The last week's edition of one of the most popular Czech weekly magazines, Tyden, ran a feature on bad restaurants in Prague that cheat and rob tourists and locals alike. Oh boy, what a read! We thought we should post a summary of the article here as a public service announcement for all potential visitors of Prague.

Prague is one of the most beautiful places on the planet - there's no doubt about that. The "city of thousand spires" offers innumerable sights and unparalleled views. However, its image is soiled by a few problems whose resolution has long been overdue. As part of the service we offer to incoming tourists, we believe it is our duty to point these problems out and to warn you about them. Exchange offices in Prague are one of these problems.

The Czech Republic is so much more than just Prague. Sadly, only few tourists ever venture out into the beautiful Czech and Moravian countryside, passing their time only in Prague, save for the occasional visit of the nearby Karlštejn Castle. Although there is nothing wrong with that, to actually get to know the Czech Republic, or any other country for that matter, you must leave the “big city" behind and explore smaller towns and the countryside.
