Five things to see/do in Prague: Take a stroll through the Old Town Square (Staromestske Namesti), and check out the famous Astronomical Clock. The square is full of restaurants and cafes, although most are rather touristy and somewhat overpriced.
The Charles Bridge (Karluv Most) is one of the most famous bridges in Europe. In the summer it is often packed with tourists, musicians, street performers, and artists.
Perched on a hillside on the left bank of the Vltava River, the Hradcany (Castle Complex) is mostly free to walk around, with admission charged for galleries and special exhibits. Several locations within the complex offer amazing panoramic views of the city.
In the Hradcany complex, explore the beautiful interiors of the St. Vitus Cathedral (Chram Svateho Vita) either on your own or with a guided tour. The Strahov Monastery is also worth a visit.
Prague offers a wealth of interesting museums. Two interesting ones are the Franz Kafka Museum, devoted to the famous Prague resident, and the Museum of Communism, which outlines the events of the not-too-distant past.
