Prague in November

Hi there. We are visiting Prague for my fiance%26#39;s 30th birthday in November, just the 2 of us. I would like to know if anyone can recommend a really nice restaurant for a special meal?? And also pub/nightlife wise is there some bars playing cheesy pop type music and also anyone knows of places that play indie music also?? All help very much appreciated! The weekend we are going Fri 17th Nov is a bank holiday, does anyone know if this will affect our visit ie will all shops.museums be closed??

Special is Kampa Park with a view over the Charles Bridge www.kampagroup.com. Palffy Palac is an old fashioned place with lots of atmosphere. I love the Sahara Cafe, which is not exactly down town, but has great atmosphere and food.

Also a good place for your age group is Pravda in the Jewish Quarter. A place to watch and being seen. And close to the bars. (Tretters, Bugsies, Ocean Drive, all within 5 min walk)

Shops in the tourist area will be open, I am not sure about the Museums, they are usually closed on Mondays.

muzeums will be open as well (apart from as Martina says on Monday), but close at dusk, which after this weekend is much earlier.

The city will mostly be absent of locals - most will go to the countryside, but this should not impact is or is not open in the centre

Thanks for the advice, thats great to have the names of some places to go. Kampa Park looks lovely! Does anyone know re bars/anywhere with a good disco type club that plays 80%26#39;s music? And also any places playing indie/rock music??

I will be in the Prague the same weekend as you. I have already made reservations at Kampa Park for Saturday the 18th...easy to do on the internet and I received a quick response. I did not realize there is a holiday....I would like any other holiday info if possible!

November 17th is set aside to commemorate the Velvet Revolution in 1989. It%26#39;s called A Day of Honor For the Struggle For Democracy - or something like that. It%26#39;s akin to the Czech Independence Day - from the brutish Communist regime.

|||

Will there be any parades or events that we might want to watch??

|||

there is always a commemoration on the evening of the 16th down narodni trida where the only violence was. you normally see havel there laying a wreath where the students got beaten

Lucerna off wenceslas square has legendary 80%26#39;s disco nights on fridays and saturdays
