    This square is the heart of Prague's Old Town and definitely a place you'll be if you're visiting the city. The highlight is the Astronomical Clock, which does a little show each hour, although it's almost as fun to watch everyone else watching the clock. There are lots of big sights to see on the square, and we enjoyed spending some time watching it, although we found the restaurants overpriced and ate elsewhere.

    Prague Castle sits up on the hill on the other side of the river from and above the old town. We devoted a morning to visiting it. We arrived right at 8:30 when it opened and were rewarded with a few minutes of uncrowded time, and entry into the St. Vitus Cathedral basically first. After that things got more crowded, but we still enjoyed our visit. We focused on the cathedral and the old royal palace, as well as quick stops to see St. George's Basilica and Golden Lane. You could easily spend a full day here, but we were satisfied with the several hours we enjoyed there.

    We walked across the Charles Bridge multiple times during our stay in Prague. It's a major landmark, and always crowded, but we enjoyed seeing the statues and architecture and the people. There are many statues of saints lining the bridge itself, and views out over the Vltava River and the city. We also paid to climb one of the tower bridges. Either can be climbed, but we chose the western/Lesser Town side since it would have views back over the bridge and the old town. This bridge is a must-see in Prague.

    We timed our arrival to get to Prague Castle as it opened at 8:30 and then were right at the front of the line to enter the cathedral at 9. We loved the opportunity to see this amazing building with almost no crowd. We spent about 30 minutes exploring and seeing its amazing interiors, tombs, and stained glass. Definitely a place you must visit if you're in Prague, and an early entrance will serve you well.

    The astronomical clock, visible on the exterior of the town hall, is impressive now, and must have been even more so when it was built in the 1400's. We gained some insight from reading in our guide book about the various things shown on the clock, and then enjoyed watching the show when it struck the hour. The square in front of the clock gets quite crowded a few minutes before the hour, so come early or prepare to watch it from the sides or the back. Either way, it's a worthwhile use of your time to view and appreciate it.

    We stayed in the Lesser Town since it had better car access than the old town, and we found it comfortable and enjoyable to spend time in. The main Prague Castle is here, as well as other sights. We used public transit to get to and from the old town across the river and found them relatively convenient. This part of the city is an enjoyable one to visit, whether or not you're sleeping here.

    Beautiful synagogue in moorish style. Go upstairs and see another view. It’s part of the Jewish Museum along with other synagogue.

    We visited Petrin Hill and really enjoyed having time to spend mostly outside in nature instead of down in the city. We rode the funicular up and down, which was quite convenient, although it sounds like it has since closed. There are multiple things to do once atop the hill, including the very visible Petrin Tower, which offered great views down over the old town and the Charles Bridge. Our teenagers also enjoyed the nearby mirror maze, and ice cream from a vendor. We thought that Petrin was a great place to spend a couple hours on a summer afternoon.

    I visited the Lobkowicz Palace with my girlfriend last year through the Prague card and we were astonished at the beauty of this site. The palace was built in the mid-16th century at the behest of the Lobkowicz noble family. Over the centuries the family accumulated an impressive collection of decorative arts objects, military and hunting equipment, musical artefacts, and classical paintings. The highlights of the collection are the Hay Harvester by the Flemish painter Pieter Brueghel the Elder and two beautiful views of London by the renowned Italian artist Canaletto. The collection includes numerous portraits of members of the European aristocracy from the Lobkowicz family, as well as their relations, but we didn't spend a lot of time looking at them as we didn't find them that interesting. The interior of the palace is absolutely spectacular and if you're a fan of classical music, it may be worth booking a combined museum and concert ticket for one of the classical concerts that take place in the Baroque concert hall in the early afternoon on a daily basis.

    The palace is situated in the Prague Castle complex but it's very easy to miss, which would be a shame as it's definitely worth a visit. Make sure you listen to the excellent audio guide and take the opportunity to enjoy a beautiful view of Prague from the palace's terrace.

    It was a fun experience. This modern art object is so cool. Also it’s beautiful how it’s reflect the sky and things around because it’s a silver color. After that you can take a walk and even get to the city center or Charles Bridge.

    When in Prague, browse this church. Steeped in history and many interesting relics, artworks to view. Limited parking then a walk up the hill, though could be steep for older people.

    We found this memorial overwhelming and now appreciate how much the Czech people gave up to assasinate Heydrich and to make a stand against the Nazis. We owe them alot. This should be definitely in the top 10 of places to visit in Prague if you are interested in history. The staff were very polite and happy to answer any questionsthat we had.

    Yes, the HradÄŤany district is home to Prague Castle, one of the largest enclosed palace complexes in the world and most people come to this district of Prague for that. But you really should plan to explore the rest of the Hradcany district as part of your trip.
    The gardens surrounding the castle and the winding streets of Hradčany are great for exploring on foot and there are so many hidden gems, such as the little street Nový Svět with houses from the 17th century. I would start with Hradčanské square which consists of a number of historical houses and palaces, such as The Schwarzenberg Palace, with its National Gallery’s collection of Baroque art and The Archbishops Palace. The Square is connected to the castle courtyard and the western entrance gate to Prague Castleand on the south side there is a terrace with spectacular views of the city.
    From Hradčanské Square take the main road and pass Loretto Church and Černínský palác gradually rising to Strahov, and the unmissable Strahov Monastery (good for its architecture but with the advantage of beers from the Monastery Brewery).
    Then you can get the 22 Tram back to the Old Town or head downwards into Lesser Town, another excellent area of Prague worth exploring.

    Perhaps the most imposing structure in Prague's Old Town, Tyn is easy to spot, yet tricky to find the entrance for. But that adds to the charm, it's like a secret passage. Tyn stands out, like it's keeping an eye over the Old Town. A Gothic church with plenty of aesthetic character. I found my way inside and was struck by how lovely it is. Definitely take your time admiring the pieces and the atmosphere itself, everything within is worth your consideration. There is no entrance fee, but a small donation is requested, which I always provide. You can also buy post cards with professionally done photos of some aspects of the church. They are inexpensive and during my experience, they relied on the honor system.
