PRAGUE SIGHTS & ATTRACTIONS
- What to See & Do

Prague Castle (Pražský Hrad) is THE top attraction. Also make sure you see Charles Bridge (Karluv Most), the Old Town Square (Stare Mesto) including the famous astronomical clock of the Old Town Hall, Wenceslas Square in the New Town (Nove Mesto), the Jewish Quarter and the National Museum. The Museum of Communism also gives a good historical insight into life in this city under communist rule and is well worth seeing.

For something different, try the Franz Kafka Museum or even the Museum of Medieval Torture Instruments! And don’t forget to have a beer or two...

Prague is a very walkable city and a number of tour companies offer interesting walks around Prague, often meeting in the Old Town Square. Try one, most are good.
