Best Ice Cream in Prague

What is better than refreshing ice cream on a hot day. Summer in Prague can be quite hot and those long lazy days are the best excuse for enjoying calorie-rich ice cream. Wherever you see the word zmrzlina, you know that you have come to the right place. Also pay attention to any sign that says cukrárna because this means patisserie and they sell the most delicious ice cream.
