A Day in the Heart of Prague with Červený Jelen

Prague is a city that offers endless ways to spend your day — whether you’re a local or a visitor. History, culture, cafés, design, and great food meet at every corner. We’ve prepared a simple itinerary to help you enjoy a perfect day in the city center, ending with a culinary experience at Červený Jelen.

Morning: Art and History

Start your day in one of the nearby galleries. The Prague City Gallery at the House at the Stone Bell regularly hosts exhibitions of both contemporary and classical art. If you prefer history, visit the Powder Tower or Municipal House, where you’ll be enchanted by the Art Nouveau architecture and the famous Smetana Hall.

Noon: Authentic Shopping and Coffee

Instead of luxury boutiques, explore Na Příkopě Street or smaller Czech design shops that showcase local creativity. Stop by SmetanaQ, where you’ll find pop-up stores by Czech designers and artists. If you need a break from the city’s buzz, grab a coffee at the Scout Institute, a unique spot right by the Old Town Square that combines a café with an inspiring community atmosphere.

Afternoon: Walks and Green Spaces

Just a few minutes from the busy center, you can relax in the Franciscan Garden or take a peaceful stroll along the Vltava riverbank — the perfect way to slow down before your evening plans.

Evening: Gastronomy at Červený Jelen

End your day at Červený Jelen, located in the historic Špork Palace. This modern Central European restaurant offers a diverse menu — from signature steaks and Josper-grilled specialties to modern twists on traditional Czech recipes, with options for vegetarians and vegans as well. Pair your meal with beer tapped from our iconic tank tower or a carefully curated selection of wines.

Červený Jelen isn’t just a place to eat — it’s an architectural experience where history meets contemporary design. After a day of exploring Prague, treat yourself to a dinner that’s an experience in itself.

Late Drink at ZVON

If you’re still in the mood to end your evening in style, head to ZVON Bar on Týnská Street. Just steps from Old Town Square, this bar offers a distinctive atmosphere — the perfect place to toast to a day well spent in the heart of Prague.
