Kavárnička
Café
Open Details
The Kavárnička cafe is a truly beautiful spot and I loved every minute of it the second I walked in. The interior is a modern design and makes you feel incredibly welcome. This is a family-friendly establishment with a cool little kids' play area separate from the dining section.
I loved everything on the menu, especially the breakfast menu items like eggs Benedict. The view of the surrounding town is incredible from your dining table, enjoy it.
Opening times: Monday - Sunday: 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM

Zájezd Zoo
Zoo
Open Details
The Zájezd Zoo is truly one of my favorite zoos of the Czech Republic, even though it's one of the smallest exotic zoos of the country. It being the smaller zoo is exactly what makes this place so amazing. Most zoos are overcrowded and have a sense of distance due to the large number of people surrounding you.
But here it's different, you can truly get up close and personal with the animals in a situation where you can relax and chill with all the exotic monkey species that call this wonderful zoo home. Take the time to truly admire the monkeys, reptiles and critters and realize how amazing the animal world is.
Opening times: Monday - Sunday: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM

Kleneč
Landmark
Open Details
The Kleneč mountain and national park is a magnificent spot and I can't recommend it enough. The area is bursting with a color pallet that, I thought, would be impossible to experience in nature, especially in the dryer months of the year when the fields surrounding turn an Auburn yellow that meets with blue sky above with the multicolored mountain as the centerpiece.
Then walking to the mountain is an intermediate level of difficulty. Taking water and food is a must if you're planning to make the trek. For those who do make the trek, you are certainly in for a treat because the view from the peak is incredible.

Dvůr Perlová voda
Bar
Open Details
The Dvůr Perlová Voda is bad with nothing but an underground raw feel that is paired with the finest food available. Honestly, this place cannot come more highly rated by me and by the huge number of people that have made this a true hot spot to attend. The atmosphere here comes in droves, and it has a family-friendly setting with a space for the kids to hang out.
The menu at this place is insane and full of some Czech specialties including Svíčkovánwhich, personally my favorite thing that needs to be tried. The wait staff make you feel like royalty and have you sitting at your comfortable table in no time. The underground vibes here make the meal somehow taste better, and I'm not sure why.

Helfenburg
Landmark
Open Details
If you are one for perfect viewed and some historical knowledge all wrapped up in one, then the historical ruins of Helfenburg are the spot for you. This marvel of medieval architecture sits on a hillside that gives it a spectacular 360-degree view of the surrounding countryside that left me truly speechless.
The castle is astonishing on its own without the view, but the view changes this place into a magical wonderland that can easily make you lose track of time and just live and sit at the moment.

Hostibejk
Landmark
Open Details
For me, it wouldn't be a trip if it wasn't for a scenic lookout, and this one is surely a doozy. The Hostibejk is the perfect spot to check out before dinner, as it will give you a truly unique understanding of the beautiful city you started in, Prague.
As the sun sets over Prague, your gaze will be locked into the changing colors of the sky and as Prague starts to prepare for the nighttime and starts switching on its lights. It seems to look like it's an organism that is coming to life as it gets brighter as the darkness sets in behind. Perfect place to end your day before dinner.

World Resort - Restaurant
Restaurant
Open Details
I can't think of any more perfect way to end the day than to sit down and enjoy a meal at World Resort Restaurant. As you can tell by the name it is a high-end fine dining establishment and boy it is. The moment you step inside everything screams fine dining from the architecture to the decor and everything in between.
The staff is so friendly here and made me feel immediately welcome and had me seated in no time while taking me through the drinks' menu. I had to choose the rib eye steaks and I highly recommend you do too. They were spot on with his unwanted cooked, and I will forever tell the story of how tasty it was.
