TOP 5 BREAKFASTS
Many Czechs get up so early in the morning (often around 6am) that they don't have time
to start the day with anything more than a quick cup of coffee. As a result, the whole
concept of breakfast ( snidaně ) is quite alien. Most hotels serve the “continental” basics of
tea, coffee, rolls and cold cheese and meat, and there are a few nice cafés where you can
pick up a morning snack.
