All of Prague is incredible. I think it might still be the only place you can legally get genuine absinthe. Had some at Radost Cafe FX. Much of the film Amadeus was filmed in the area of town called Mala Strana. Definitely leave time to walk down Nerudova and hang out on the Charles Bridge. There was a bad flood since I was there but I think everything came through okay. If I remember anything specific I'll post it. definitely do a guided walking tour as there are lots of architectural elements and Socialist era art you might miss on your own. The subway system is or at least was a lot more attractive than any in the US,although I used to get lost in it. They also have trams and bus service. Of course check out the obvious tourist stuff like the Castle, Tyn Church and Kafka's house. If you're a fan of his you'll have a new appreciation of the term "Kafkaesque"..the place is a maze.
