Tips for Vegan Travellers in Prague
Prague is a remarkably walkable city and the vegan scene is spread across several distinct neighbourhoods. Vinohrady (where Sandokan and Krafin are located) is particularly rich in plant-based spots. For the Old Town, Lehká Hlava and Vegan’s Prague are both excellent choices. Chutnej and Linh are worth booking ahead for dinner. And Herbivore on the river is perfect for a Wednesday to Sunday lunch in the sunshine.
