I’m going to be there for a few nights later this month. I’m staying at the Hilton old town. Are there takeaway places that serve kebabs, gyros, pizza etc? I love that food and normally don’t eat until 10 ish

Thank you

You'll find kebab shops throughout the city that are open late (at least until 11 PM).

Lots of street food, of all kinds. Step back street or two from main tourist drags if you want a better deal.

And avoid the Trdelník!

Just don't change money on the street, at any hour.

I’ll find an ATM at PRG rather than the street

If you don't mind exchanging money at an exchange business, there are some where you can get a really good rate. Mr. Kipper used one this year because the rate was that good.

In Europe, we call that early.

Oh my yes, I hear they are not even a real local dessert.

But if you do have time, search out the paternoster elevators and go for an amusing ride.

kipper

I know, and I'm fairly certain a decent number of them are open until 2 or 3 AM, but it's been a year since I've been awake that late in Prague.
They are not a real local dessert. IIRC, they are Hungarian.

Yes, do the paternoster elevator!

It looks good! I may check it out when I'm there in January.

Technically Romanian even (although granted, originating from the Hungarian minority in Transylvania).

But it's indeed true that it's not a real local dessert. Czech friends of mine would say it's something only tourist eat (with ice cream inside). In the same way that you see Nutella shops popping up in every European capital where not a single local would dare to set foot in.

In Czech Republic the food that matters most is of the liquid variety

Bit back on topic, OP should have no problem getting any kind of snack (sweet or savoury) in the old town up to 2am-ish based on the last time I visited Prague. Although I would highly recommend to visit other neighbourhoods outside of the old town for better quality and prices. I personally find the old town nowadays WAY too touristy. I was shocked even that the castle hill had queues for metal detectors just to enter the public premises there!

kipper

I agree that the most important food is of the liquid variety.

I have fond memories of the square downtown (District one?) where they had the Christmas market, had some nice food stands. The sausage in baked bread was tasty. Is this the older Hilton across from the subway station? I liked their exec lounge when I stayed 13 years ago.
