Traditional Sweet Dishes
Trdelník
Trdelník is a spit-roasted, sugar-coated pastry that crisps on the outside and stays soft inside, and its spiral shape makes it look like an edible chimney.
Medovník
Medovník is a layered honey cake whose flavor deepens after resting for a day, which is why many Czech families bake it ahead for holidays.

Svíčková is braised beef in a silky root vegetable cream sauce, served with bread dumplings, a wedge of lemon, whipped cream, and cranberry jam for a pleasantly sweet and tangy contrast.

Skip restaurants right on the Old Town Square, walk two blocks toward Josefov or Vinohrady and you'll find cheaper, tastier places with locals.
Buy a 24 or 72 hour ticket in the PID app before you board, inspectors check often and single fares add up if you hop trams all day.
Expected more nightlife, bars close earlier than I thought and tourist traps near the Old Town are pricey. Still safe though.
Felt like a fairy tale at first, cobbled streets and beer. Crowds get intense after midday, but evenings are magical.
Loved the dumplings and goulash, cheap beer everywhere. Museums are pricier than expected, plan budget accordingly.
