The Czech Republic offers some truly beautiful locations for eating and drinking outdoors. Whether you’re into the traditional basket and blanket affair or a cookout, Prague has opportunities for both. In 2015 you can combine both: the newly opened Grill Park Výstaviště has tabletop grills for DIY BBQ! We’re also told that a number of delivery apps like Ordr and Damé Jídlo will now deliver to the park. A few more tips for enjoying your meal in the great outdoors:
