Czechbitch 30 Best Guide

Every Wednesday and Saturday, the square in front of St. Ludmila’s church transforms. You can buy parenica (smoked cheese rope) and špekáčky (sausages) to grill on communal fire pits right there.


16. Karlovy Vary Spa Wand Walk The lifestyle here is walking the colonnade while sipping hot mineral water from a porcelain spa mug (handle to the nose). Try at least 3 different springs.

17. Infrared Yoga at Lanna Spa Hot yoga is old news. Infrared yoga combines sweat lodge benefits with a silent disco headset so you don’t bother the neighbors.

18. Paddleboarding to Čertovka (Prague Canal) Rent a board at Půjčovna lodí. Paddle through the "Venice of Prague" under the Charles Bridge before the 9 AM tourist rush. czechbitch 30 best

19. Forest Bathing in Divoká Šárka A 20-minute tram ride from Wenceslas Square, you are in a deep gorge with a natural swimming pool. The ultimate digital detox.

20. Bobsledding at Monínec For adrenaline entertainment. A summer bobsled track through the forest. You control the brake. Open until 9 PM.

21. Sauna World at Žluté lázně A floating sauna complex on a river island. The ritual: hot sauna → jump into cold Vltava → repeat. Includes a chill-out deck with hammocks. Every Wednesday and Saturday, the square in front of St

22. Climbing at SmíchOff Bouldering in a repurposed slaughterhouse. After climbing, the same building has 5 microbreweries for a protein-and-beer dinner.

Hidden in the basement near the Charles Bridge, this museum offers "mystical" tours focusing on Rudolf II’s scientists. It is cheesy, theatrical, and wildly entertaining.


Located in the iconic Lucerna Passage, this venue is a time capsule of the 1980s. While it hosts international acts, the main draw is the Friday and Saturday 80s & 90s disco. Dancing under the mirrored ball with a young, energetic crowd is a rite of passage. Located in the iconic Lucerna Passage, this venue

Prague Heaviness
Despite claiming to cover the whole country, 21 of the 30 entries are in Prague. Brno gets three mentions (a great coffee roastery, a secondhand vinyl lounge, and one bistro). Plzeň, Olomouc, and Ostrava are virtually invisible. If you live outside the capital, you’ll feel slighted.

Elitist Blindness
The guide has a distinct bias toward “quiet luxury.” There is no mention of a single mainstream cinema multiplex, no ice hockey bar (a national obsession), and only a snobbish dismissal of the famous Prague beer bikes (“best left to bachelor parties”). This is a lifestyle guide for people who own linen shirts and discuss terroir. That’s fine—but the title doesn’t warn you.

Sustainability Omission
In 2026, a “best lifestyle” guide should note which venues are sustainable. Only three entries mention zero-waste policies or local sourcing. A missed opportunity.
