Top 10 Things to do in Nove Mesto (New Town), Bohemia
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.

This museum tells the story of brave Czech paratroopers who killed SS-Obergrupenführer Reinhard Heydrich in the Operation Anthropoid. Jan Kubiš and Josef Gabčík escaped to this church and the crypt under the church together with five more paratroopers and 20 days later they died here in battle against 700 Nazi soldiers.

This museum is a remembrance and memorial to the Czech resistance paratroopers, who during WWII, took part in a secret undercover plan to assassinate Hitler's favorite General, Reinhard Heydrich, head of the dreaded SS. These men, I believe there were seven, infiltrated behind the lines back into Prague where they hid out in the basement Crypt of the St Cyril Church. Eventually most most died during a ferocious fire-fight with the German army but they were responsible for Heydrich's death, and it's all a very interesting historical account of a little known event during WWII.

I recently got the chance to visit NaFilM again in its new and improved location near the Franciscan gardens in the centre of Prague. Really, it is incredible to see what they have been able to do - the place is massive (about double the size of the old location, over 2 floors) and filled with unique, interactive exhibits designed to teach you about film. Moreover, it is suitable for both children and adults - it is an absolute must visit if you are in Prague. The museum have extended its offerings considerably, with new things to play with and discover! I especially enjoyed the sound editing studio - set up as a real enclosed room within the museum, you can record your own soundtracks to a variety of films using purpose built instruments - its a lot of fun to explore different ways the make the sound effects! There is also the new 'Purkyne's Laboratory', where you get to explore the various optical illusions studied by Czech scientist Jan Purkyne through a set of spinning discs and a phone call with Mr Purkyne himself! What's more, once you have been introduced to the concepts, you can then play with the discs yourself, creating your own illusions, which is really cool. There are also two small cinemas where you can see some Czech short films that you would never get to see anywhere else - a mix of quirky animated films and expressive black and white films from the avant garde era. The entire exhibition is in English and in Czech, with very friendly people speaking English as well. Can't wait to see what they add next!

We went as a couple of adults and had a great time - admiring the artistry and hard work to build these huge lego models. Some of them are interactive too and they're fun to play around with. Brings out the inner child! A tad expensive but good fun for an hour or so.

Gallery of Steel Figures is an interactive and original exhibition in the centre of Prague. Our steel figures are inspired by characters from cartoons, sci-fi, fantasy, fairytales, pop culture as well as animals and hits from the automotive world. You can touch, climb in and sit on all the figurines and of course, take pictures with your favourite superheroes or childhood friends. And the good part is, all exhibits are made from recycled steel parts! Which means, we managed to make scrap and metal waste into art! We exhibit over 100 figures on 1200 m² and two floors in a beautiful art noveau building in the historical centre of Prague. If you get tired, you can rest at our café on the 1st floor and have a cup of coffee, homemade lemonade or a delicious fresh pizza. We also offer a large selection of original souvenirs for you to bring back home. We hope to welcome you soon!

This is a really fun, hands-on gallery of life sized metal sculptures including cars, bikes, movie and cartoon characters. They let you sit and climb and pose with everything including the Iron Throne and Thor’s hammer. This is definitely the most fun I’ve had in a gallery maybe ever. I’d imagine kids would love this.
