Preclík

You'll find carts selling these on nearly every corner of Prague's Old Town, often warmed fresh right in front of you on a small grill.

A soft, chewy pretzel dusted with coarse salt or sometimes cinnamon-sugar, warmed on portable grills by street vendors around Prague's historic squares and tourist routes.

Why it's made this way: It reflects the wider Central European pretzel tradition shared with Bavaria and Austria, and in Prague it's become the easiest walk-and-eat snack for the crowds moving between the castle and the old town.
