Prague tearooms

Tearooms in Prague are very popular among young people. Tearooms are quiet places, where you can sit, relax and drink chinese or japanese tea. I like to take a break in tearoom, it si big difference to busy streets in the centre of Prague.
In tearoom you will sit on the chair or on the pillow on the carpet. In some tearoms it is possible to smoke shisha (water pipe), smoking cigarets is forbidden.

Interior of tearoom U zlatého kohouta
  • Prices of teapot starts on 50 Crowns and ends around 200 Crowns. 
  • Food contains some nuts or in some tearooms vegetarian meals for lunch. 
  • Its also possible to buy loose tea or some tea ceramics.
  • Tearooms are mostly opened in the afternoon and in the evening, usually between 2 pm and 10 pm

My favourite tearooms:
U zlatého kohouta In the Old Town, 5 min from Můstek, (metro B and A), map
Tearoom Amana, New Town, Záhořanského 6, Prague. 5 min walk from Karlovo Náměstí  (metro B), map
Jedna Báseň, Vinohrady, Pod Zvonařkou 14, Prague. 2 min walk from tram st. Nuselské schody, map

St.Haštal Church and Convent of st. Agnes

Romantic quarter without tourists you can find just 5 minutes walking from the overcrowded Old Town Square.

Haštal square with gothic st. Haštal church from 13. century is in the middle of quarter. Church is very unusual because it has only two naves. Square is surrounded by narrow streets. I suggest to visit Anežská street and Řásnovka street.

Close to the square, there is probably the narrowest house in the Czech republic, number 2 and 4 in Anežská street. In Anežská street there you can visit Convent of st. Agnes, gothic convent from 13. century (Exhibitions and admission).

In the Old Town there is most of buildings with brand new plaster, but houses around Haštal square looks like in the Communist era, when no one took care about buildings in the Centre.
  • How to get there: 5 min walking from Náměstí republiky (metro B)
  • Interesting places: Haštal church, Convent of st. Agnes, narrowest house in Czech
  • Tourist density: Low
  • Map: Haštal square on google maps
