DK Travel : Prague

At the geographical heart of Europe, Prague’s beautiful cityscape has been carved and sustained by a variety of emperors, artists and religious communities, from the Gothic exuberance of its castle and cathedral, to the dignity of the medieval Jewish Cemetery, and the 19th-century opulence of the “new” town. Under Communist rule, Prague was off the tourist map, but since 1989 the city has seen a surge of visitors eager to take in this spectacular city.

Rudý Baron

In this Red Baron-themed restaurant the menu maintains an American focus, with a few European touches, such as beefsteak with truffles.
Safir Grill

A wide selection of falafel, kebabs and other Middle Eastern specialities.
Sarah Bernhardt

French cuisine in an opulent Art Nouveau setting inspired by Alfons Mucha’s paintings of the French actress. Bohumil Hrabal celebrated the hotel in his novel I Served the King of England .
Satay

A small restaurant serving Indonesian fast food. The limited menu can be tailored to suit vegetarians’ needs.
Sbratření

This bronze statue recalls the Red Army’s liberation of Prague in 1945: a grateful resistance fighter greets a Soviet footsoldier with a bunch of lilac and a, presumably brotherly, kiss. It’s one of the few pro-Soviet monuments still standing in Prague.
Schoeblingova lékárna

The best part of having a headache in Prague is buying your pain relievers in centuries-old pharmacies like this one. Closed at weekends.
Sex Machine Museum

An exhibition in a slightly different sense, this is one show definitely not for the kids. The museum traces the history of gratifying instruments from their origins to the modern day. While not entirely without cultural merit, the overall package is rather bizarre. There is, predictably, a gift shop.
Shadow Cafe

A funky little bar near Kampa Park with music, drinking, DJing and fusballing
Shoenborn Palace

Czechoslovakia’s first ambassador to the United States sold the palace to the US government in 1925. Count Colloredo-Mansfeld owned the palace in the 17th century: having lost a leg in the Thirty Years’ War, he had the stairs reconstructed so he could ride his horse into the building.
Siam-I-San

Fiery curries and other Thai specialities.
