Have you ever visited shops that sell stationary materials during your vacation? In Prague, don’t forget to visit Papelote Stationery . This shop sells ordinary notebooks, exercise books, pens and pencils; however, the unique design of this place is the main attraction of Papelote Stationery. Instead of standard display windows, there are beautiful wooden tables in the shop. Many items for sale are attached to the walls, so it’s very interesting and comfortable to look at them.

Having enjoyed shopping and walking, it’s high time to start exploring dining traditions of Prague. Delicious Czech beer is the first thing that comes to minds of millions of travelers when they hear about the city. One can try this drink in hundreds of amazing restaurants and bars across Prague. However, there are some authentic places in the Czech capital, like Vytopna - a depot type beer restaurant. Here, travelers can sample beer in a unique way. Unlike many restaurants, in which waiters dressed in national costumes bring mugs with beer, at Vytopna the beer is delivered by small trains. These trains ride swiftly on special rails put between the tables. Curiously, Vytopna is a family restaurant, so there is a gorgeous playground for children. As this place is very popular, you will need to book a table in advance if you want to visit the unusual “depot” beer restaurant.

There are some mystic and hidden districts in Prague, and not many travelers know about their existence. For example, Rotunda svatého Kříže , which is located not far from the Charles Bridge, is not mentioned in the majority of tour guides, and travelers won’t see it during most excursions. There are many legends connected with the old church. According to one of them, several hundred years ago, there was a pond on the site of the current church. A local girl, who became a Christian against the will of her parents, decided to commit suicide and get drowned in the pond. When the church was built, many people noticed the ghost of the girl inside. According to another legend, a large treasure was hidden in the foundation of the church, and ghosts guard that treasure, very evil and malicious ghosts. Many skeptical people visit the church, but the majority of them notice sudden anxiety or even panic fear when they enter the rotunda. If you do not believe in scary legends, visit the church and see the landmark with your own eyes.

An ordinary walk on Prague streets can leave many unforgettable memories because there are many amazing monuments and sculptures everywhere.

There is one more unusual monument on Resslova Street – a “dancing house”. Don’t forget to make photos with the house in the background as this landmark of Deconstructivism looks absolutely incredible with surrounding medieval buildings.
