4.5/5 – TripAdvisor

One of the main places to eat a trdelník in Prague is at U Kajetána, located at Nerudova 248/17, 118 00 Malá Strana.

Two points make it one of the most popular places: the quality of its trdelník, but also and above all, the fact that it is halfway between the center and the castle of Prague.

🍴 What people say about Karlova 🍴

3.5/5 – TripAdvisor

Located Karlova 190/1, 110 00 Staré Město, Karlova is a small shop that claims by itself, to sell the best trdelník in Prague. Is this true? We don’t know. The only certainty is that they are pretty good.

One of the big advantages of Karlova (besides its location) is its industrial ice cream extras, small cherry on top and even the unlikely Nutella – ice cream combo… Suffice to say that you’ll have to walk a long way to eliminate!
