Yesterday the temperature snuck up around 17 degrees which was enough to drive most of the Prague population outside after work.
I went to my local beer garden on the hill of Parukarka (or is the hill called St. Cross, I’m confused?) 5 minutes from our place. There was a long line for the beer but eventually I got one just before they ran out of glasses.
You buy the beer at either a small booth or inside a tiny pavilion pub and then you can take the the beer with you into the green field and hang around while watching the sun set over Prague. Here is a 360 shot taken outside the beer booth.
Just before the sun set the pub ran out of beer. But that didn’t matter I still had my beer and went further up the hill to see the sun set behind the Strahov hill just to the left of the big castle on the other side of Prague.
Did we just skip spring and went straight to summer?

i’m wearing a light leather jacket today and it’s too warm. people are wearing short sleeve shirts today. It seems summer’s come early.
I just came back from eating lunch at Vitkov Hill in shorts and a sweater and that was too warm 🙂
What a lovely day it looks there, no glass for beer then running out of beer – Catastrophy!
Yeah I think the little pub was taken aback of the turn up yesterday evening. Half an hour after they ran out they got new supplies tho. But by then the sun was gone and most people were heading home.
Is there any beer garden in Denmark?
There is ZumBiergarten.dk in Copenhagen but otherwise I don’t know of any places with the German/Czech atmosphere of beer gardens. The true Danish way is to take your bike go to Netto (supermarket) fill a bag with beer and drive to a park and chill until your beers are gone.
