Travel guide to Prague.

Think of the Czech Republic.

You immediately think of barbed wire, cabbage and giant liver spots.

Think again homie.

Prague is the Rome of eastern Europe, only cheaper, in several ways...

In fact, this destination is probably the cheapest, most stunning choice of holiday location you will come across, for maximum effect, follow a few simple guidelines as listed below.

1. Select your travel companions carefully.

You should preferably be looking for a crowd with the characteristics of being immensely funny, very thirsty and completely dedicated to indulgence of kookiness.

2. Fly with Ryan Air.

This is as previously mentioned, the ass hole of the flight industry, but the annoying side effects of the unbelievably low price can be significantly numbed by a great mood and the intake of alcohol.

3. Don't bother with a metro card, walk instead.

What ever street you happen to walk down is an experience in its own. The architecture of Prague is breathtakingly beautiful and besides, by walking around you will find the coolest buildings and the best pubs.

4. Stay hydrated.

Prague is known for its great beer, and it would be a sin not to indulge in the fluid gold of the Czech Republic. You will be happy to see that 0,5 litres of beer can be as cheep as a bag of potatoes on sale at farmfoods (£0.8).

Drinking less than ten beers a day is not recommended, and the consumption should preferably be spread evenly throughout the day. Start after breakfast, or before if you are hard core.

5. Be ware of the Czech cuisine.

You may already have heard the common saying "Czech food is sometimes (read rarely) well tasting, and the recipes remind of something your great grandmothers old mother may have liked (if the country was at war and there was nothing else to eat)" This is true.

However, there are a few pearls in the disappointing haystack of Czech food.

Check out Jama mexican steak house, the best flame grilled burger you will have ever had between your jaws.

And Kmotra Pizza restaurant, award winning stone oven baked pizza in an old vault. Really low prices. A meal here will make anyone smile, and possibly even dance around in happiness and delight.

6. Visit Harleys bar.

The home of Prague Ink tattoo studio, and the best XXXL cocktails you can imagine. The creative interior and the atmosphere makes it a MUST to visit. Get a tattoo if you feel brave. Maybe one of a pig in a pirate hat (no names mentioned, but it wasn't me).........

7. Absinth is overestimated.

Sure, go ahead and try it. When in Rome...

Remember though, this should not be a substitute for beer.

It doesn't make you hallucinate (its a shitty myth, don't buy it), its main purpose seems to be tearing up your intestines and it may also cause irresponsible actions.

8. Don't climb the lamp posts.

It may seem like a good idea at the time, but in 98% of the cases you will fall down and hurt your bum. Gravity, you know?

9. Drink, walk, drink, walk, drink, walk, drink

I am sure you get it. Stop every time you see a cosy place with cheap beer, have a drink, then continue sight seeing. I assure you, everything becomes intensely beautiful, funny and harmonic when you work this way.
