A Guide To Prague, By Exchange Students
After falling in love with one of the most magical, beautiful, exciting, surprising and fairy tale cities in the world, I've recorded some of the best bits and pieces from the perspective of us foreign students who experienced Prague both as locals and tourists. There are a few lists that encapsulate the unique needs of exchange students but mostly I hope this guide can exemplify what Prague has to offer and provide honest recommendations to anyone planning a trip to the city of beer, spires and much more.
There is already an endless amount of Guides to Prague and this one does not purport to be the best but simply acts to memorialise our otherworldly, and often very hungover semester.

The National Museum at the top of Wenceslas Square. The general consensus is that the building is more impressive than the exhibits it contains.
Art galleries
All National Gallery of Prague sites are free for under 26-year olds. Here are the best: Salm Palace, the exhibitions in the National Library, Kinsky Palace.
The Modern Art Quarter in Žižkov is also all free.
Mucha/Warhol/Dali on Old Town Square (controversial among exchange students – some enjoyed it, others thought it was a rip off due to being copies of the artworks).
New Town Hall A good mix of historical and contemporary exhibitions.
DOX gallery Exciting and often interactive contemporary art.
Gallery Rudolfinum
There are many places with street art (the Artwall along the river being one) and you can also discover the work of David Černý (a famous and controversial Czech artist) around the city (Kafka's Head, Kampa Island babies that you can also see on the TV Tower, Man Hanging Out near Old Town Square, Saint Wenceslas in the Lucerna Atrium and the Pissing Men in the Franz Kafka Museum courtyard).

NaFILM Museum of movie production and cinematic history.

Museums
MuMo A private, not-for-profit museum so free for all.
Kampa Museum
The Church of the Paratroopers The most emotive history museum in Prague, both a memorial and a museum dedicated to the Paratroopers and the brave citizens who helped them assassinate Nazi General Reinhard Heydrich. This led to the dissolution of the Munich agreement, or the Munich "betrayal" as it is still referred to by some in Czechia.
Museum of Communism A lively and informative guide to Czechia's recent history, if you are spending a while in Prague and have little knowledge of the communist regime – this is an important place to visit.
National Museum in Prague The building is amazing, the exhibitions not so much. A little tip: in winter the building is free of charge 30 mins before the close.

Prague's Café Culture is inescapable and ubiquitous. Cafés open early and close late, serving everything from hearty Czech meals to tapas to simple pastries. Patrons can be found reading, socialising, enjoying a morning coffee or an evening drink, drawing or partaking in book groups. Cafés have always been, and still are where the magic (be it political, literary, supernatural or romantic) happens in Prague.
Best places for hungover brunches
Marthy's Kitchen Every brunch/breakfast option you could imagine.
My Coffee Story
Café Záhorský Always bustling and a variety of options.
Liberica Café A cute café with a great breakfast and iced coffee (essential on a hangover) menu. This is especially good if you are attending class whilst dusty – it's right between the Charles University Law and Arts Facultys.
The Farm (In Bubeneč.)
See also: Best Picnic Sports – a good way to enjoy hungover food by bringing your own and napping in the sun afterwards.

Best FREE tourist activities
Walk through the castle grounds The Cathedral is also free up until the barrier.
Wallenstein Garden
Most of the churches in Prague are free and very beautiful so I'd suggest going into each one you walk by. Favourites: Both the Church of Our Lady Before Týn (the iconic focal point of the Old Town Square) and St Nicholas Church are free to enter, fitting nicely into an exploration of the Old Town Square.

View from Restaurant Bellavista
Best places for a picnic
One of the River Islands (Střelecký, Kampa, Slovanský)
Petřín Park Just below the entrance from the student accommodation where you can see the view is the best spot, watch out for the frogs after sunset!
Letná Park At the top of the stairs, in between the metronome and beer garden.
Vojan Gardens Where peacocks wander freely.
Get off the metro at Jiřího z Poděbrad, grab some fresh produce from the market and have a picnic in the park in front of the absurd brutalist church in the square.

