A very smokey, bohemian place where all the artists and philosophers from the near-by universities come before, during or after school. It doesn't really get more local than this.

Students from surrounding universities spend hours in this Café - discussing current affairs, catching up on homework or just relaxing. Me included! Don't get confused by the name, even though it's a "café", you can get drinks in the evening too.

I know that offering you to visit a university might seem strange, but a group of students opened a very nice café here. Just tell the doorman you want some coffee and meet the local students.

Back to the roots! With many restaurants trying to be creative with their menu, Lokál decided to focus on the basics of the traditional Czech cuisine. They also serve great beer. How refreshing! Make sure to have a reservation.

It doesn't get much more typical than this restaurant. Being hidden around the corner from the tourist lanes, the restaurant doesn't try to lure in tourists and focuses on local residents.

Flashback! This place still works like it did in the 70's. It's one of the last remaining cantines - get a tray, move along, don't expect nice service, but enjoy typical Czech dishes and atmosphere.

Typical Czech food for a reasonable price. If you come between noon and 2pm, you can order from the daily menu for even a cheaper price. They also serve very good Pilsner Urquell. If you come in the evening, you'll see the typical Czech way of drinking - sitting in a pub, drinking one pint after another, chain smoking and complaining about everything.

A tiny café owned by my good friend Adam, which is just around the corner from the apartment. He specialises in premium quality café, however his prices are very affordable. If you end up visiting, don't forget to mention you're from Marie's apartment!

Letná park has one of the most beautiful views of Prague. It's also a place where an enormous statue of Stalin used to be in the 50's. Fortunately it's replaced by a big metronome today which is there to remind us that history can easily repeat itself. Ask me for the story of these two monuments, it's one of my favourite spots in Prague! Pro tip: there's also an outside bar rigth under the metronome. Sightseeing and a beer? That's the Czech way to do it.

You might not won't find the Žižkov TV tower in your guide book, yet you can see it from everywhere in Prague. Built in the 80's, it still divides Prague's inhabitants on whether to love it or hate it. Sometime's called the Bajkonur (after the soviet space ship) by the locals, it's in the heart of Prague's hippest neighbourhood. You can take the elevator to a bar located on top of the tower and have a look at the amazing view.
