Must See

Charles Bridge Following the procession route of Bohemian kings, this focal point of Prague is vibrant day or night, bustling with entertainers, locals and tourists. Lined with statues, it is said that if you rub one in particular you will return to Prague.
Prague Castle Possibly the largest ancient castle complex in the world, it is dominated by the huge Gothic façade of St Vitus Cathedral, famous for its stained glass. Containing churches, monasteries, museums and art galleries, it is Prague’s cultural centre, and the impressive Castle Gardens are not to be missed.
Old Town Square Studded with Baroque, Gothic and Romanesque architecture, it is surrounded by a maze of narrow streets filled with jewellery shops and cafes.
Wenceslas Square The Czech Champs- Elysees, Prague’s busiest shopping plaza is also dominated at the top end by the National Museum.
National Museum A bastion of Czech history and prehistory all under one roof.
The Old Town Hall Attracting all the attention, the famous Astronomical Clock comes alive every hour when figures of Christ and the 12 apostles emerge and the skeleton of Death tolls a bell.
Jewish Quarter Although containing some of Prague’s most impressive art nouveau buildings and designer shops, this is also a spot for quiet reflection amongst the five synagogues and the Jewish cemetery’s jumble of gravestones.

Must Do

Stroll around Mala Strana on the left bank of the Vltava River and just below the castle complex. With its Baroque buildings, cobbled streets, embassies and exclusive hotels, this is an atmospheric and serene area of the city.
Spend happy days on the trail of Franz Kafka, Prague’s favourite author. Tracing his old haunts is not just for literary fans, it is a great excuse to explore the cobbled streets of the Old Town. Find picturesque Golden Lane for his former house.
Climb Petrin Hill by foot, or by its funicular railway. This 318m hill with eight parks is accessed from the Mala Strana district and topped by a 62m version of the Eiffel Tower where you are rewarded with fabulous city views.
If you have the time, try to leave Prague and experience the charms of South and West Bohemia. Day tours can be arranged to the spa town of Karlovy Vary, famous for its hot springs and spa treatments and as the location for the recent film ‘Casino Royale’. Further south is Cesky Krumlov, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for the fine architecture in the historic Old Town.

Food and Drink
Eating out is a relatively cheap and easy affair with an endless array of candlelit restaurants and lively bars. Local dishes are predominantly meat-based, accompanied by dumplings, potatoes or sauerkraut, and are dressed in rich sauces. Other specialities include Prague ham served with whipped cream and horseradish, and renowned Czech game dishes. Make sure you sample Czech beer too, it’s excellent.
Shopping
Wenceslas Square is a bustling thoroughfare with an affluence of modern stores that are both fashionable and chic. If you wander along the historic streets from the Powder Tower to the castle you’ll find all manner of interesting wares. There are countless shops selling Bohemian crystal and glassware, and Czech garnet and amber jewellery are also some of the best buys in Prague.
