Fascinating place. I've always admired the communist principles although they seems at their base level at odds with man's instincts. And now I know more!

This wonderfully spiky church is pretty imposing and there's so much to see it's incredible. Ornate is the word, with Gothic influences outside and Baroque ones inside. Look out for Tycho Brahe's grave, the altar and two blocked-off windows on the southern wall, where once Franz Kafka looked in as a child from his house!

So much to see, there's other museums inside too which I didn't know, and it's a thoroughly majestic building to boot. Supremely interesting.

This won't exactly take up all of your time, but it's the thing that stuck most in my head from all the great things I saw in Prague on my holiday there. It's a testament to the ideals of peace and love, as well as the power of youth. Fights broke out over it under the communist regime and it's still barely tolerated by the government, with regular painting-over, but the graffiti still comes back.

A tourist favourite- the astronomical clock is incredibly beautiful and ornate clock with moving sculptures and an astronomical calendar. Join the crowds who gather every hour to watch it strike!
