'Must dos'
Charles Bridge - 'the most beautiful bridge in the world'
Municipal House - 'don't just go for a concert or an hour in the cafe... The tour of the building is amazing - best value for money...'
The Dancing Building - Frank Gehry & Vlado Milunic's 1996 concrete & glass confection, nick-named 'Fred & Ginger' because it resemblesa pair of male & female dancers...

TV Tower - fantastic view of the city. Enjoy the soviet era fun of the space-race-style building and wonder about the strange giant babies crawling up the side of the tower (?!) (in Zizkov, a residential area to the east of the city. Take a tram from Wenceslas Sq.)
Vysehrad - A small castle at the top of a hill overlooking the city....
Strahovsky monastary - Terrace restaurant/ bar with great views & good food
Museums
Museum of Communism - 'Best place to eye loads of Soviet era tat'
