Prague
Overview
From Andrew Harper
Prague is a city of startling grandeur. Exquisite baroque palaces line both banks of the Vltava River, while high above soar the dramatic Gothic spires and towers of Prague Castle and St. Vitus Cathedral. Prague is still distinguished by its music, and an evening at the Estates Theatre, where Mozart’s “Don Giovanni” premiered in 1787, is highly recommended. Candlelit concerts are also regularly held at the magnificently restored St. Nicholas Church. And don’t miss the Museum of Decorative Arts, with its striking displays of Bohemian crystal.

In addition to a fine list of Italian wines, there are some interesting Czech bottlings.

NOTA BENE
Despite the fact that it’s off the beaten track in an outlying part of Prague, this pleasant, easygoing establishment is the city’s new destination for great beer and good light meals of well-prepared Czech comfort food. The recycled factory décor of exposed brick walls and framed black-and-white photographs creates a relaxed atmosphere in which to discover beers from the Matuska brewery and others to accompany hearty dishes such as grilled sausages, rabbit terrine, or veal shoulder with homemade noodles.
