Prague Local Custom Tips by sue_stone

Beer & Dumplings

Ok, as most of us know, Prague is renowned for its beer. It is cheap, it is cold, it is delicious!!

I will confess that one of the highlights of my time in Prague was the beer…..don't get me wrong, I don't drink very much…just one with a meal and perhaps another late afternoon…..never at breakfast ; )

The beers we drank in Prague included Staropramen (the locals favourite), Pilsner Urquell, and Budvar. Since our trip, I now find myself choosing Czech beers whenever beer is on offer.

But there was one thing I enjoyed more than the beer….it was the dumplings! YUM. I had never really eaten them before but they were fabulous. These doughy delights are the perfect partner to the sauces served with many Czech meals. I loved both the bread and the potato dumpling varieties. Give them a try if you get the chance.

Old Cars

My husband Alex is a bit of a car enthusiast, so whenever we go to a new country he is always keen to see what type of cars the locals are driving.

Some of the cars we saw in Prague amused him no end, the old Skoda's for example were everywhere and it was hard to believe that some of them were legally road worthy.

We came across this particular rusty specimen and couldn't resist snapping a pic!

Hhmmm…wonder how I'd look driving one of those!!
