The bohemian allure and fairytale features of Prague make it a perfect destination for beach-weary vacationers who want to immerse themselves in culture. You could devote an entire day to exploring Prazsky hrad (Prague Castle), then refueling over a hearty dinner at a classic Czech tavern. Spend some time wandering the Old Town Square before heading over to gape at The Old Town Hall and Astronomical Clock. Prague’s best bars are found in cellars, where historic pubs set the scene for a night of traditional tippling.

A beautiful and under visited part of the National Gallery. A must for anyone with an interest in mediaeval art. It’s fascinating to see the altarpieces of the 14th century which seemed even ahead of the Italians in their ability to depict shape, form and shadow. Many well preserved wooden statues often with remnants of the original coloured paint. There’s woodcuts by Durer and Cranach too Also worth exploring the shell of the nunnery in the area below

The museum will be open from May 4. The KGB museum was founded by the organization Chernyy dozhd is a community of people who are fascinated with the history collected unique items related to the activities of the Soviet Secret Service. The presence of many exhibits is primarily due to anarchy and lack of control over many state museums in the USSR during its division into many independent states, which used to be former Soviet socialist republics. Only due to the Chernyy dozhd organization many priceless exhibits were saved from looting, destruction and recycling. This is the first time in the world memorabilia previously belonging to the first persons of the Soviet Union, the heads of the Cheka-NKVD-GPU-OGPU-MGB-KGB .
This is not a history lesson, so don’t go expecting that, though there is some history involved. Don’t expect straight up seriousness, you won’t find that here. Our host was incredibly passionate about the KGB and his homeland, Russia, and if you’re interested in espionage, weapons or the Cold War, this may be the place for you to visit, just don’t go expecting a really serious talk.

Stará Aerovka is part of The Aviation Museum Kbely. Bomber aircrafts and Aero production are exposed in historic hangars.
If you have an interest in aviation and aviation history in other countries make sure you visit this historical airfield and museum. It is a stones throw from the metro station at Letnany and just a short walk from the larger aviation museum at Kbely.

I toured the Cold War Museum and had the most amazing guide - David! He is extremely knowledgeable about the time period - key politicians, the political climate in (Czechoslovakia) and surrounding countries, and every day life for people living in Prague at that time. I grew up in the US during the 80's and there was always the specter of nuclear war w Russia. I remember stories of high profile people defecting. But-until visiting this museum, I just didn't have a good appreciation for life under the 'cruel star' of communism. The collection is fascinating - I especially loved seeing the spy equipment that was used at the time that enabled 'Big Brother' to listen in on conversations of hotel guests (the bunker was built below the hotel Jalta, as mentioned). Just fascinating! Prague is full of history - and I highly recommend this museum to enrich your visit. Note to David-I found that Amazon has the book "Under a Cruel Star". Also, as we discussed - check out Anne Applebaum - Iron Curtain! Thank you so much for a great tour!!

A really nice small museum covering the history of the Trabant motor car, an iconic Eastern European car from the Soviet era. The museum does not take a too serious approach and contains examples of the car and gives an idea of life in the Soviet era. There are interactive displays will appeal to kids of all ages. The location is between tram stops Postovka and Hotel Golf, on the regular tram routes 9 and 10. Finally good value with a small cafe.

The expositions of the Jewish Museum in Prague are located in four historical synagogues (Maisel Synagogue, Klausen Synagogue with the Ceremonial Hall, Pinkas Synagogue and Spanish Synagogue). The museum tour further includes the Old Jewish Cemetery and Robert Guttmann Gallery. The museum is open daily except Saturdays and other Jewish holidays: 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. (summer time) and 9 a.m. – 4.30 p.m. (winter time). Tickets can be purchased at the museum’s ticket offices, Information and Reservation Centre (Maiselova 15, Prague 1) or in the museum's e-shop.
We got tickets to the Jewish Museum in Prague which included visit to Maisel Synagogue, Pinkas Synagogue, Ceremonial Hall and the Old Jewish Cemetery. The Jewish Quarter was the most impressive as listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site to experience what has been left as part of a tragic world history. A must visit! (Pls take note that the combi ticket does not include the Old New Synagogue)
