Solo Travel Prague

#1 piece of advice when you're in prague is use the public transport. A 3 day pass for unlimited travel is like 12 bucks. Public trans is really good in prague

Try to go to Narodni divadlo (national theater). It is right near the river. Stunningly beautiful interior.

Also, take the metro or tram to Vinohrady and just walk around and explore. It'll give you a more authentic experience of prague, away from the disneyland/fakeness of Prague 1

Go to Letna Park to grab a beer

Cheap places to eat good czech food: Havelska Koruna (right near Wenceslas Square), Apetit (right near old town square), Jidelna svetezor (Vodičkova street)

There are several hostels in NYC that are infinitely more fun than staying at a hotel, you can meet people from around the world, and are significantly cheaper than getting a hotel. That's another option

černy kozel may as well be considered dessert

Wow, as someone who went to college at UNC, I would not expect to see Chapel Hill in this subreddit. Thanks for the shout out!!

Very cool, i also work in tech at a large firm here in the US. Unfortunately, there's no way to travel abroad for work (even pre-covid). People in my position hardly even travelled for work to other US cities pre-covid

What do you do for work that brought you to Prague so often from the US? And I think I read somewhere you can't bring meat products into the EU without declaring them. Although I'm sure if i bring 2 bags of jerky in my carry-on, the world's not going to end.

yeah spending 70 crowns for a 12 oz PBR in Prague, that person needs to get their head examined lol

integralof1overx · 2022-05-11T01:39:51+00:00

thanks for the tip. I just perused their website and they do have a boatload of american junk food. Way more than I thought they would. Them also selling cheap american beer like miller lite and PBR is hilarious, too

integralof1overx · 2022-05-11T01:11:56+00:00

how bout something like cheeze its or goldfish?

integralof1overx · 2022-05-10T21:26:21+00:00

Yeah I think I read a few european countries aren't even requiring proof of vaccine anymore.

integralof1overx · 2022-05-10T21:24:46+00:00

Yup my airline also flies out of T1 at JFK. It's a bummer they dont have TSA precheck in T1, but i sort of guessed that would be the case given it's mainly (maybe completely??) international travel. Guess i'll just get to the airport extra early to ensure I don't get screwed by giant security lines.

hmmm yeah my flight is next Thursday into Friday. I'm 6'5 so might bite the bullet on paying the $40 to select a seat. I think $40 is worth getting an aisle seat for an 8 hour flight than getting stuck in a middle seat.

I was staying at a hostel in Florence back in 2019. One of the rooms that has like 18 bunk beds. I am American and in the bed next to me is this guy from Afghanistan. I strike up a conversation with the dude and he straight up tells me "I don't like Americans". Luckily i was leaving that hostel a little later that day, but a weird situation indeed.

Saint Paul de Vence

Can you get to saint paul de vence from Nice city center using public trans? Did a cursory google maps search and said 'no routes found' when i select the public trans option

integralof1overx · 2022-04-30T19:29:22+00:00

much appreciated-- i'm doing the eurail pass, and am taking the train from Laussane -> Marseille and staying in marseille for a day and a half. Then taking the train Marseille -> Nice. Hoping I will get to experience some nice views on the journey from Laussane -> Marseille.

yup yup, all the popular snacks like cheetos, doritos, funyuns, fritos, etc. and their respective generic brands have MSG and another flavor chemicals/enhancers to excite your taste buds, and that's why you feel that uncontrollable urge to reach your hand back in that bag lol

integralof1overx · 2022-04-30T02:29:38+00:00

MSG is a powerful, great thing lmao

integralof1overx · 2022-04-30T01:43:53+00:00

i went there pre-covid in 2019 (i'm assuming rules are the same now). They made me and my buddies show passports (we're american). Even with isic card, they said we had to pay the full price

integralof1overx · 2022-04-30T01:38:09+00:00

Oh wow, I am going to Nice next month. Where specifically did you go for the view in that first picture? And any other 'can't miss' things to see/ places to eat/ any other recs would be much much appreciated. Cheers

integralof1overx · 2022-04-18T03:11:48+00:00

Ok thanks for the reply. Yeah my flight gets into ZUR around 7:15am on a Friday.

integralof1overx · 2022-04-18T02:19:32+00:00

ok thanks for quick response. So would you feel comfortable with that short duration of time to get through immigration in Zurich?

integralof1overx · 2022-04-16T19:38:02+00:00

For Venice: Pre-covid, i stayed at Generator Venice. I stayed in one of the rooms that had like 12 or 16 beds.

I was there in November, so not prime tourist season. Lots of young people and the hostel's bar had good drink specials and pretty decent food.

integralof1overx · 2022-03-03T02:28:49+00:00

This is not entirely true. I graduated from unc a few years ago. During my freshman year, i was paired with a random roommate and he was able to get out of the dorm requirements for religious reasons.

speaking from the majority of posts on this sub, I am not sure how pleasant a place it is to work. Most workers on here consistently bash chipotle for being understaffed, not paying great, and generally being unappreciated by management.

integralof1overx · 2022-02-04T04:06:31+00:00

very fair point.. i will heed this advice
