What to eat and drink in the Czech Republic: classic dishes and beer, Becherovka and spa wafers from Karlovy Vary, Christmas market treats and food souvenirs.
Prague is beautiful year-round, including winter. The cold weather shouldn't discourage you from visiting the city. However, you must plan your activities properly and pack for the season. If you are determined to have a great winter holiday in Prague from December to March, stay with me.
"It's a cake convention!" That's how Le Corbusier described Karlovy Vary. Indeed, the colorful houses along the Tepla river's banks and the lace colonnades remind one of whipped cream and figures on a cake. And of all Czech towns, Karlovy Vary is the least "Czech." Here you inevitably recall the era of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
If you want to bring something from Prague as a gift for your friends or as a small reminder of your visit to the city, do not limit yourself to magnets and tee cups. I have put together a list of traditional products so that you can find ideas for the best presents from the Czech Republic.
Let's face it. Czech national cuisine is quite unhealthy and high in calories. You will hardly be able to eat something without splashing it with plenty of beer:).
