It’s that time again. Head to the fields and pick your own strawberries in and around Prague. Jams, strawberries with whipped cream and fruit dumplings. The strawberry season usually begins in early June, and Czechs like to go to plantations every year, where they can pick fresh strawberries themselves. We all know that berries taste better when you’ve picked them yourself, perhaps due to the fact you get a bit of nature – or that the process of picking can be rather meditative (or did we just get a bit delirious from the sun last time we went?). The season has officially begun, which means we now have at least two months of juicy red berries to enjoy. The average price of this year’s self-picking ranges from 60 to 70 crowns per kilo. Here’s our roundup of where to pick your own strawberries in Berlin in 2022. Prague Jahody Kunratice From 3rd to 7th June.

Using public transportation with your bicycle has been getting easier in the last couple of years. Nowadays you can travel with your bike by metro, trains, ferries and in certain eras also by trams. But there are certain rules and restrictions that you need to follow. Metro In the metro, you can transport your bicycle on the front and back platforms of every carriage excluding the front one behind the driver. Every platform can take up to two bikes at a time. To make sure you´re in the right spot, you can check the signs on the door. Trains Currently, all the trains operating as part of Prague´s public transport have space for bikes. Within Prague, unlike outside, you don’t need to pay extra to take the bike with you on the train. Outside of the city, you´ll need to pay for the bike based on the tariff of the carrier. If you travel with your bike during the summer season, it’s highly recommended to make a reservation as the number of bikes on the train is limited. Trams On the tram, you can transport your bike only in certain areas in directions out of the city. All the...
