Incantato Restaurant: Michal in Prague - Farewell Dinner on Sunday, April 10

On Sunday, April 10 the YPAS travelers spend their last night in Europe and will enjoy a special farewell dinner in Prague: at Restaurant Michal. The restaurant is situated in one of the oldest parts of historical Prague on the right bank of the River Vltava, only a few steps away from the stone arches of Charles Bridge. The building in which the fully air-conditioned restaurant is situated was reconstructed in Art Nouveau style in the second half of the 19th century, but from its interior it is clear that its roots go back as far as the Early Gothic period. Their typical menu includes both typical Czech dishes and international cuisine.
