Anyone who's a fan of turn-of-the-century Beaux Arts architecture, design, and decor cannot miss this monument to Czech Art Nouveau. The tour is very much worth it. The highlight is the room covered with works by the great graphics artist Mucha, followed by the mammoth Smetana concert hall with its beautiful dome and sculptures. I couldn't stop taking pictures. Exquisite... more

This is a wonderful place to see and visit--it is classic art nouveau inside and out and has a number of beautiful restaurants and cafes. Also in the area are other examples of Czech buildings from different periods. more

When I first was in Prague 30 years ago, the Municipal House was a neglected relic of an architectural style that had fallen into disrepute. The rediscovery of the glories of art nouveau have turned this magnificent building into a must-see for tourists.

I am by no means an architecture expert, but even I can appreciate the unique art noveau style of the Municipal House in Prague. It is a very unique and pretty building that is a wonderful contrast with the gothic and baroque architecture in old town. We did not have time to take a tour (which allows you to see... more

The Obecni Dum is absolutely beautiful and the tour, although brief allows you to see some of the gorgeous rooms. We had a drink in the American bar in the basement, which I thoroughly recommend - it is a gem of art nouveau and the drinks are reasonably priced. It is terribly under-used - people seem to pop in, look... more

Next day went back for another meal and the service was fantastic, every body was polite and friendly, music from saxophonist & pianist. Yes 4 English guys who wanted to see Prague... more
