10 +more places to visit in Prague

Some more of places I love in Prague.

Music:
Cross Club
Plynarni 1096/23 (Prague 7, near Nadrazi Holesovice)
A club worth visiting just for the interior decoration. A former squat, they have let loose an
interior designer here who loves old pieces of metallic scrap and has covered every surface with
them. The old flat irons and citrus juice squeezers also have lights and they move. The music has
some edge. The best night I had there was to a very playful type of drum'n'bass. Don't get lost.

Art:
Modern art at Veletrzni Palace
Dukelskych hrdinu 47 (Prague 7)
I admit! The very best reason for a visit is not the 4 floors of art but the see-through glass
elevator in the middle of the gallery.
Museum Kampa
U sovovych mlynu 2 (Prague 2)
A modern art museum in the centre of Prague. Has a changing exhibition as well as a permanent
collection. Also has an attractive sightseeing floor on the roof.

Petrin lookout tower
An Eiffel tower lookalike on a smaller scale, 60 m high. A lovely place to visit. You won't be the
only one who has the same plan.

Vegan / vegetarian restaurants:
Lehka Hlava
Borsov 2 (Prague 1)
Try the huge bowl of salad with smoked tofu, or some fresh sage tea with honey in this lovely
restaurant with fun decor. Maybe you should visit the blue room that has a ceiling with
glimmering fake-stars. Then go and hug the round oven that, according to one of my sweet
family members, looks like it should be hugged.
Country Life
Melantrichova 15 (Prague 1)
A good place for vegan luch in the Old Town, very close to Mustek. Also a good place to balance
your diet with fresh stuff if you've accidentally been eating the only vegetarian option of
traditional Czech reastaurants, the fried cheese.

Clothes:
Yaxi Taxi (Legii most, Praha 5)
Fun and inspiring handmade clothes and jewelry.

Books:
Anagram (Tyn 4, Prague 1)
A small English-language bookstore just behind the Old Town Square. Friendly atmosphere and
an inspiring collection of books. Also beautiful notebooks made of recycled materials by Deaf
messanger.

Theatre:
Krepsko (Shows mostly in Roxy NOD, Dlouhá 33)
This Czech-Finnish group has experimental, bizarre and beautiful plays that include music and
some circus-style elements. No language barrier.

P
iercings or tattoos:
Tribo (Klimentska 2, Prague 1)
A good tried&tested place.

Parks:
Letna park on the hillside facing the Old Town with deep shades of green and free-running
dogs. Vast Stromovka (Holesovice, Prague 7) for long walks.

Information:
Expats.cz is good for finding any practical inside information about Prague in English.

The weekly newspaper Prague Post has an excellent guide to next week's culture and
happenings.

Should I also mention the Herna's... Or not... Oh, you might find out about them on your own
also. I won't admit I have favourites among them.
