March 18

  • Bus and subway from airport to city
  • Walk around Old Town Square
  • Catch the Astronomical Clock on the hour
  • Traditional Czech pastry: Trdelnik
    • Get these with Nutella in them!
  • Wenceslas Square

March 19

  • Prague Castle
    • Takes a few hours if you elect to buy tickets and go in but you can also see a lot of the castle grounds without a ticket
    • Great views of the city from here
    • Bit of a climb up and down so be warned!
  • Lennon Wall
    • Busker playing Beatles songs in front of the wall
    • Courtyard behind it is not part of the wall; it’s owned by a segway tour company (I think)
  • Charles Bridge
    • Filled with vendors and caricature artists
    • Crowded but nice walk
  • Opera
    • Nice to look at from outside
  • River
    • Filled with levels, locks, dams, docks, boats – what you’d expect
    • Beautiful at nighttime and worth a glance or two, especially with the castle in the background
  • Palladium
    • Massive shopping mall with food court on top floor but mostly smaller sit down restaurants, not your North American grab food on a tray type set up
    • Open on Sundays, when lots of other things are not!

March 20

  • CafĂ© morning
    • Lots of nice places but Sundays are tough so not all of them are open; the ones that are open are often less friendly to people who want to sit and read/work and are mostly there to feed you a full meal
  • Mucha Museum
    • Small but does give a good sense of who Mucha is and what he did with his art as well as Art Nouveau
    • Worth about 1-1.5 hours, depending on whether you see the movie
    • Unfortunately costs a few dollars to get in and doesn’t feature extravagant quantities of art
