New Town, Prague
There’s spring in the air.
A short but eventful trip to Prague focused on exploring the New Town neighourhood—and it turned out to be just as charming and cool as you'd expect. Here’s a little glimpse of what you can explore and discover locally.
Let’s eat well
Palo Verde BistroA vegan place offering breakfast, mains, and other treats. I visited early in the morning to start my day on the right note, and it’s a really cozy bistro. They offer quite a few breakfast options; I went with the scrambled tofu plate: scrambled tofu, vegan sausages, a side of roasted tomatoes, salad, and bread with herb butter. On the right, a very simple but nice iced latte.
StrechaAnother fully vegan spot - employing people who have experienced homelessness or served a sentence. The lunch menu changes weekly, but the regular one includes some Czech classics made plant-based, along with alcohol-free wine, mocktails, and more. I treated myself to something called Budvar goulash, a satisfying, smoky, soy-meaty dish served with bread dumplings.
Add these to your map as well:Elias Coffee Shop – visit for coffee, stay for food
La Donuteria – donuts, including vegan options
Kookie – homemade cookies, with vegan options
Sunny afternoon walks
ePiPíA design stationery store with beautiful items to browse - stickers, notebooks, postcards, and so much more. When you enter, it truly feels like a safe space where you can spend long minutes admiring all the ideas. Treat yourself to pretty things!
Lucerna Great Hall - a spacious venue hosting concerts*
Hugo walks barefoot - Czech toys
Touristy things: Slovanský Island, Dancing House, New Town Hall, National Theatre, National Museum
*No one ever told me Blossoms are this fun live—so it’s my responsibility to tell you. They were the perfect support act before Inhaler. Such a superb event. Thank you, Prague.
