Around Ungelt and Týnský dvůr in the Old Town

Not far from Old Town Square is Týnský Dvůr, located at the intersection of three small streets: Týnská, Štuparstká and Malá Štupartská. Here, you can see the richness of Prague's merchant past.


The Ungelt is one of most historically important places in Prague and a centre of culture and trade. (photo: www.virtualtravel.cz)

This complex of buildings, also known as Ungelt, served foreign merchants as a common lodging place and customs house. The Unglet court is entered from behind Týn church, through a wonderfully asymmetrical Renaissance-era gateway. Ther the three small streets come together in a triangle, adding to the sense of having entered another era. Just on the left before entering the gate, you’ll notice the House with the Gold Ring (Dům U zlatého prstenu), which now houses one of Prague's municipal galleries and is home to both temporary expositions well as a permanent art exhibit. Exiting Ungelt through the eastern gate, we find a remarkable church dedicated to St. James, the pilgrim saint.

    Bohemia Bagel The bagel's popularity has spread from America back to Central Europe, the place of its origin. Opened in 1996, Bohemia Bagel offers American-style fast food with a touch of bagel - sandwiches, fries, burgers, etc. Prices are very affordable, and the place is especially popular among young budget-conscious travellers. Masná, 224 812 560.

    Restaurant Yami Sushi in the Czech Republic has found a steadily growing community of aficionados. As a result, the number of Japanese or Korean restaurants has exploded in recent years. Of course, not all are up to par, especially in the tourist center where quality can be poor and the prices high. Yami restaurant, located a bit off Old Town Square was one of the first Asian restaurants in Prague and definitely is worth visiting. Consider making reservations, as Yami is always full. Masná 3, 222 312 756.

    Divinis This Italian wine bar is distinguished by its excellent cuisine, but especially by its decor and romantic atmosphere. Conceived by the Italian architect Luciano Belcapo, it is an ideal restaurant for being in love. And you will not be able to resist resist the sublime menu of Italian wines. Týnská 21, 222 325 440.
