Prague Restaurants With A View
A wise traveller is one who understands the subtle difference between paying the price for comfort and wasting money on minor, inconsequential luxuries. Good food and service, a wonderful view of iconic historical sights and a relaxing atmosphere are the kind of small hedonistic pleasures that everyone should experience in their life at least once, but naive tourists often get exploited and end up paying a premium price for a mediocre experience. Prague is a lovely city with a long history and plenty of character – from the exceptional beer to the awe inspiring architecture that lend it a fairy-tale look, everything just seems so inviting.
There are certainly plenty of restaurants with a view of the Prague Castle and Vltava River, but you need to look a little closer to find the true gems among them, i.e. restaurants and cafes that manage to combine a great view and lovely atmosphere with well-priced meals that leave a satisfied smile on your face. The fine establishments on this list have been carefully chosen to allow a serious traveller to experience some of the beautiful architecture that Prague has to offer without having to spend a lot of time wandering around.
