What to do and see in Nove Mesto (New Town), Bohemia: The Best Sights & Landmarks
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.

5.0 based on 1,001 reviews
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.

Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 3,729 reviews
The eleven-metre-high statue is a 21st-century technical marvel of Prague. Forty-two moving panels form the face of the great Czech writer Franz Kafka. The statue by David Cerny stands at the Quadrio shopping centre and combines art with modern technologies and the traditional "golden hands" of Czech craftsmen. Watch the Metamorphosis, wait for the right alignment of the panels and discover Kafka!

Just off the hustle and bustle of Wenceslas Square, is the Franciscan Garden with nice trees and green grassy areas. It’s a charming garden where you can sit amidst the greenery and enjoy the scenery. There is an excellent view from here of the Church of Our Lady of the Snows, which is located around the corner from here. You can best appreciate how high the vaults (112 feet) of this church are from the garden – quite impressive.

I have always loved the Christmas tune so when planning to visit Prague I was happy to find out Good King Wenceslas was real and he had several prominent statues dedicated to him, including the one in Wenceslas Square. It is not uncommon in real estate to used art and architectural features to draw foot traffic to your space. This may be one of the more novel ways to do that, so I had to see this. I was very impressed as it is a fun play on the glorious statue on the road in front of the building. Actually the detail in the arcade is impressive and I sure has drawn people into this building for nearly 100 years. Again, I really like this and I think if you take the time to find it you too will be pleased and rewarded for your travel efforts.
