Nebozizek Restaurant
Lesser Town, Prague 1

The setting is particularly nice as dusk descends into night, with the city below lighting up before you.

Nebozizek Restaurant is set in a glass conservatory surrounded by woodland, a little below Petrin Tower.

Heated in the winter, cool in the summer, the conservatory gives the restaurant a light, airy feel and boasts the finest panoramic views.

During busy periods the restaurant expands into a small building attached, which also offers good views.

Nebozizek offers a fine selection of Czech and International fare. Food is well prepared and presented, and will appeal to most palates; given the superb location of the restaurant, it is also very reasonably priced.

There is an ample selection of wines to match the food, to suit all budgets, including a range of Czech wines.

Live piano adds to the charm; the pianist plays most nights, depending on the amount of people in the restaurant.

Nebozizek Restaurant makes for a fine excursion any time of the year. On fine weather days, enjoy the sun setting over the red rooftops of the city. In the winter, you may be lucky and look out at snow sprinkled over the city - while safely cocooned in the warmth of the restaurant.

To get to the Nebozizek, take the funicular up Petrin hill from Ujezd street in the Lesser Town (Malá Strana). Alight at the first stop, and Nebozizek is situated 100m to the left. Alternatively, catch a taxi or take a 15 minute stroll up Petrin hill. The climb is steep, but the walk is pleasant, passing through gardens and an apple orchard.

On the return, catch the funicular or a taxi. Or for a perfect end to the evening, walk down Petrin hill into the Lesser Town, and stroll across Charles Bridge.

Make the effort to travel up to Nebozizek, and for a few hours at least, you will have Prague at your feet.
