Food in Prague: What You Have to Try

Traveling to a new place can feel overwhelming. You only have a few days to soak up as much as you can. For me, the food aspect can be daunting. How can I eat all the food in Prague in just a few days? Where do I even start? Which restaurants are worth my time and which ones are better to be skipped?

This is where Eating Europe comes in! They take all the leg work out of having an absolutely amazing culinary experience in Prague. This past fall when Alex from East Coast Contessa and I spent a few days in Prague, we were graciously invited to experience one of their food tours.

A Day Trip to Pilsen from Prague

day trip to Pilsen

I remember that taking a day trip to Pilsen was one of the first things I wanted to do in the Czech Republic. When I spent my summer there several years ago, I admittedly knew next to nothing about the rest of the country. I remember the town of Pilsen sticking out to me for one reason: beer.

That summer, however, I didn’t make it to Pilsen. So when I found myself in the Czech Republic yet again, I knew that I had to visit Pilsen. Luckily, it was ridiculously easy to get to Pilsen from Prague.

Meet Me 23: A Quirky and Modern Prague Hotel

modern Prague hotel

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Prague is a little bit weird. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve always enjoyed every Prague visit. However the city has this sort of quirky charm and the modern Prague hotel Meet Me 23 just proves it even more.

Located right next to the Hlavní Nadrazí train station (where you can catch trains to cities and towns all over the country and region) and within minutes of Old Town Prague, this hotel could not be in a better location. However it’s location, while excellent, is not what makes this place loveably quirky. Instead the blue men are what make you do a double-take when you arrive.

An Escape to a Czech Countryside Hotel

Sometimes the worst travel fails make for the best stories afterwards. When the end of your travel fails includes a stay at a luxury Czech countryside hotel, it’s not really so bad in the end. Let me back up.

So back in June, Alex (blogger friend from East Coast Contessa) and I spent a night out in the Czech village of Karlstejn. An escape from the bustle of Prague was just the thing we needed. However the journey out there was filled with a few hilarious bumps along the way. After a train that went back to the Prague train station and bad Google Maps directions, we finally ended up at the romantic Hotel Mlyn Karlstejn. Yes, I went to a romantic hotel with my blogger bestie.

A Historic Prague Hotel in the City Centre

Sometimes a simple change of location lets you see a place from a new perspective. Last month, I stayed in the Appia Residences Prague for the first time. However it was not my first time in Prague. I had been to the city several times a few summers ago when I spent several months working in the Czech Republic. The visits were nice but short. So this time around, it was nice to enjoy the city from the comforts of a historic Prague hotel.

Exploring Czech Paradise

exploring Czech Paradise

This summer, I spent several months in the Czech Republic. The intention was to spend some time in a different culture and travel from time to time in a new part of Europe. Several times throughout my two months in the country, I found myself exploring Czech Paradise. I always had my camera and phone ready. So I thought I would share a little bit about that part of the Czech Republic.

3 Bohemian Czech towns in two days

Bohemian Czech towns

There are so many great Czech Bohemian towns to explore. There is way more to see in the Czech Republic than Prague. It can be hard to just pick a few. A little over a month ago, I spent some time exploring Ceske Budejovice, Cesky Krumlov and Hluboká.

This particular trip was awesome because I met up blogger friend Kristin from Countdown to Friday. I feel like within this blogging world, we meet a lot of cool people via the Internet. There’s this culture of supporting one another. I absolutely love it! I had met Kristin from the fashion blogger community maybe about six months ago. We both collaborated with blogger Ada from Elegance and Mommyhood on a Winter Wedding collaboration last January. So I met Kristin this way and from time to time, we chat about blog stuff. I also featured her twice: once in my expat series and once on Women around the World.

Women around the World: Diana from the Czech Republic

Diana in the Czech Republic

This week on Women around the World, we are hopping over to a new country. However it’s not a country new to the blog entirely as I was in Prague just a few months ago. However this is the first time we are featuring a Czech girl on the blog. Meet Diana, one of the three bloggers from Czech Souls.

I spent my summer in the beautiful Czech Republic and really grew to love the place. It is absolutely beautiful. So I was very excited to interview Diana when she reached out to me. I’m also super stoked about these dress photos! She was traveling in Asia for 7 weeks and had only a few changes of clothing in her backpack. So when she went to Angor Wat in Cambodia, she wanted something different to wear. Here is the full interview:
