A real authentic Czech pub/restaurant. This is where you will find Tim's favorite svíčková (one of the more popular Czech national dishes) and Maria's favorite steak tartare. Please note, since it is authentic, it does get smokey inside.

A foodies delight! Passage with many different small boutique stores for food and wine. There are Bah Mi subs, sushi, wine shop, chocolate store, and many more. Personal favorites are Sisters (modern take on traditional Czech open faced sandwiches) and Nase Maso (great butcher shop with sandwiches and steak tartar available to eat in)

The Metronome is a giant, functional metronome in Letná Park, overlooking the Vltava River and the city center of Prague. It was erected in 1991, on the plinth left vacant by the destruction in 1962 of an enormous monument to former Soviet leader Joseph Stalin. The 75-foot-tall (23 m) Metronome is now mostly a scenic vista and a meeting place for young people. It was designed by international artist Vratislav Novak. The area behind the metronome is also a popular skatespot where skateboarders from Europe and around the world congregate and film throughout the year.
