A great hike up Petrin Hill, followed by a climb to the top of the needle - a miniature Eiffel Tower - yields huge rewards in a panoramic view of Prague.

Another shining symbol of Prague. You cannot go there without seeing it, or witnessing the show at the top of every hour. First installed in 1410, this magical landmark works still to this day.

David Cerny is one of the Czech Republic's most avant garde and controversial artists due to his large public art displays that usually have political and/or social overtones. The large scale 'Guns' exhibit hangs in the Artbanka Museum of Young Art in Prague, near the Charles Bridge. David Cerny is most famous for his communist era stunt that landed him in prison, when he painted a Red Armada Tank in Victory Square pink.

Day or night, it’s easy to get sucked into the Christmas Market in Old Town Square, Staroměstské Naměsti, in Prague. So grab a cup of hot honey wine and stroll through the lively festivities including angelic children’s choir groups and folk dancing troupes; metal-workers showing off their skills making hand-made door bells; and stall after stall of regional street food favorites like Trdelnik, the cuff-shaped fried dough covered in cinnamon sugar; homemade spiral potato chips; and Halušky, the mouth-watering mixture of miniature potato dumplings, cheese, cabbage, and bacon. Keep your eyes peeled and you might just happen upon the jolliest of pork slicers sharing the roast of the day. Pork is definitely the meat of choice and pride here in Prague, so go ahead and indulge.

While walking through the beautiful city of Prague I passed a farmers market and shopped for a bit. However I grew tired of the mounds of people and I yerned for something more peacful I walked down past the tourist information center on the right and vowed to keep walking until the noise from the crowds ceased to exist. That is when I came upon this passageway. It was gorgeous, I could see the marketplace from it but it was far enough to allow me to enjoy a nice lunch while taking in the magnficent surroundings. This felt like I had truly found Prague.

Prague’s Grand Café Orient is the only cubist-designed space of its kind in the world. It occupies the first floor of the House of the Black Madonna, designed in 1911 by modernist architect Josef Gočár. Renovated in 2005, the spacious café retains the original silk-shaded hanging brass lanterns and marble-topped buffet-bar. Diners can enjoy such menu highlights as Prague ham and apple strudel, and then visit the Museum of Czech Cubism upstairs. Ovocný Trh 19, 420/2-24-224-240. Photo by João Canziani. This appeared in the October 2012 issue.

Walk through the beautiful city of Prague and take in the sights while making your way to the river which surrounds the city. Be sure to stop by the Black Light Theater while you await your ferry ride. Once the sun begins to set find the nearest ferry (there are many) and pay the small admission price (around $3). Once upon the boat make your way upstairs to the very top and take in the sights, the castle and churches are the most beautiful when viewed at night as they are lit up by hundreds of lights.

Apparently, this is the largest club in Central Europe. Five floors, different music in different rooms ... We really enjoyed the Oldies room (which I believe this is); definitely worth a night if only to say you've experienced it ;)

I had wanted to visit Prague for many years and was so excited for our trip, but after 3 flights, a bus ride into town, and no sleep, all I wanted to do was check in to our hotel and take a nap. Our hotel, however, had different plans and informed us our room would not be ready for another 3 hours and suggested we grab lunch while we wait. We grudgingly headed out the front door and wandered the winding streets in a haze until we came to the Old Town Square. I couldn't believe how beautiful it was. I felt like I was walking around in a fairy tale. It was the jolt I needed and just the beginning of our exploration of the most beautiful city I've ever seen.

If you look out your window you can probably see the massive castle overlooking the city of prague. Make your way up the stairs to it and you too can view this magnficient city from up above!

After strolling through the Prague Castle complex and seeing the Cathedral and square, the traveler is further rewarded with a beautiful view of the city from a high point. Parts of Lesser Town can be seen among the sea of red-orange rooftops and greenery.

You can't miss it. In my book it's a major symbol of Prague with all the jutted mini-towers. Makes one think of every castle any child has seen in their storybooks.

Prague's permanent market of goods and gifts. I just love those outdoor European markets.

As you enter the Spanish Synagogue sanctuary, in Josefov, Prague, it’s nearly impossible not to let your eyes plant themselves on the immaculately carved and painted dome ceiling for a good few minutes. Take several moments. Soak it in. Built in 1868 on the grounds of Prague’s oldest Jewish house of worship, you can’t help but feel the history within these sacred walls. Thanks to a late 1990’s restoration, the original splendor complete with stunning stained glass windows are now on view after being closed for 20 years. Be sure to visit the exhibit on the second floor prayer hall. The display places this, along with the other Prague synagogues and cemetery within Moravian and Bohemian Jewish history.

Beautiful, kooky old houses like this dotted throughout the city centre really helped Prague live up to my expectations of a fairytale city. Prague was a fascinating contrast of old and new, so it both lived up to my expectations and surprised me

i bought this spectacular painting by jan uldrych from the chemistry gallery in prague, that i came upon by chance as i was walking to the kafka museum.

One of my favorite things to do in a new city, is to find the highest tower there is and go to the top to get a birds eye view. This was from the top of Old Town Hall Tower, which gave a great view of the Old Town Square.

I can't imagine there being a more beautiful city architecturally than Prague. I bought a "tower pass" to climb all the towers of Prague. It may have cost as much as 200 CZK but was well worth it for the exercise and for views like this. The Klementinum tower offers a 360 degree view of the city. Inside the modernized portion of the complex is a concert hall for classical music. I caught the tail end of the International Classic Music Festival and saw the Hungarian Philharmonic for the equivalent of about 18 USD. I highly recommend visiting Prague the last week of May.

I loved the angle with St. Vitus Cathedral in the background and the tram coming down the street. I remember my fiance's family kept worrying I was going to get hit by the tram.

We happened to be in Prague during Easter week, so we were able to see these decorations all around Old Town Square.

I remember coming out of a small street to find this statue, but was impressed that it was made entirely out of keys. It was designed and built by Jili David.

On the side wall of the Loreto stood a small chapel, and inside was this painting known as "the convicted". Part of an old Czech tale I am unable to get more information on.
