Do you want to experience the real Prague summer vibe?
This isn’t your typical pub crawl; instead, it’s an invitation to step into the city’s lesser-known neighborhoods and discover its authentic side, where locals gather to unwind and enjoy.
In our Beer garden tour, we visit five totally different beer gardens in residential Prague away from the crowded center.
These are the places where Prague’s real pulse beats, filled with characters, stories, and unforgettable views.
Our first stop before we hit the beer gardens is an establishment known across Prague for its quality organic beef burgers. This popular spot is beloved by locals and serves as the perfect introduction to Prague’s food scene, making sure you start the tour with a full stomach and a taste of authentic Czech flavor.
Following is the beer garden in the Academy of Fine Arts– Europe’s most prestigious art faculty.
As we walk through the neighborhood’s side streets your guide will tell you some revealing stories of Nazi rule, communism, secret police, political prisoners, and heroes who gave their life for freedom.You’ll hear tales of resistance and bravery that have shaped Prague, enriching each step of our walk with a sense of the city’s resilience.
Our second beer garden overlooks Prague with magnificent views.
It’s a place where locals come to relax, with the city’s spires and rooftops stretching out before you.
It is the very place where in 1989 a peaceful march started toward the city center. It was the final days of communism – the Velvet Revolution. Standing here, you can almost feel the echo of footsteps as citizens gathered in solidarity, a poignant reminder of Prague’s transformative history.
Our next stop is a local community beer garden.
Very old school. It’s one of those rare places that feels untouched by time, with a charm that’s hard to find. It is right next door to the tennis courts where Martina Navrátilová was coached by her father in 1962. In 1975, she asked for political asylum in the USA. She was 18 years old, making a decision that changed the course of her life.
We continue to the place where the largest statue of Joseph Stalin stood for 7 years.
A stamp of oppression. Today a metronome stands there as a reminder that in time all things pass. Created in 1991. It is officially named The Time Machine.
Above the plateau is a skatepark famous across Europe.
In 1989 a Pirate radio station was set up in a nuclear bunker under where the statue used to stand. It was called Radio Stalin- 91.9 MHZ.
In 1991 it got legitimacy and the broadcasting licence. It became Czech Radio 1.
Our next stop is a beer garden where artists, skateboarders, students, intellectuals and everyone else hang out. A cool place.
We then move on to an active Railway station bar.
The place is steeped in history.
During communism, it was the heartbeat of subculture activists and anti-regime subjects. It has a very authentic feel of Prague’s past and of Prague today.
A place you won’t find in the guidebooks.
Like a time capsule.
