If the weather is still tricky, it´s fine to have some more indoor activities in reserve. Especially if you´ve brought your children to Prague as well, check out the Prague Imaginarium associated with the Prague Wax Museum in the lower part of Wenceslas Square - there is the largest mirror maze in the Czech Republic and a unique caleidoscopic cinema.

Some careful beers outdoors
As you know, Czechs love beer and especially beer consumed outside in their favourite beer garden. But March is sometimes still very chilly, so the locals choose pubs, that offer both outside and inside seating. Check out the Parukářka pub overlooking the Žižkov quarter and the nearby atomic bunker with an original underground bar.
If you wish to taste as many different types of beer as possible, embark on a Prague beer tour. If you´re looking for quantity and an original setting, take your friends for a Prague beer bike experience, that takes place all year round in the beautiful park of Letná.
