Charming artistic coffee shops throughout the cityย of Prague where they not only offer you a great selection of coffees but offer a wide range of breads, desserts, and patisserie. ย We so much enjoyed stopping by a local coffee shop for a late afternoon tea and something sweet, especially ones that are off the beaten path.

Of course, the most popular (and busiest) coffee shop in Prague is the Cafe Savoy, where you can experience many of the Czech’s classic desserts and special coffees.

You can find them lined up on the main street that faces the Gothic Tower in Prague waiting for you to hop in and go for a spin!ย  Not too expensive if you are with a group, and the tour lasts about an hour.

CHIC PLACES TO STAY

Hotel Imperial in Prague, by 2sistersrecipes.com

If your looking for a place to stay or a charming hotel slightly off the beaten path, yet still very close to every place you want to visit in Prague here are a few recommendations.

1.ย Hotel Imperialย ย is located on the corner of Na Porici and Zlatnicka streets in Praha 1, that dates back to 1383. ย An Art Deco hotel with a charming atmosphere and elegance of the early 20th century is a 5 minute walk to the Old Town Square and 15 minute walk to the famous Charles Bridge and more.

There is a wonderful cafe /restaurant calledย Cafe Imperialย located inside the Hotel Imperial where we went back a few times. ย The food and service was that good and they serve breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday.

2. ย Art Nouveau Palace Hotelย located in the city center on the border of the New and Old Town, offers single rooms to suites with modern luxury conveniences and comfort.

3. ย Theย Best Airbnb Apartmentsย in Prague. ย If your traveling with family members, maybe renting a suite or an apartment may be more suitable for 3 people or more. Keep in mind, these buildings are very old and most likely they don’t have air conditioning.
