The Waffle Mill. Limited menu. They have 4 different menus, as well as ice cream, coffee, soft drinks, mineral water. Outdoor seating. There is only one outdoor seating area here, but it is comfortably situated on the lawn. Slugga is found during the morning, under two beautiful deciduous trees. In the afternoon there is no shade, then you can enjoy the sun and the heat. Handicap ramp. A disabled ramp is available

Clementinum

The Clementinum is a historic complex of buildings in Prague. Until recently the complex hosted the National, University and Technical libraries, the City Library also being located nearby on Mariánské Náměstí. The Technical library and the Municipal library have moved to the Prague National Technical Library at Technická 6 since 2009. It is currently in use as the National Library of the Czech Republic.

Its history dates from the existence of a chapel dedicated to Saint Clement in the 11th century. A Dominican monastery was founded in the medieval period, which was transformed in 1556 to a Jesuit college. In 1622 the Jesuits transferred the library of Charles University to the Klementinum, and the college was merged with the University in 1654. The Jesuits remained until 1773, when the Klementinum was established as an observatory, library, and university by the Empress Maria Theresa of Austria.
