Gorgeous house and gardens with an amazing art collection. The largest foreign collection of Russian art is augmented with art and antique objects collected from around Europe. Totally elegant, a lovely way to spend your day.

Small but really fascinating, it was actually my son's favourite place to go, he's obsessed with greek mythology at the moment so the pediment with Medusa on was right up his street!

With Prague all but cleared of Communist paraphernalia it's really interesting to go here and really see how all-pervading the regime was. Nothing can give you a real idea of what it was like to live under such rule but the whole place was so educational and informative.

A wonderful musuem with artefacts dating all the way back to the Neolithic age, although I have to say that the statues of the greek gods were my favourite bit.
