Looking for Fresh and Free Fruit? Head to the Orchards: There Are 70 in Prague!

If you’re looking for fresh fruit, head to the orchards: they’re free, and Prague has the most in the world! Most Praguers have no idea that there are a number of fruit orchards in the capital, where one can pick various fruits for free, from apples to pears and cherries to blackberries. The forthcoming book Prague Fruit Orchards (Pražské ovocné sady), will introduce 15 publicly accessible orchards and readers will find out when the individual fruit ripens or what trips can be made in the area. Pluck a few cherries or pears from the tree and eat them right away. For many of us, the fruit carries many memories, especially from our childhood when we used to go to our grandmothers in the countryside or to summer camps as children. We all probably had secret expeditions to neighbor’s gardens where cherries were blushing. But it would probably occur to few that free and completely legal expeditions for fruit can be undertaken in Prague today. Nowadays, when the prices are going up, a little fresh fruit is vital. Just go to one of the 70 Prague orchards. Yes, Prague really has so many–the most in the world. “The Prague City Council...

Experience City’s Best Bars During the “Prague Cocktail Week”

Cocktail enthusiasts in Prague rejoice! Prague Cocktail Week is taking place from May 6th to 13th. The event offers a unique opportunity to explore the city’s vibrant cocktail scene and discover a world of new flavors. Participating bars, representing the crème de la crème of Prague’s cocktail scene, will be offering specially priced drinks at just 155 CZK throughout the week. This is your chance to indulge in expertly crafted cocktails at a discounted rate. Bit of History First… Organizers decided to host the Prague Cocktail Week from May 6th to 13th because the first documented definition of the word “cocktail” was in the May 6, 1806 issue of The Balance and Columbian Repository, in a reader’s letter that asked the publication to define the word. On May 13, 1806, the paper’s editor responded that it was a concoction of spirits, bitters, water, and sugar — essentially, the recipe for an Old Fashioned. The name was inspired by drinkers who refused to change with the times and ordered their drinks the old fashioned way: a brown spirit, sugar, water, and bitters. Beyond the Drinks The week promises an immersive experience beyond just delicious drinks. A rich program of workshops, tastings, and guest bartending sessions...
