Things To Do
in Mladá Boleslav

Braised beef in a creamy vegetable sauce with dumplings and cranberry — a Czech classic found in most traditional restaurants and pubs.

Must-Try!

Rich beef or pork goulash served with bread dumplings; widely available in pubs and family restaurants.

Deep-fried cheese served with fries or potatoes and tartar sauce — a popular casual and vegetarian-friendly option often on pub menus.

Locally available lagers and pilsners; enjoy at pubs or beer gardens—perfect with savory dishes.

Local markets pop up seasonally on the square or nearby streets where you can buy fresh produce, regional cheeses, sausages and bakery items — look for seasonal fruit, honey and homemade pastries.

At festivals or museum events you may find grilled sausages, trdelník (sweet pastry) and seasonal snack stands.

Use a polite greeting like 'Dobrý den' (good day) when entering shops or meeting people; handshakes are common in formal introductions. Czechs tend to be reserved and value personal space.

Be on time for appointments and tours — punctuality is appreciated in both business and social contexts.

Wait for a host to invite you to sit, and keep hands visible on the table; saying 'Dobrou chuť' before a meal and 'Děkuji' afterwards is polite.

Keep noise moderate in public spaces and on public transport. Always follow posted signs for restricted or private areas, especially around factory grounds.

Tipping 5–10% in restaurants is common for good service; for cafés and small purchases rounding up the bill or leaving small change is typical. Tipping is appreciated but not always mandatory.

Czech koruna (CZK) is the official currency. Cards (Visa, MasterCard) and contactless payments are widely accepted in shops and restaurants; smaller businesses may prefer cash. ATMs are readily available and many places accept card payments from visitors.

Warm and pleasant with temperatures often in the low to mid 20s °C (70s °F); ideal for hiking, cycling, outdoor cafés and river walks. Peak tourist season brings more events and crowded viewpoints on weekends — book accommodations early.

Crisp air and colorful foliage make it a great time for photography and hiking in the Bohemian Paradise; some attractions have reduced hours late in the season.

Cold with possible snowfall and temperatures often below freezing; town is quieter, museum visits are comfortable and nearby hills may offer cross-country skiing when snow allows.

Unpredictable weather with cool mornings and milder afternoons; blossoms and newborn lambs in the countryside make for attractive landscapes, but pack layers and rain protection.

A network of marked trails among dramatic sandstone towers and narrow passages — highly popular for hiking, climbing and photography (approx. 30–40 minutes drive).

Hikes around the iconic ruined castle offering panoramic views of the Bohemian Paradise countryside; trails are suitable for half-day excursions.

Riverside walking and cycling paths along the Jizera suitable for easy day walks, birdwatching and family outings.

Rolling wooded areas north of the city provide quieter trails, seasonal mushroom- and berry-picking (observe local regulations) and peaceful nature experiences.
