  • Morning

    Start your day with breakfast at Break Café , then head to Wenceslas Square to begin the day’s sightseeing. A quick peep inside the National Museum will probably suffice unless it’s raining or you’re a big fan of natural history. From there, proceed to St Wenceslas’s statue and the monument to Communism’s victims, where you can pay tribute to the nation’s growing pains.

    Get in a bit of retail therapy along the square as you walk up to Můstek, then visit the Museum of Communism , ironically located above McDonald’s and a casino.

    Take the metro to Národnítřída, and linger over a book or newspaper at the Globe for a leisurely lunch.

    Afternoon

    After lunch, head up to the National Theatre and then follow the Vltava’s Right Bank upstream to Jiráskovo náměstí. Modern-art buffs should take in Galerie Mánes on the way. Follow Resslova up the hill to the Church of Sts Cyril and Methodius and its monument to Czechoslovak resistance fighters.

    In the evening, take in a performance at the National Theatre– Vas-y Vas-y is the obvious choice for dinner, before or after. If you still have the energy, head to Radost to dance the night away or to U Havrana for a local, smoky atmosphere.
