Surprise visit to Praha…

Posted On June 30, 2011

Roasted Duck and Sour White & Red Cabbage in old Bohemian style.

Living in Southern Germany it is very easy to visit neighbor countries with few hours of travel by car. Last Tuesday was my Birthday. Usually, on my Birthday my hubby surprises me with presents. But this time it was a different surprise. Yes, he booked a surprise vacation in Prague. I heard of Prague as a beautiful city and I completely agree with what I have seen.

To have a real feel of the city and to interact with people, we decided to use public transport to reach the city from our vacation home. Then we had a long walk around the old city. On our way, we were amazed by beautiful ancient buildings all around the old city. Majestic Cathedrals, Charles Bridge with beautiful monuments and it is truly a place with a lot of history. Â Ok, definitely not the least we wanted to also try the traditional food. Â We have ordered for Goulash and Bread Dumpling, Steaks. The food was nicely presented, and it was delicious as it looks.

On Tuesday we visited Prague Castle. I liked the Golden lane among all the attractions inside the castle. After a very nice historical site seeing it was lunchtime already. We wanted to go to traditional food again. We found this restaurant 2kms away from the castle which was promising to serve typical food which we were looking for. Our menu was Roasted duck with sour white & red cabbage in old Bohemian Style, Dumplings, and Goulash with Potato cakes. I have tried Goulash and sour cabbage several times here in Germany but the bread dumplings were interesting to know. I also came to know from one of the traditional Czech recipe books that some recipes are common in German and Czech Cuisine.

At the end of our trip, we felt happy and nice. Perhaps two days was a short time to know about Prague and decided to visit one more time later.
