Based on simple ingredients and recipes that have been passed on from one generation to another for centuries, the Czech cuisine offers unique dishes that satisfy even by the most demanding gourmets. From the numerous Czech bread varieties -at least a dozen, to the classic onion and potato soup -that usually is served as the main course, the Czech cuisine is tasty and nutritious. Among the most famous dishes we would like to name the Czech dumplings (Knedliky) usually prepared with beef or fish dough, but also with fruit dough. Another dish that is often ordered by locals as well as tourists is the carp, the "national fish" par excellence. The dearest meat specialties are usually made of duck or goose meat prepared in different ways, and usually accompanied by a delicate sauce made out of dill and horseradish. The Czech cuisine is best enjoyed accompanied by a bottle of Czech beer, the national beverage of a land with a very long tradition. The Czech beer consumption on a per capita basis is at the top of the world's charts.

Prague is a lively and culturelly active city that offers to its residents and to its tourists numerous options to enjoy their free time. A night in Prague could start or end on one of the many famous Czech breweries that stage the rituals of an ancient tradition in a country that produces some of the world's most famous beers. To enjoy a good "Pilsner" or any of the other less famous Czech beer types you could choose one of Prague 's historic breweries or you could experiment one of the more recent establishments. Jazz and Rock clubs welcome those who are looking for new and old music styles. A good alternative to live music and exhibits are the experimental theatre plays offered by the many theatre companies of the city. These theatres not only feature plays and ballet, but also pantomime and the traditional marionette shows.
