    St. Vitus cathedral is stunning. The entire structure is so well preserved and maintained. It is spacious as are many cathedrals but this is cavernous. Frescoes, paintings and statuary are very detailed and awe inspiring. We were very glad we got to visit.

    The wife and I loved the synagogue. It is like nothing else in the city, full of colour and peaceful. The colours and shapes are awe inspiring, and for only ÂŁ5 per person it is a MUST for anyone visiting Prague. Staff were also super friendly and informative.

    Pilgrimage site located in the Castle District of Prague (Hradcany). The facade features beautiful baroque architecture, and the clock tower is known for its carillon that plays regularly throughout the day. Inside it is very peaceful and there is a chapel and a museum in the cloisters. However, the reason this is a pilgrim site is the presence of the biggest and most famous copy of Santa Casa. The Sata Casa is the place in Nazareth where the Archangel Gabriel announced to the Virgin Mary that she would give birth to Jesus. It is also where the Holy Family stayed after their return from Egypt and Mary lived there years afterward. It is said that angels miraculously brought the Santa Casa to the small town of Loreto in Italy in 1295. It was actually an Italian family named "Angeli" who arranged to move the house piece by piece to Italy. I'm not sure what the allure of seeing a copy of this holy site is but if you're into that sort of thing then this would be a special place to visit. However, I would suggest Loreto Praha should be on your B list of things to experience while in Prague, but certainly worth seeing if you are near the Castle District and you have extra time. It costs 210 CZK to enter but an extra 100 CZK if you want to take photos of the Santa Casa. Tram 22 from Mala Strana or even from New Town near Wenceslas Square is an excellent way to get up to the Castle District.

    A very moving experience in an old synagogue, completely covered in close to 80,000 names of Czech Holocaust victims.

    On the top floor a haunting exhibition of children's drawings from the Terezin concentration camp.

    From the synagogue you go out into the Old Jewish cemetery,where some of the most illustrious rabbis are buried, including the Maharal - one of the greatest Jewish thinkers and the Kli Yakar who wrote a commentary on the Torah studied to this day.

    The Jewish tradition believes that when you pray at a burial place of a great person s/he intercedes for your prayers.

    Visited here as part of our tour (self guided) of the Prague Castle complex. Unassuming facade outside, small but beautiful inside.

    Located just east of Old Town Square and found after wandering through the Tyn Courtyard, this beautiful church dating back to the 13th century was rebuilt in 1689. Although the exterior is unimpressive, the baroque interior is beautiful. It is free to enter. Although open from 9am-4pm, it does close to visitors from noon-2pm. I was fortunate to stop in when the impressive organ dating back to 1705 was being played.

    Beautiful church located at Krizovnicke Square after crossing over the Charles Bridge into Old Town. The sight of this church and the Church of St Salvator also at the square makes for a stunning scene especially when illuminated at night. St Francis of Assisi Church was built in 1688 and features beautiful baroque architecture. It is famous for its organ concerts.

    It is the oldest synagogue in Europe, but is still active. It is beautiful inside and well preserved. However, it is not intricate and large.

    A short tram ride out of the beautiful city of Prague brings you to the fabulous Brevnovsky Klaster,a wonderful monastery that's both historic and beautiful.

    One of the most attractive historical building in the Betlemske Namesti. Full of history, it worth a visit even just to see where Jan Hus were preacher. There is a small fee for the entrance, 60 CZK for adults and 30 for students, but still worth.

    Up,out and about on a beautiful sunny morning my twin brother and I jumped the tram down to Namesti Miru and jumping of the tram the first major structure you see is Temple Of Czech Princess St Lyudmila .
    This beautiful twin spired church is a landmark of the Vinohrady neighbourhood standing in pretty gardens, its such a photogenic church that most definitely should be viewed if you're in the area and easy to locate on Namesti Miru.

    I learned an enormous amount through the detailed explanations of the frescos. The physical site is expansive and impressive, the feeling is very somber. If you are interested in Christian history, art and architecture, you will find this place of interest.

    As I've written in other reviews of the synagogues of the Jewish quarter, they are all must see places because the information and history offered is different for each one. The Klausen synagogue displays items and history of the Jewish faith that I have never seen in person before. All the synagogues and the cemetery are "must see" locations in Prague.
