Maybe you need to send your beer dinner request again…

Posted on August 9, 2018 by Prague Guide

Recently we discovered that there has been some trouble with our beer dinner request form. The result of the problem is that we haven’t received any of the requests that have been made on the website.

If you have requested a beer dinner in the period between July 15th and August 5th, you haven’t received any information, invoice or answer from us, and that is because we haven’t received your request. This is again due to an error with the contact form. This has now been fixed, meaning that you can once again request beer dinners and other Prague programs here in our Prague Guide.

This year is a fantastic year for tourists coming to Prague, and once again one of the highlights of the year is the annual beer festival.

The Czech beer festival has been arranged for years and years, and it is a giant success every year. This year it will open on May 10th and the festival will last until May 26th. That means you have 17 days to enjoy cold Czech beer and all sorts of brands that you have never even heard about before. There is a small entrance fee to enter the festival area, but for as little as 100 CZK you get the right to enter into the festival area every single day of the festival, which truly is a ridiculously low price.

Spring in Prague – Finally it’s here!

Posted on April 13, 2018 by Prague Guide

After a long and cold winter, it is always amazing to experience the temperatures and the smells of spring. Suddenly the city center comes to life, the ice cream bars open, and tourists fill the streets.

We had to wait for quite some time in 2018 for the real spring to arrive, but now it is here. In the last week, we have been able to enjoy temperatures around 25 Celsius during the daytime, and the temperatures have remained enjoyable even in the evenings. The sun has been shining, meaning that you even need sun lotion if you spend the entire day outdoors.

But, if you come to Prague on a beautiful spring day (like today), what should you do?

Spring in Prague

So, what should you do in Prague on a beautiful spring day? It couldn’t be better… do exactly what you want to do! The is the best answer. On a beautiful spring day, you can do exactly as planned. You do not need to fear rain or snow, and it doesn’t get unbearable hot either. Guess you understand why tourists love to visit Prague in the spring now. Spring might be the best time to visit Prague because you can simply enjoy the entire city and enjoy life without suffering. Of course, spring also means rain, so you might get unlucky and visit Prague on a rainy day, but in general, spring is amazing in Prague.

Are you not satisfied? Do you want some recommendations on what to do in Prague on a spring day? Here you have some!

Prague spring recommendations

On a beautiful spring day, you should, of course, enjoy a trip on the Vltava river. There are quite a lot of trips available, and the beauty of spring is that you can sit outdoors and enjoy the view and the sun simultaneously.

Another beautiful experience is to put on some good shoes, and then just walk around in the city of Prague for an entire day. You will quickly discover areas most tourists do not see, and thus you will get an even better impression of the city and what life is like in the city. Besides this, you will also burn a lot of calories. As a consequence, you can eat even more and taste some Czech beer with a good consciousness.

Another experience that the entire family will enjoy on a spring day is a visit to the zoo. The zoological garden in Prague is a fantastic place to visit, and you can see beautiful animals in a very nice environment, a bit outside the city center of Prague.

These are some recommendations. If you want to get even more ideas for what to do on a spring-day in Prague, check our list of hidden gems in Prague in this article. Are you visiting Prague with the entire family? Check our list of family-friendly activities in Prague right here.

It might be that Metallica will fool around in Prague on Fool’s day in 2018, but on April 2nd, they will be ready in the O2 Arena to rock the venue.

Metallica will arrive in Prague from Vienna. They will play in the Austrian capital on March 31st but have their day to relax on April 1st. They will most likely spend that day traveling to Prague, and then relax on the evening of April 1st in Prague, maybe taking a walk in the beautiful old town of Prague?

But, on Monday, April 2nd, starting at 19.30, the band will walk onto the stage in the O2 Arena in Prague, and thousands of fans will be ready to rock-n-roll with the legendary band. They are getting older, but they still got a grip on their fantastic music. If you would like to be there at the Metallica concert in Prague, use the ticket link beneath to grab hold of your tickets.

The Metallica tour in 2018 will start in Lisbon on February 1st. If you lack patience, why not travel to Lisbon, let us take care of your airport transfer (in the same way we help you out with your airport transfer in Prague), and enjoy a sunny February day in the capital of Portugal as well!
