5019 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/371 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/371
