The Prague – Berlin on Eurocity is a great train trip where you can enjoy a scenic landscape where you pass lovely spa towns on your way into the Germany landscape.
The restaurant on the train
The train is Eurocity and there will be a restaurant on board. Not a kiosk or trolley, but a proper restaurant where you can sit down and enjoy a meal and a few drinks while you enjoy the landscape outside.
Which I did.
Enjoying a Pilsner Urquell (€3.20) on train between Prague and Berlin.
Restaurant on Eurocity
Sit down, enjoy the thick and tasty Goulash-soup (€4,10) relax, and wash it down with some Pilsner Urquell (€3.10 for 0,33l)
Here are a few more photos from the trip

We are passing the spa town of Bad Schandau on the right.
Czech Republic is a beer loving country and the per capita consumption (that’s per person) each year exceeds 150 litres of the golden stuff.
When watching FK Victoria Zizkov play a home game last summer I was pleased to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere among the audience.
At half time everyone had a beer and a sausage and enjoyed themselves. And you could bring your beer back to your seat without getting any problems with the security guards.
Prague is chilly during winter time, but it’s still a great destination for a city break. But, if you are seeking sun and fun for your holiday you are only able to get the fun part in Prague.
For winter sun on the other hand, there is few places as good as Gran Canaria on the Canary Isles. Whether you prefer to enjoy the days at the great water park Aqualand Maspalomas, or if you prefer to soak up your nights with the Playa del Ingles nightlife, the island has plenty on offer for all kinds of tourists.
Check out our sister travel guide now for the latest and up to date info on Gran Canaria.
BTW: There’s even a cactus park for you hipster tourists.
Hard Rock Cafe in Prague is famous for its’ many spectacular parties. This New Year’s Eve is of course not an exception. Here’s a video showing footage of lots of dancing and hedonistic partying:

I’ve always been interested in millitary history, so no wonder that an army museum was high on my list of priorities when visiting Prague.
The museum is located in the Zizkov district of Prague, it’s pretty central, but it was hard to find (at least for me, but I did not have a GPS, nor a map!).
3 large sections
The exposition is divided into three large sections. The first is dedicated to the period of the World War 1 (1914 to 1918), the involvement of Czech and Slovak people in the war, and the political and military events that resulted in the constitution of the independent Czechoslovak Republic. The second section is dedicated to the Czechoslovak republic and its armed forces between the world wars, and the third section maps the period of the World War 2, and the involvement of the Czech and Slovak people in the military operations, home resistance and other events aimed at restoring the independence of Czechoslovakia.
Admission: Free
Best of all, entry is free!
Opening times are 10 AM to 6 PM, Tuesday to Sunday. Closed on Mondays.
The address is U Pamatniku 2. It’s in Prague 3 in the Zizkov district, not too far from Victoria Zizkov’s stadium. To get to the museum, take bus 133 or 175 from the Florenc underground station, stop U Památníku or 10 minutes walk from Florenc station.
