'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...

Views

U Prince - Hotel on Old Town Square, across from the astrological clock. Go in the back & take the elevator up to the top, and from there take the stairs up. You'll be rewarded with a restaurant/ cafe on the roof, sporting probably the best view of Prague.

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

The Kafka Museum

Kampa museum

Museum of Communism - 'Best place to eye loads of Soviet era tat'

The people's technical museum

Culture

See Don Giovanni at the Estates Theatre - The building is a gorgeous confection both inside & out. The performances are great, and where better to see Don Giovanni than in the very theatre where it had its 1787 world premier...

Out of town

All Saint's chapel, Ossuary (Bone church) - Countless bones are fashioned into works of art, including a chanelier which comprises of every bone in the human body!
