Louny, a town in the Ústí nad Labem Region, holds a remarkable secret: it is home to what experts call the most healing mineral spring in Europe, and possibly the world. Comparable only to the famed springs in Borjomi, Georgia, and Vichy, France, this water’s unique composition sets it apart and attracts visitors from far beyond Czech borders—many of whom attest to its near-miraculous effects. If you find yourself in Louny, you should visit a small park tucked between Vladimirská, Palackého, U Pramenu, U Spravedlnosti, and Cítolibská streets. There, a rare mineral spring bubbles up from deep below—the Luna spring—offering therapeutic qualities unmatched anywhere else. A Discovery by Chance The Luna spring was uncovered in 1963 during geological surveys aimed at studying the Czech chalk subsoil. At a depth of 1,200 meters, workers found mineral-rich water naturally emerging under pressure. Early tests showed the water’s medicinal qualities, leading the Czech Ministry of Health to officially declare it a natural medicinal source in 1966. Since then, it has been recognized for its use in preventive healthcare. The Luna mineral water stands out for its high mineral content—an impressive 17.5 grams of dissolved salts per liter—making it hypertonic and highly acidic. This...

Looking for a summer escape filled with colour, scent, and calm? Across Czechia, lavender farms and herb gardens are opening their gates to visitors, offering a different kind of seasonal experience—one scented with fresh blooms, homemade products, and peaceful countryside views. You don’t need to go to Provence to be surrounded by lavender. Several farms in the Czech Republic now cultivate the purple flower, known for its calming properties and strong fragrance. During peak bloom, the fields are not only a sight to see but a sensory experience—especially when paired with lavender-flavoured treats. One of the best-known stops is Lavender Valley in Chodouň, near Beroun. Here, visitors can explore the fields, try wellness treatments using lavender oils, and enjoy refreshments like lavender lemonade and ice cream. Nearby, you can also visit the Křivoklát Castle or take a tour of the Rückl glass factory, both easy detours from the farm. Further south, in South Moravia’s wine region, the Lavandia Farm near Starovičky opens for the season with its own café and lavender products. The farm sits near the Lednice-Valtice landscape area, making it a scenic addition to any trip to the region. In Central Moravia, Bezděkov Lavender Farm offers something more...

Right across from Prague’s main train station on Opletalova Street, Monkey Bar is taking diners on a global tour — without leaving their seat. The new menu, designed by chef Jakub Vyškovský, offers a variety of small plates inspired by cuisines from around the world. It’s a playful approach that fits the bar’s jungle-themed interior and laid-back atmosphere. Vyškovský, who has cooked in Michelin-starred kitchens across Europe, says what he values most is creative freedom. “I like that The Monkey Bar isn’t trying to copy anyone else,” he explains. “We want to surprise people — in a good way.” That goal shows up on the menu, which is built around tapas-style portions. On a recent visit, the lobster ravioli with foie gras sauce, butter cabbage, and truffle stood out — a rich, well-balanced dish with strong earthy tones that didn’t overpower the seafood. The nigiri with foie gras, tuna, and watermelon tataki was more adventurous. “I wasn’t sure at first, but it actually worked,” one diner at a nearby table said. “It’s definitely not something you see often in Prague.” We also liked the burnt cauliflower with chimichurri, which had a spicy kick and a great char. The shrimp tacos...
Craving fresh strawberries for dumplings, jam, or homemade cakes? Good news: the 2025 strawberry season has officially started in the Czech Republic, and many farms are already opening their fields to the public for self-picking. Due to an unusually cold May followed by drought conditions, the season is off to a slower start this year. Some farms have already opened their gates, while others are waiting for the berries to fully ripen in early June. Either way, now is the time to grab a basket and head out. Self-picking strawberries might take more effort than buying them in the store, but the reward is worth it: lower prices, fresher fruit, and unbeatable flavor. Here’s a regional breakdown of where you can go strawberry picking and what you can expect to pay: Prague Kunratice: Picking begins between June 5–10, priced at approx. 100 CZK/kg Central Bohemian Region Sedlčánky Strawberry Farm: Opens May 23, approx. 79 CZK/kg Bříství Orchards: Opens May 24, approx. 99 CZK/kg Starokolínské Strawberries: Opens May 24, approx. 80 CZK/kg Pardubice Region Drahoš Farm: Opens June 10 Hradec Králové Region Lhota pod Libčany Agrodružstvo: Expected to open around late May to early June Ústí Region Brozany Strawberry Farm: Opens...
