Skautský Institut Prague

A riverside scout cafe and bar

Thiago from Prague

Hi, my name is Thiago. I'm originally from Brazil, but I have been calling Prague "home" since 2019. I'm a graphic designer who loves cinema, talking to people, collecting vinyls, walking around, and people watching while having a cup of coffee or a nice beer. Why Prague? I like to say that I didn't choose Prague, but Prague choose me. My girlfriend got a job here, and sin...
"Steps from Charles Bridge, Skautsky Institut is the perfect spot to relax with coffee, koláč, or a beer — plus workshops and events in a riverside oasis."

Yes, you read it right. A scout bar steps away from Charles Bridge.

A great place to chill and watch the pedal boats in the river while having some coffee and koláč or a beer on a sunny afternoon. Skautsky Institut is an oasis in the historical center of Prague.

But this is not a regular coffee place or a bar with good and affordable treats, the Institute also offers a variety of workshops and events (some even for free, check out their program).

There is also another one located in a building right next to the old town square, but I have to say that the river view in this venue gets me!

Prague Spotter Thiago

Hi, my name is Thiago. I'm originally from Brazil, but I have been calling Prague "home" since 2019. I'm a graphic designer who loves cinema, talking to people, collecting vinyls, walking around, and people watching while having a cup of coffee or a nice beer. Why Prague? I like to say that I didn't choose Prague, but Prague choose me. My girlfriend got a job here, and since I was working as a freelancer we decided to come together for a year... and then 6 years have passed. As Kafka once said, this city has claws that won't let you go, and I'm glad for that =)

Pet Cemetery

Dogs, cats and rabbits rest here

The Bohnice "Pet Cemetery" in Prague is a small jungle. It's touching and interesting to see how deeply in love some pet owners were with their companions.
