  • 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.

  • Fine, it's not on the top 10 things to do in Prague ,but it should be at the top of your to -do list.

  • So get it out of the way, and click subscribe already, ok ?

  • 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.
