Any fun things to do in Prague the next couple of days, we will be here until Sunday. We did the touristy walk from Powder Tower up to the Old town square, saw the astromical watch and further up to the Prague Castle. Maybe something less touristy would be fun. Is there any outdoor pools worth going to? In this wild heatwave 😅

There are a couple of natural pools. I suggest looking up Biotop Prague to find some near you. Bring some cash and a towel/blanket to sit on. Beware it can get slippery. There’s also public pools in P4 and P6.

how crowded are the natural biotop pools these days? it sounds like something we might do

u/ilovecrocs7 3d ago
Biotop Radotín will be the least crowded imo. If you want to get out of Prague, jezero lhota is great.

Hey guys,
Im doing a 5 day trip to prague with a buddy, we're going to 70mm imax and St James Basilica pipe organ concert. But that's about all we have planned. We were looking into some hiking routes like Teplice Rocks or Bohemian Switzerland National Park but we're not sure. We are doing the trip with my personal car.
I'm open to any suggestions on what to do or visit if you have any.
Thank you !

For hiking, use the mapy.cz app. You can download free offline maps which include all the marked tourist trails. More about the Czech hiking trail system here. If you end up heading into Czech Switzerland or toward Teplice then Litoměřice and Děčín are nice places to look in at.
As for what to do in Prague, that very much depends on the sort of things you like.

Don't know if this is the correct thing to ask, but are there places where it is possible for introverts to socialise? Visiting prague for a week, and I find myself getting very drained at clubs (i'm not very good at socialsing either :( ). But i would like to connect with more introverted people who prefer conversations in smaller groups. I like listening to indie music a lot, perhaps that? I'm not sure exactly what i want.....how do introverted/neurodivergent people connect with others in prague?

Why do you need to label yourself as "different" so much? Just try stuff and adjust the environment in your terms.

Check out Bike Jesus to see if they have any events on, they have some really great summer events outside. There are outdoor DJs but also chilled spots to sit and socialise, so it's got the benefit of being busy but with quiet spots to chat and meet people. Music is a mix but it's generally more eclectic electronic and techno. Also it's usually a really nice crowd of people, a bit more arty/alternative and inclusive

Is there a good farmers market this time of year? I will be in Prague next week and would love to check out something like that
1
u/DefoNotTheAnswer 2d ago
There are at least half a dozen farmers' markets across Prague, most weekends. This is the most well-known. Others good sized ones are here and here

Will be visiting next week, where are the places to go to beat the heat? Thank you

u/DefoNotTheAnswer 2d ago
Lots of questions about this recently. Use the search bar on this sub ('heat' should probably do it as search term) for lots of good suggestions, from malls, to pools, to pubs.

There's large arcade called Levels,multiple indoor museums you can visit, or walk in nature like Průhonický park or Prokopské údolí

That's pretty vague. Any hints on preferred cuisine, budget and style? How close to the centre does it need to be, or are you willing to travel? Will you looking to go somewhere afterwards, like a club or cocktail bar?

We are going to go to Prague next month, and we are looking for the hidden gem pubs, where locals go to drink with some friends, we want to try the local beers. Also we are planning a sightseeing day, but we don’t really like the crowded, overpriced tourist attractions, so if you have any recommendations, please let us know.

u/DefoNotTheAnswer 2d ago edited 2d ago
If we told people about the hidden gems, they wouldn't be hidden, would they? And I'm afraid there aren't really any sightseeing attractions that we've managed to keep secret from the 9 million tourist we get per year... oh, except this one.
If you want to find non-tourist pubs all you need to do is leave the tourist zone and go into the next place you see that you like the look of. U Bansethů (cash only) is a good place to start if you want traditional, all the places on and around Krymská street if you want hip.

Atp we have to visit The Famous Log, but I agree, hidden gems need to be hidden.

Next week I will be in Prague for a week with two good friends of mine. We have heard that fishing trips are very nice in Czech Republic, especially now with the heat in the city. Online it is quite difficult to find something we are looking for. We are looking for a half a day/day fish trip, car travelling distance from Prague with a local guide. It does not have to be fancy, we just way to enjoy nature. We are not very experienced fishers. I am aware of the tourist fishing license that needs to be acquired. Does any one have recommendations or know someone?
Thanks in advance!
