Prague is one of my favourite cities in Europe for many reasons. It has the beauty of a western European capital with the culture to match but with the prices of eastern Europe. There is enough to do for a 3-5 day trip, but you could easily spend longer here, should your heart desire.
Getting to Prague is easy enough by either train or plane, and accommodation is cheap to come by. I stayed at the Old Square Hostel both times I have visited. It is right in the heart of the city, it’s clean and decent enough but not much of a 'bar' atmosphere if that’s what you’re looking for.

Top Spots
Charles Bridge – not just any old bridge. Can’t tell you the history behind the main bridge in the city but during the day you’ll find artists, old men and guitars, show performers and a golden dog which you need to rub for good luck. Always packed full of tourists, but packed for good reason.
Astronomical Clock – you will find crowds gather round this clock in the Old Square every hour. Once I saw a man with a snake there, but that’s a different story. Every hour the clock chimes (shocking) and some kind of figurine comes out of a door in the clock. And every hour there will be a big crowd to watch it happen. See it at least once then move on and avoid the snakes.
