Itinerary
Day 1
Sunny spring day: eat, walk, ride, sip, and dance — built for easy group logistics and social energy.
Breakfast at Café Savoy
Start with a hearty, classic Prague breakfast in a spacious, beautiful cafe with group tables and great pastries.
Tips from local experts:
- Ask for a long communal table if you’re a group of 4–6 — the staff are used to groups and will usually seat you together.
- Split a few sweet pastries (the kouign-amann and house-made jams are crowd-pleasers) to try lots of items without high cost.
- If you want a quick transfer to Old Town after, note the nearest tram stop (Národní divadlo) is a 2–3 minute walk.
Walk/transfer to Old Town meeting point
Leisurely 30-minute stroll or short tram ride to the Old Town square area — use this time for photos and group selfies.
Tips from local experts:
- Walk along the river for scenic photos; it’s flat and easy for everyone in the group.
- If using tram, buy a 30/90-minute group ticket on the PID app to cover short hops for convenience.
- Keep one person with a map app to guide — Prague streets can be charmingly twisty and you’ll save time.
Short transfer to Manifesto Market
Quick 15-minute walk/tram to Prague’s best outdoor food-hall — ideal for groups who want choice and shared plates.
Tips from local experts:
- Manifesto Market has communal seating — go early to grab a table for the group before peak lunch rush.
- Plan to split bills by vendor; assign one person per vendor to avoid small-change chaos.
- Look for shaded seating or the rooftop area if it’s sunny — May is lovely but midday sun can be strong.
Lunch at Manifesto Market (street food & communal seating)
Sample Czech and global street food stalls — share plates across the group so everyone gets a taste.
Tips from local experts:
- Buy 3–4 different dishes to share across the table; it’s the most social and cost-effective approach.
- Look for stalls serving craft beer or local cider to keep things lively without a formal sit-down.
- If someone has dietary restrictions, most vendors list allergens; ask the stall cook — they’re usually happy to help.
Transfer to bike tour meeting point
Head across town by tram to the Fat Tire meeting spot — short travel to prep for an active afternoon.
Tips from local experts:
- Confirm the meeting point on the booking confirmation and aim to arrive 10–15 minutes early for bike sizing.
- Use this transfer time to stash heavier items (many operators have secure space) so your group rides light.
- If anyone’s unsure about cycling in cities, choose the gentler route or ask for an introductory pace.
Fat Tire Bike Tour — riverside & park highlights
Active, social guided ride (approx. 2–3 hours) covering scenic Vltava riverside paths, Jewish Quarter approach, and park viewpoints — perfect for playful group energy.
Tips from local experts:
- Bring a compact daypack and a small lock if you plan short stops — guides will usually watch bikes during a quick cafe break.
- Split any rental/equipment fees among the group to keep per-person costs low; Fat Tire often offers group discounts.
- May temperatures are mild; pack a lightweight waterproof in case of quick spring showers and wear closed shoes.
Short transfer (walk) to Letná Beer Garden
15-minute stroll uphill to Letná Park’s famous beer garden — iconic sunset views over Prague.
Tips from local experts:
- There are several viewpoints en route — stop for a group skyline photo with Prague Castle and the river in frame.
- If you’d rather skip the hill, take a short taxi/ride-hail to save legs for the evening.
- Reserve a beer garden spot if your group is larger and it’s a weekend; otherwise aim for a table near the railing for the best views.
Sunset hang at Letná Beer Garden
Relax with local beers, panoramic sunset views, and a lively, friendly crowd — ideal low-key pre-dinner socializing.
Tips from local experts:
- Order a few large shareable trays of local snacks (pickled cheeses, sausages) to nibble while enjoying the view.
- Bring a light layer—spring evenings cool quickly once the sun goes down, but the atmosphere stays warm.
- If anyone wants photos without crowds, arrive slightly before sunset (this schedule aims to snag those prime minutes).
Transfer to Eska (Karlín) for dinner
Short tram/taxi ride into Karlin for a modern Czech dinner at Eska — group-friendly reservation recommended.
Tips from local experts:
- Reserve a table in advance (Eska is popular); ask for a long communal table if you want to stay together.
- Eska’s menu is great for sharing — order multiple plates to taste their fermentation and grill specialties.
- If someone in the group is vegetarian, Eska has creative veggie dishes that pair well with shared plates.
Dinner at Eska — modern Czech sharing plates
A stylish, convivial dinner at a roomy industrial-chic restaurant; perfect for groups who want memorable food and a buzz without tourist crowds.
Tips from local experts:
- Order a few mains and several sides to share — it’s the best way to sample Eska’s sourdough and smoked flavors together.
- Ask the sommelier or server for a natural wine suggestion — Eska curates interesting local pairings good for groups.
- Consider splitting the bill by card-to-card transfers or one person handling payment; staff can provide separate receipts on request.
Transfer to Lucerna Music Bar (nightlife)
Short tram/walk back toward Wenceslas Square for a late-night live-music spot with dancing — an easy scene for groups.
Tips from local experts:
- Check the night’s lineup in advance — Lucerna hosts diverse acts (rock, pop, disco nights) so pick a show that fits your vibe.
- If you prefer no-cover nights, ask the venue about ticketing — friends on weeknights often get in with minimal fuss.
- Plan a meetup spot outside (a nearby landmark) in case the group gets split up while moving between the venue and nearby bars.
Nightlife at Lucerna Music Bar — live music & dancing
End the night with live music, dancing, and energetic crowds — perfect for a friend-group finale to a full day.
Tips from local experts:
- Arrive early-ish if you want a close spot to the stage; otherwise enjoy the bar area for easy conversation and bottle service.
- Designate one person to manage coats/bags if you have items to store — cloakrooms can get busy on popular nights.
- When it gets late, use a ride-hail app to get the group back to your accommodation together; Prague center taxis can surge on event nights.
