For a first date in Prague, try Hemingway Bar, Café Louvre, or Café Savoy. Weekday evenings are calmer; on Friday and Saturday, book ahead where you can.
A first date in Prague is usually simple: a coffee, a beer or a glass of Moravian wine, or a walk with a view. Nobody expects you to spend a lot, and an easy, honest evening goes down best.
Here are ten real places for every budget, from free sunsets at Vyšehrad and Riegrovy sady to a cocktail bar you should book ahead, plus three unusual ideas at the end.
