Next, we delved into a glass-making class at PRAGL Prague Glass Experience, an activity my husband had been wanting to try since we binged watched “Blown Away” on Netflix. Conveniently located in the old town center, we spent an enjoyable hour and a half crafting a glass bowl and pitcher. As an added bonus to playing with melted lava glass , they also served up some delicious Czech beer.
For a long lunch, we made reservations at Restaurant Mlynec, a contemporary Czech eatery boasting a panoramic view of the picturesque Charles Bridge. If you’re inclined to indulge on an upscale lunch, I highly recommend this restaurant; the cuisine is both modern and delectable, complemented by an unbeatable view. After an amazing meal paired with a bottle of Chablis, we spent the afternoon leisurely strolling along the Charles Bridge, soaking in the scenic views while shopping for some street art.
For the evening we arranged to go to the Mozart Dinner Opera in Prague. Set in a stunningly ornate historic concert hall, this included a three-course dinner while Mozart’s masterpieces resonated through the hall, performed by a talented string quartet and opera singers. If you’re on a couples trip looking for a romantic night in Prague, this is the perfect place to experience Mozart’s music in a city attached to his history. You can easily book this through Get Your Guide or Viator.
After a long morning at the castle, we made our way to Na brehu Rhony, a wine bar near the riverside where you can self-serve your wine and enjoy some charcuterie.
For our evening plans, we decided to embrace the gothic medieval ambiance with a ghost tour. Setting the tone for the night, we stopped at The Green Devils Absinthe bar, decorated like a creepy haunted house, making it the perfect prelude to our ghost tour. I’ll admit, the absinthe was strong and tasted terrible, but it put us in just the right state for our ghostly adventure. We booked the Ghosts and Legends of Old Town Tour through Get Your Guide. While we sadly didn’t encounter any ghosts, we had an interesting night learning about the dark history of Prague.
Afterwards we popped into Pivovar Národni for dinner, a brewpub recommended by our tour guide, serving authentic Czech cuisine and some of the best beer on tap I had on the trip. The food itself was not my favorite but definitely comes for the beer. 
Upstairs, a section with pool tables attracts both locals and travelers, making it the classiest pool joint I’ve visited.
We typically make friends with fellow travelers on these food tours, and this time was no different. After the tour, we decided to explore Prague’s nightlife with some bar hopping. Our first stop was at Anonymous Bar, themed around V-for Vendetta, where bartenders wear masks. The drink menu features riddles tied to the drinks’ presentation, adding to the mystery of the bar. The experience is enjoyable, and the drinks do not disappoint. It can get busy, so making a reservation is advisable, or you can sit at the bar, which I preferred for interaction with the bartenders and capturing videos of them in their masks creating drinks in clouds of smoke and fire. Our next stop was Beyond Bar, a bit more intimate but still made some fun and delicious drinks. They’re known for the Pisco Sour bubble drink and as I am married to a Peruvian I can confidentiality say they are on point! I’ve linked both of these little gems in the images below.
Prague, despite its small size, offers a wealth of things to see and do, easily manageable in 3 to 4 days. While Prague has its own currency (CZK) outside of the Euro, most places accept credit cards. The city itself is relatively inexpensive, making it an excellent budget trip. Given its reputation as a party city, you may encounter several stag or bachelorette parties during your visit.

Prague looks like a fairytale. It has been on my list for ages and I think you may have convinced me to finally visit!
