Old Town Square- located in the heart of Prague, the Old Town Square has year-round markets and is the start of most tours. It is gorgeous in all times of the day but at night it is simply spectacular.

Astronomical Clock- Easily the most overrated attraction in all of Europe, however, it is worth a look. The story behind the clock is more impressive. The clock itself is beautiful and interesting but braving the crowds for a two-minute bell may not be worth it.

Church Before our Lady Tyn- The main attraction in the Old Town Square, this church is one of the only churches that has a building sitting in front of it. It can be difficult to get to. Looking at the church take the road to the left and then cut through the music shop to the right and you will find yourself in the front court yard. Or you can cut through the restaurants through a small passageway to the church entrance. The inside is breathtaking and only costs a donation to get in. They recommend 1 Euro or 25 CZK.

St. Nicholas Hussite Church- Prague is dotted with different types of churches all over the city. This Hussite church is proof that a religion that had been brutalized throughout the course of the Bohemian empire is still strong despite the efforts to be suppressed.

Jewish Quarter- Throughout history, Jews were only allowed to live in designated areas in certain cities, Prague was no exception. Due to the harsh living conditions, rampant disease, and regular flooding, the government decided to renovate, raising the ground and allowing anyone to move in and out. Being unable to afford to move, most Jews remained and crime set in. During World War II thousands of Jewish ghettos were destroyed but Hitler, being a lover of the city of Prague, had a different plan for this particular sector. He ordered the Jewish Quarter be untouched and unharmed to eventually bring all of the Jewish artifacts collected throughout the war back to be turned into a walking museum of an extinct race.

Old New Synagogue- The oldest active synagogue in Europe and the supposed home of the Golem, protector of the Jews, who was put to rest hundreds of years ago only to rise if the Jewish people needed saving once more.

Jewish Cemetery- The inspiration behind the Jewish Memorial in Berlin and a very moving experience. Over the course of 300 years the Jewish people were forced to live in a small section of Prague, this was no exception for their dead as well. When their cemetery filled, the people went to the government asking for more land and in turn received more dirt. Layers and layers of dirt were added, estimated over 100,000 people buried in 10,000 sq. meters.

Church of St. James- The Church of St. James is considered to be the most haunted church in all of Prague. Hanging just above the doorway is a human arm that is said to be the arm of a thief who tried to steal the gold necklace of the Virgin Mary statue. It is said that the statue held the thief by the arm throughout the night, when the priest arrived in the morning he found the thief suspended in the air being held by the statue. The priest went to get the local butcher with his sharpest knife and sliced the arm of the thief clean off. The arm was suspended above the doorway as a message to future thieves. The arm has been tested and came back positive for human flesh. 

National Theater- The National Theater is the last place Mozart conducted an orchestra. Today it is home to some of the most spectacular performances at a very affordable cost. Shows range from 200-400 CZK.

New Town Square- Prague was once surrounded by a wall with multiple gates. The New Town Square is the site of one of three standing old gates to the city.

Prague Castle District- The Prague Castle is almost its own city. Getting lost in the district is easy but enjoyable. There are hundreds of shops as well as a gorgeous cathedral, a changing of the guards ceremony, and excellent restaurants. The castle was unlit until the 1970’s when the Rolling Stones, friends of the president at the time, decided the castle was too beautiful to be unlit. After their Prague concert, the Stones left behind their world-renowned lighting technician to light the castle. It is absolutely beautiful to see at night.

John Lennon Wall- Not a huge attraction but an interesting site to see. What started as a normal wall, it became a place for people to come and write their grievances in graffiti. It got is name from a portrait of John Lennon that was painted in the middle of the wall and pieces of lyrics from Beatles songs.

Charles Bridge- The first bridge between the castle and the city of Prague designed by Charles IV and a major photo opportunity. The old towers of the city gates still stand along with multiple statues. The bridge can be crowded so get their early if you want to take a lot of pictures.

Petřín- A mini Eiffel tower. This cell tower was inspired by Paris’s famous Eiffel tower and provides an amazing view of the city. If you do not want to pay to climb to the top, the hike up to the hilltop provides an excellent, and free, view of the city and castle.

Prague Zoo- 150 CZK for students and 200 CZK for adults and is a great place to spend the entire day.
