Prague: Traditional Czech Cuisine And Modern Interpretations
The official tourist board, Prague City Tourism, has prepared two options for themed gastronomic walks: one for groups and another for individuals. During the tour, participants will taste typical Czech dishes traditionally served with beer, open-faced sandwiches, and, to finish, a sweet treat accompanied by a glass of Moravian wine.
Prague Food Tour ↗ offers two options: one focused on modern cuisine outside the main centre of Prague, and the other a classic walk in the very heart of the city. Tours are conducted in English and Spanish.
Taste of Prague↗ features several types of experiences in its portfolio, from classic foodie tours and Prague dinners to cocktail tours and wine trips to South Moravia. An interesting offer also comes from the company Local Food Tour Prague↗, which combines tastings with explanations about the history of Czech cuisine.
