Off to Prague - Tomorrow
Discussion
Take the 'train' up to Petrin, and wander around that park - I thought it was ace.
The dancing house is great to see, and I believe there's a café/bar at the top which gives good views over the water.
Drink beer, obviously - they do two good beers there - Pilsner Urquell and Kozel. My personal favourite was the dark Kozel, which is better suited to this time of year.
Other than that, the normal touristy stuff.

Never been before and decided to have a weekend there a few days ago so we're off there tomorrow.
Any must sees, must drink, must eats, etc. please?
Get a public transport pass, lets you use the bus, the metro and the trams. Castle, definitely. Use the Trip Advisor "restaurants near me" feature for food on the go. Buy a Russian hat Any must sees, must drink, must eats, etc. please?

Awesome stuff I was there in November. I did a Segway tour from outside the Intercontinental hotel (not the guys in the main squares). Was well run and a good way to see the City.
I think it was this place:-

ETA I think they used to throw Germans from the castle, you might want to be a bit careful...

aka the Fred n Ginger building - lovely restaurant on the 7th floor, one of the best meals I've had anywhere (this was about 10 years ago), got chatting to the French guy running the place and he took us outside onto the roof proper as Nike had some promo going on with lasers lighting up the city, great views!http://ginger-fred-restaurant.cz/en/

WW, we're not going near the castle because they throw German people off it, even though I am not German, I could easily be mistaken for one based on my cleanliness, order, and efficiency.
No, I don't know what I'm talking about either.
Also I'd recommend here - very traditional Czech food, and I loved it.

If you are thinking about doing a tour of the city or any parts of the city such as the Castle, Old Town Square, Charles Bridge (a must see IMHO), Jewish Quarter etc get a guide.
They tell you more about the the history of the city (fascinating stuff BTW) and give you much more insight.
We were there in September and the hotel referred us to this guy: Marek Lopko, grandgourmet@email.cz Tel +420 739 455 322 he was utterly brilliant. A bit off the wall, funny, and as long as you don't mind him swearing he'll entertain you for a good few hours.
Oh, he also owns a bar too and has a fine selection of wines.
I have no affiliation to him at all. He just made our tour of Prague very memorable. Enjoy your break.
