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.

Staromacek Restaurant

Staromacek is an old traditional Czech restaurant located just off the Old Town Square, in the heart of Prague. It is fairly basic, but good value for money and typically Czech. The best thing to get here is something traditional : goulash, pork, venison, sausage or trout. Waiters are in traditional costume, and after dark the lights are dimmed and candles are lit around the room making this quite a special location
Staropramen

The home-town favourite has a light, fruity flavour. Brewed in the Smíchov district, its popularity owes as much to marketing as it does to local pride.
Stavovské divadlo

The Estates Theatre is well known as the venue where Mozart’s Don Giovanni saw its first performance. It was also the first Czech-language playhouse in what was then a largely German-speaking city. The productions occasionally leave something to be desired, but if you don’t see the Don here, then where?
Strahov Stadium

Prague Castle would fit inside this massive arena situated on Petřín Hill. The stadium was built for Sokol, an organisation that promoted physical culture. It was first used in 1926 to host traditional gymnastic rallies or slets . Today, the stadium is a popular music venue and local kids crowd in to the space to see the likes of U2, Ozzy Osbourne and numerous other touring rock bands.
Street Theatre Festival

The creative minds behind the Alfred ve Dvoře theatre bring their trademark genre-bending artistry out of the theatre and parade it through the city centre on stilts. Offerings are both comic and macabre – much like the city itself.
Střelecký Island

Lose yourself watching the Vltava rush past. Early risers can watch the sunrise strike the castle. In summer there’s a popular outdoor cinema and live-music stage here.
Stromovka

Otakar II established the royal hunting park here in 1266. A public garden since 1804, its ponds are ideal for ice-skating in winter and duck-feeding in summer. Its meandering paths offer easy strolling.
Stromovka

King Otakar established the royal game park here in the 13th century; it’s been a public garden since 1804 (stromovka means “place of trees”). Stroll, skate or simply enjoy the ancient trees by day and visit the planetarium by night. The fish ponds were a creation of Rudolf II – the emperor drilled a tunnel under Letná to bring in water to supply them.
