So, you're going to Prague, but you don't know what to do?
-
Well, you've come to the right place.
-
We're Alex and Marko.
-
You're watching Vagabrothers, and these are our top 10 tips on doing Prague like a local.
-
Let's get into it!
-
Number 1: the old town.
-
Ok. Prague's old town is where all the tours go, but that's because it's gorgeous.
-
Spend your first day wandering its cobble stone streets and of course getting some photos for your Instagram.
-
Number 2: the astronomical clock.
-
It's basically a gigantic ornately decorated cuckoo clock that comes alive on the hour.
-
You can also climb to the top for great views of the old town.
-
Number 3: Dlouhá Street.
-
Excuse my pronunciation.
-
Start with Lokál, which as the name suggests, serves only local Czech products.
-
The food is good; the food is local, and I'm happy.
-
Or Naše Maso , a top-notch butchery that has beer served from a faucet on the wall...
-
Beer faucet...Cheers!
-
Vagabrothers' tip: don't miss the meat loaf or the burger.
-
Let me just smell the burger.
-
Get your own burger!
-
Number 4: Pilsner.
-
The Czech Republic is the birthplace of the Pilsner, the world's most popular beer style made famous by Pilsner Urquell.
-
But the best beer comes in small batches so check out microbreweries like Pivovar Bašta where the beer is literally cheaper than water.
-
Number 5: craft beer.
-
Czechs love their Pilsners, but they're not stuck in the past.
-
Try something newer at craft beer pubs like Zlý časy.
-
Beers are more expensive than Pilsner, but still pretty damn cheap.

-
Number 6: Prague Castle.
-
Cross the river on the Charles Bridge up to the Prague Castle, it's got great views of the city.
-
And it used to be the capital of the Kingdom of Bohemia.
-
Number 7: be Bohemian.
-
The Kingdom of Bohemia gave us the word "bohemian" because back in the day, they thought gypsies came from here.
-
Soak up the boho life at places like Café Sladkovský, a cafe / restaurant / pub.
-
That's perfect for writing your next novel, reading some Kafka, or just drinking more beer.
-
Number 8: Krymská Street.
-
Next to Café Sladkovský is Krymská Street, home to trendy pubs, restaurants and shops.
-
It's a great little area to explore and has some really beautiful architecture.
-
Plus, it's just really fun to say Krymská...
-
Say it! Say it! Come on! Krymská.
-
Number 9: the Lennon Wall.
-
The original counter-culture spot is the Lennon Wall, named after John, not Vladimir, because it became a canvas for anti-communist protests during the Cold War.
-
Even today, you're free to draw whatever you want.
-
Just don't draw a dick.
-
Number 10: David Černý.
-
Near the Lennon Wall is the artwork of David Černý, the subversive artist who protested communism with his artwork.
-
To get off the beaten path, head over to the meat factory, his exhibition area, where he usually has something pretty funky going on.
-
But in all honesty, I still don't understand the babies...
-
Naked babies? Barcode on the face?
-
We're all barcode, naked babies.
