The places from this trip
- Pražský hradEntry to the grounds is free (tickets online for specific areas); the queue moved in 5 min, and the city view from up here is stunning.
- Church of Our Lady before TýnIts Gothic towers dominate Old Town Square — best seen behind the Christmas tree at night.
- Prague Astronomical ClockCome on the hour — the clock chimes and the apostle figurines come out for a short show.
- Aux Merveilleux de FredOn Revoluční 8: handmade meringue merveilleux and cramic brioche (plain 55 CZK, chocolate 105 CZK) — the whole spread with coffee ~$9.
- Gambero RossoAuthentic Italian on Jakubská 4 — burrata and the truffle pasta are excellent, tiramisu had too much amaretto. Book ahead.
- Terasa U PrinceRooftop on Old Town Square with insane views of the clock tower and Týn church from every seat — book ahead.
- Café ChloéOn Senovážné náměstí — a photogenic café she felt she had to visit at least once.
- Výtopna Railway RestaurantFun concept for lunch — drinks and food arrive at the table on a model train running along the tracks.
- Katedrála svatého VítaBreathtaking from every angle; entering the castle grounds is free, tickets for the interior areas online.
- Wenceslas SquareBeer halls overlook the square, but the creator found the burger there really bad — come for a beer, not a meal.
- Havelské tržištěLovely market a short walk from Old Town near Wenceslas Square — fresh fruit cups, food and souvenirs.
- Staroměstské náměstíOne of Europe's most special squares and the best area to sleep in; buildings are breathtaking, busy day and night.
- Head of Franz KafkaCome on the hour to see the mirrored head sculpture rotate; it's right by the Quadrio shopping center.
- PařížskáAn avenue of luxury boutiques (Cartier and co.) lined with ornate Art Nouveau buildings — nice for a stroll.
- Lennonova zeďColorful graffiti wall on Velkopřevorské náměstí with messages in many languages and Beatles lyrics.
- Václavské náměstíMost beautiful at night; the boulevard is also a big shopping strip with Zara, H&M, Foot Locker and Mango.
- Karlův mostStalls, statues and street musicians along it; look for the crucifix statue with Hebrew letters and the castle views both ways.
- Fashion Arena Prague Outlet~150 shops outside the city, 30-40% cheaper than Israel; free shuttle from town, TAX FREE, and a coupon at the visitor center gives 10% extra off.
- KampaSmall man-made island right off Charles Bridge, nicknamed 'Prague's Venice' for its narrow canal and riverside houses.
- NYX Hotel Prague by Leonardo HotelsCentral spot between Wenceslas Square and the Old Town, 500 m walk; nicely designed rooms but a bit small.
- ČertovkaReally looks like Venice, just without the gondolas — quiet photo spot between pastel houses.
- Rudolfinum
- Kostel svatého Mikuláše (Malá Strana)
- Obecní důmHosts the Mucha exhibition; a nice stop while wandering toward Palladium mall.
- PalladiumNot really worth it compared to Fashion Arena — fewer shops and slightly pricier.
- Jindřišská věž
- Národní muzeumStands at the end of Wenceslas Square, beautifully lit at night.
- Kostel svatého Mikuláše (Staré Město)
- Muzeum Bedřicha Smetany
- Zlatá uličkaPaid entry to the little preserved houses — in her opinion not worth the money.
- Museum of IllusionsNice for killing time before a flight, but not worth the money and full of small kids.
