Nice ambience, friendly service, but what is it about a restaurant? The food! Unfortunately it didn't taste good at all, I had tagliatelle with scampi - totally over salted and I paid a lot of money for it, it was very annoying, my body is on strike at home with diarrhea! This shouldn't happen after visiting a restaurant!!!!! I didn't complain about the food, but rather indulged myself as much as I could, since we had guests and had invited them to the castle tower that evening.

It was delicious and the view from the tower is great. You just have to ask if you can go up then one of the employees opens the door and the castle dog is super cute. The employees are very nice but waiting an hour just for the starter is just too much

We were here for the first time today and immediately felt at home. The food was fantastic. The atmosphere was cozy and the service was extremely accommodating. We will be back definitely.

You have to buy the entrance ticket for the tower in the city museum (under the tower) (then you will get the key)

Unfortunately currently closed. However, you have a wonderful view from the terrace.

Jan Hus Memorial

The Jan Hus Memorial stands at one end of Old Town Square. The huge monument depicts victorious Hussite warriors and Protestants who were forced into exile 200 years after Hus, and a young mother who symbolises national rebirth. The monument was so large that the sculptor designed and built his own villa and studio where the work could be carried out. It was unveiled in 1915 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Jan Hus' martyrdom. The memorial was designed by Ladislav Šaloun and paid for solely by public donations.

Born in 1369, Hus became an influential religious thinker, philosopher, and reformer in Prague. He was a key predecessor to the Protestant movement of the sixteenth century. In his works he criticized religious moral decay of the Catholic Church. Accordingly, the Czech patriot Hus believed that mass should be given in the vernacular, or local language, rather than in Latin. He was inspired by the teachings of John Wycliffe.
