New edition

1) PRAGUERS ARE ALWAYS IN A BAD MOOD

When there is someone with a grumpy expression that points out that he would like to kill you, don’t take it personally. Prague residents are always in a hurry and still seem to be in a bad mood. In short, it works like that here. But otherwise they are fine!

2) THEY DON’T WAIT FOR THE GREEN LIGHT

You can also recognize true Praguers by ignoring the traffic lights. In short, he is looking for every possible space that will be offered to him on the road, and when he sees the opportunity, he immediately crosses the street. Red, green, it doesn’t matter.

3) THEY DRINK BEER, A LOT OF BEER

The Czech Republic is well known for its excellent beer, and the Czechs have certainly never concealed themselves by being able to “send a few pieces” to themselves. But if you go out for a beer with such a Praguer, don’t be fooled. “Going out for one beer” is really just a phrase. Every Czech drinks an average of 142 liters of beer per year, while during an average session, the trained Praguer handles some 8 pieces and is not even out of breath.

4) THEY MUST ALWAYS PLAN SOMETHING

You will probably feel lazy, because the Praguers have - it seems - planned perhaps every minute of the day. And this also applies to weekends. It can only be Monday morning and the right Praguer already knows what he will do on the weekend.

5) THEY ARE OBSESSED WITH CARS

Although Prague has one of the best transport links in Europe, if we talk about public transport (train, metro, tram, bus), Prague citizens are still obsessed with driving everywhere. And even though they have to wait in the traffic jams for an hour.

6) THEY DON’T SEEM, BUT THEY HELP

Praguers are vigilant because someone keeps putting them something on the street or wants money from them. And this really annoys them. Therefore, when you stop them, they immediately go into defense mode and can look very dull. Don’t let this scare you. As soon as they realize that you just want some advice, they change completely and almost lead you to the place. They don’t seem that way, but they’re sweeties!

At Váhy: a Smíchov inn where tradition truly carries weight.

There are places that a person cannot invent from a desk. They must develop slowly. Years. Decades. Sometimes even whole centuries. One such place is the Bürgerhaus U Váhy on Nádražní Street in Smíchov. A building that appears unremarkable at first glance hides within it the story of old Smíchov, family traditions, honest cuisine, and hospitality that is not often seen today. U Váhy is not just a place to go for a beer or lunch. It is a house with a memory.
