Evening in Prague


Prague specifics * Zizkov - ex-working class district of Prague. It's the contemporary Czech center of Prague in the sense that the Old Town and Mala Strana are occupied by foreigners. In Zizkov there are cheap pubs (perhaps the biggest concentration of pubs per kilometre in the world) and the Czechs love beer. * Prague Pubs are places where many social topics are discussed.

The greatest rival is
found in the "caf?s" (during communism they were stagnating - but are now on the rise again). In the pubs (and caf?s) topics like politics, culture, favorite TV programs and of course football and ice hockey are discussed. * Beer - most Prague pubs sell only one brand of beer on tap, which is often specific to that pub. Czech beer is popular throughout Europe, and the Czech Republic (and Prague in specific) has a rich history of beer brewing. * Praguers (the people of Prague) prefer not to be called Eastern Europeans.
