Prague has a special kind of magic after dark — and for me, live music is one of the best ways to feel it. I love jazz, and these are places I’m genuinely happy to recommend to my guests. Each is completely different: jazz by the river, a lively evening in the city centre, or an intimate club hidden in the streets of Old Prague. 🎶 Choose a place, order a drink, forget about sightseeing for a while and just enjoy the music and the moment. ❤️ And if you need a local tip while

Food is part of discovering Prague too. 😊 And I always tell my guests: don’t just see the city — taste it! These are some of the places I personally like to recommend, from traditional Czech restaurants and historic cafés to a little bistro where you can simply stop for something homemade and delicious. Try Czech classics, have a local beer, sit down and enjoy the atmosphere. Prague is best discovered slowly, with good food and good company. ❤️ Dobrou chuť — enjoy your meal!

One of my favourite things about Prague is that the same place can have two completely different lives. ☕️🍷 Come during the day for a good coffee, something sweet and a quiet moment — then return in the evening and you may find a completely different atmosphere waiting for you. These are some of my personal favourites: places I genuinely like and would recommend to a friend visiting Prague. 💛 No tourist traps, just lovely places where you can sit down, slow down and enjoy t

Prague is much more than the Old Town and Charles Bridge. 😊 Here are some of my favourite places that I recommend to my guests — beautiful architecture, peaceful gardens, amazing views and a few places you might otherwise walk straight past. Some are famous, some are hidden gems, but each of them tells a little piece of Prague’s story. 💛 Save the list, choose your favourites and enjoy discovering my city! And if you need a local tip while you’re here, just ask me. Martina ❤

Prague isn’t only about what you see — sometimes you should taste it too. 😊🍷 These are a few of my personal favourites: a local beer from my neighbourhood, wine grown right here in Prague, a historic vineyard with a beautiful view, and a Czech lemonade that I genuinely love. I always enjoy showing my guests the small local experiences behind the famous sights — because they are often the ones you remember most. 💛 So find a beautiful spot, raise your glass and enjoy Prague

Prague has a wonderfully sweet side — and I definitely think you should taste it. 😊 These are some of the Czech treats I love recommending to my guests: větrník, traditional koláče, apple strudel and Moravian frgály. Each has its own story, tradition and a little place in our culture. 💛 And one extra tip from me: if you see buchtičky se šodó, try them! They are small, soft yeast buns served with warm vanilla sauce — simple, comforting and very Czech. One of those desserts t

Czech food isn’t only about big meals — some of our best flavours come in small portions, preferably with a cold beer or a glass of wine. 😊🍺 These are a few traditional snacks I love introducing to my guests: nakládaný hermelín, utopenec, pickles, škvarky and our famously aromatic Olomoucké tvarůžky. Some are mild, some are definitely an adventure 😄 — but they are all a little taste of Czech pub culture. Order something you’ve never tried before, raise your glass and enjoy

Czech cuisine is warm, hearty and full of tradition — and tasting it is one of the best ways to discover our culture. 🇨🇿 These are some dishes I love recommending to my guests: svíčková with Czech dumplings, crispy pork knee, traditional beef tartare, creamy kulajda and our simple but wonderful garlic soup. 😊 Some recipes have been served in Czech families for generations, others belong to our beloved pub culture — but all of them tell a little story about who we are. Be c

You don’t need to speak Czech to enjoy Prague — but knowing just a few words can make your experience a little more personal. ❤️ Czechs really appreciate it when visitors try even a simple Dobrý den or Děkuji. Don’t worry about perfect pronunciation. The effort itself is what matters. One little tip from a Czech local:The internet often teaches Ahoj for “hello”, but in Czech it is very informal. We wouldn’t normally use it with strangers, in a restaurant or a shop — and some

Prague is not only about beautiful buildings — its stories live in books too. ❤️ Here are three books I love recommending to my guests: stories that can help you understand Czech history, our ideas, and some of the people who shaped them. From the Holocaust, through the visionary world of Karel Čapek, to modern Czech history — perhaps one of these books will let you take a little piece of Prague home with you. With love from Prague,

“If nobody is offended, surprised, or amused, is it really contemporary art?” When most visitors think of Prague, they imagine Gothic towers, medieval streets, and centuries of history. But Prague is also home to some of Europe’s most fascinating contemporary art. And no artist has left a bigger mark on the city than David Černý. Love his work or hate it, one thing is certain: you won’t forget it. His sculptures make people stop, smile, laugh, debate, and sometimes simply ask

Most tourists come to Prague for the famous sights — the Astronomical Clock, Charles Bridge or Prague Castle. But Prague is also about taste. ✨ Czech desserts are cozy, delicious and best enjoyed slowly with good coffee in one of Prague’s beautiful cafés. 😊 1. Kremrole Light, crispy pastry filled with sweet vanilla cream. Dangerous because one is never enough.😂 👉 I especially recommend trying it in Café Platýz together with one of their amazing coffees or a homemade lemona

(from a local guide) Hi, I’m Martina — the Lady of Golden Prague. If you are about to visit Prague, let me gently share a few things I wish someone told you before your first walk through this city. 1. What should I see? Of course — the Prague Astronomical Clock and Charles Bridge. They are beautiful, and they deserve your time. But if you only stay there, you will meet Prague… and thousands of other visitors at the same moment. If you step just a little further — to Nový Svě

“A simple guide to help you understand Prague — not just see it.” Visiting Prague for the first time can feel overwhelming — and that’s completely normal. There are so many beautiful places, historical layers, and hidden streets that it’s easy to feel lost — not physically, but in understanding the city. Prague is not just a collection of monuments. It’s a story that connects medieval times, the First Republic, World War II, communism, and modern life. If you want to truly en
