Friday is nearly a weekend, right? Therefore we have decided to show you a quirky mix of places, that are not really connected with fashion, but to us, they remind of a nice weekend or holiday city walk.

Hello dear friends of the famous Taste of Prague and ahoj Jan and Zuzi!

We are really happy to be the very first ones to share our secret tips on Prague with you. Yes, we have made some wonderful selection dedicated to fashion and design shopping mostly. Each day starting from now, we will bring you a short list of places, shops and showrooms where you can find a local Czech products or a very nice design selections. So are you ready to discover the fashion and design side of Prague with us?

So we're sitting in a cafe, researching for our US trip, and we get an email from the Ambiente group of restaurants: They are opening a new season of their beer draughting school, two people cancelled just two days before the first session, and we are invited to fill in the vacancies. We did actually want to join a class and promised ourselves we would go after our main season was over, so this was a great opportunity.

It was a nice season when we think about it. We've served lots of great, delicious (and mostly pretty fattening) food, changed the route of our existing tour quite a bit, added another tour to the portfolio, drank lots of wine with our beloved guests in the Moravian wine country, and - most importantly - met lots of great people we will never forget (yes, we are talking about YOU!).  

We love food festivals. Heck, we spent two hours stuck on the highway just to get to the Brno Street Food Festival a few days ago. It’s a great opportunity to taste many dishes and foods in one place, meet the people behind the food you love and foodies like yourself to chat, share some tips and exchange notes. For foreign visitors, food festivals are also a great place to blend in with the locals and really get as much flavors from their stay in Prague as possible.

Prague is so much more than just the Charles Bridge, the Prague Castle and the Old Town. We want you to see more of Prague so that you can bring home a much truer image of what Prague is and how people live here. Today’s Prague escape will take us to the Vrsovice district. Vrsovice always played second fiddle to the upscale Vinohrady district. But with the reputation of the Krymska street and the surrounding areas rising, it has recently become a hip place to be, boasting a communal spirit, restaurant days and many street events. And for a few hours’ trip outside of the tourist centre, Vrsovice with its parks and views is hard to beat. Here’s our Vrsovice itinerary: 

Ahhh, we love Saturdays! Especially when the weather is nice and we did not stay up late the night before, Saturday morning is definitely one of our most favorite times of the week. We will reveal the secret of a great Prague Saturday morning: a visit to the farmers' market at the river embankment under the Vysehrad fortress! It's a great way to blend in with the locals, taste some great food and enjoy sights and places that only the locals (and now you) know about.
