Driving to Prague this weekend with a couple of other PHers.
Anything we should defiantly see / do and what should we avoid?
Any comments welcome as we are Praha virgins so we only know what the guide book tells us
EDIT - search on ph isnt being usefull today before any cries of repost appear

I have been stopped twice in two weeks here in Germany for simply being an english car so im getting used to it now. It probably doesnt help that its still "stickered up for Lemans" from earlier this year

Lovely quite place that's not well known to tourists I don't think, well we were the only tourists when we went:

U Fleku is near it too, but that's a tourist trap

good beer though and the waiters are fond of giving you free shots.
its the only bar i've been in abroad where the presence of other brits was welcome. fantastic atmosphere when the band get going - traditional accordions etc. but they'll play anything to get people singing and dancing.
there's an amazing cake shop on the street with all the high end shops but can't remember what its called now
Been to Prague twice, most recently on a stag do. We hired a really lush apartment literally on Wenceslas (sp) square, was awesome, ths was on summer and we spent a lot of time onn the rooff terrace with cold beers.
Highlights;
Old town and Charles bridge, really beautiful and worth a look, esp. at night.
A real cafe culture cities, very easy to spend hours at a cafe having a succession of lush beers whilst watching the totty.
I have been to quite a few Eastern european countries and the girls are Prague really are up there, only Krakow, as a city, beats Prague. Its as though every girl is head turningly attractive.
Guns. We went for a mornings shooting out of town, cost us about 100 quid a head but sooo worth it...fired lots of different guns you just wouldn't get a chance to outside the USA. I am into shooting anyway so it was a real highlight...a morning spent shooting an AK47, M16, .44 magnum, Glock pistol etc etc etc is a very cool memory.
Stripclubs, lots of them, at night i found the amount of "touts" on the streets (often black guys) really annoying, they just wont take a hint, being britisha and polite out "no thanks" just didn't work. You have to ignore them and if that doesn't work just spell it out... We did go to a few clubs, most were reallt crap tbh, one stood out above the rest but for the life of me i can't recall its name. Just be careful, if it looks dodgy in the slightest just walk away (glad we did this on a few occasions)
Basicaly enjoy! Pragues a lovely city which is on the cusp of being ruined, i found when i went in winter (itn was December) the atmosphere was far more pleasent than in the summer.

Me and my OH went in December (07 I think), had a really really memorable time made much better by the fact there wasn't many tourists there 
I went in Dec 06, the Christmas market was really good and the atmosphere was just amazing, it was a real pleasure being there...God knows how many gallons of hot choclate drank whilst sat people watching in the old town....lush. Defo a place to go with somebody special in the winter, esp. Xmas time.