Best beer gardens
Restaurant Bellavista Expensive - but that's why you just go for a beer and the view.
Letná Beer Garden A.K.A heaven: cheap beer, perched on the edge of a hill overlooking most of Prague and big enough for a group of any size. They also serve fries and mozzarella sticks for when you get peckish.
Pristav 18600 Take the ferry from Holesovice which counts as a public transport trip. It feels like the wilderness has grown over this open-air pub where you're served out of a hut and there are little hippie kids running around.

Prague: The City of Towers and Spires
The variety of belltowers, church spires and shapely rooftops is what makes Prague's view; but many also offer excellent views. Here are a few of the best:
Best views
Terasa U Prince Instead of paying to go up the Old Town Hall, take the Hotel U Prince lift to the top and enjoy a drink sitting atop the rooftops of the Old Town with an incredible view of the Old Town Square.
T-Anker Second best rooftop bar – roomier and bit higher up.
Old Town Bridge Tower If you pick one of the Charles Bridge Towers it should be this one on the Old Town side – stunning views of everyone on the bridge, the river and of Lesser Town and the Castle on the hill behind.
Letná Garden Walk along from the metronome to the Beer Garden for the best view of Prague for free. Truly magical.
Vrtba Garden See also: Worth-The-Hype Tourist Spots

Worth-The-Hype Tourist Spots
Vrtba Garden A UNESCO World Heritage Site, it may seem weird to pay to visit a garden but it's worth it for the insanely manicured greenery and views.
Church of Our Lady Victorious The famous Infant of Prague hype – it's free, has interesting exhibitions as well as being a magnificent church that houses contemporary art installations.
Even though they may seem tacky and ubiquitous, the Concerts in Old Churches that have flyers everywhere are actually well worth it. Hearing classical music live in a church is quite an experience (especially if an organ is involved). It's best to compare prices and concerts at www.pragueclassicalconcerts.com.
Old Town Square is as stunning as the crowds suggest and the surrounding free churches (see - Free Tourist Spots) only add to the experience.
Overrated Tourist Spots
The Astronomical Clock is beautiful but the little show it does on the hour, every hour isn't that exciting. It's way more fun to go up the Old Town Hall and watch the anti-climatic reactions of the people watching, you also get an amazing, 360 degree view whilst you're up there.
Petřín Lookout Tower
Charles Bridge Overrated (the statues are fake!), but still a tourist rite-of-passage.
John Lennon Wall

The Metronome – Stalin bar runs free outdoor concerts and events there every other night from May (check their website) so you can enjoy a drink, music and the best view in Prague.
Bukowski's Book in advance; great cocktails and atmosphere.
Dog Bar/Vzorkovna The best bar in Prague, despite the occasionally aggressive door staff. It's a underground venue with various different bars – including a tea room, a stage for buskers, a bathtub to sit in, ceiling beams to hang off, the biggest dog you've seen in your life roaming around, fusbal tables and the freedom to smoke whatever you want inside.

Important memorials
Jan Palach and Mother Memorial A powerful memorial to the student who immolated himself in opposition to the Soviet Occupation of Czechoslovakia and to his grieving mother.
Communism Victims' Memorial I enjoy this one because it's forthright accompanying plaque refuses to sugarcoat the brutal communist regime in Czechoslovakia.
Main Train Station Memorial Incredibly powerful memorial to the parents who sent off their children to the countryside during WW2.
Pinkas Synagogue Memorial
Václav Havel Memorial in the square that bears his name (behind the New National Theatre). You'll find a similar shrine to Havel in every second bar/café you enter – widely renowned as the face of the dissident movement that liberated Czechoslovakia from the Soviets, he is revered as a symbol for truth, freedom and democracy.

Tourist attractions to visit with a rich family member
Jewish Quarter You can buy a ticket for the whole Jewish Quarter for around 500czk which includes five iconic synagogues outlining the history of Jews in Central Europe, as well as contemporary exhibitions, memorials and religious artefacts.
