Eat Czech comfort food and drink the famous beer

Prague is a joy for budget eaters and drinkers. Czech food is hearty and cheap: try svíčková, the beloved beef in creamy sauce, goulash, or a roast pork knuckle, ideally at a local pub rather than a tourist-facing restaurant where the same dish costs far more. And the beer is legendary, often cheaper than soft drinks and among the best in the world. A guided food and beer tour is a fun way to learn the ropes, or follow our pointers to the local pubs where the prices and the atmosphere are both better.
