Experience in Prague, Czech Republic by Petra

What is it like to live in Prague? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

The city is full of sights with lot to see. But even if you are not fun of watching tourist's highlights there is a lot to do. It is open-minded and friendly. Has many pubs, bistros and coffees, cosy small cinemas as well as party houses. All depends on your taste.

What is the student lifestyle like in Prague?

There are several places to party hard but I rather prefer to go to cosy pubs or walk around the river the street Náplavka where all the ships with coffees, wine shops and bistros are.

How much does it cost to live in Prague?

It is quite good. Public transport is much cheaper for a student. Foodstores are everywhere and cheap as well. Even beer is for good prices still.

Not sure. Did not have to do that as I am staying at own flat.

What is the food like? What are your favourite dishes?

In Prague, you can already find all world cuisines with quite good quality. It is always better not to eat around tourist's highlights. Prices there are not reasonable. Better to search for something smaller what is favourite for locals. E. g. Naše Maso is a great place where it is possible to try Czech "fast food" but the homemade high-quality way. Recommended!

What places would you recommend visiting in Prague?

• Prague castle gardens! - lovely views at the city.

Not sure. I am not a party animal. But parties hold on a boat or at Náplavka by the river are always great.
