Fodor's Travel Talk Forums - itinerary help for Budapest,Prague,Munich

I don't feel too qualified to give an answer here since I've only been to each city twice...and it was on the cheap, but here goes...

Prague:
There's a great little restaraunt called, I think, the Architects Cafe (or something similar - has Architechts' in the name). It's got wonderful food and it's in a basement/cellar with really interesting masonry work/arches/etc.
The Jewish Quarter is really moving. The graveyard and the museum got to me.
The Charles Bridge has got some aesthetic energy to it - on the far side of the bridge is an old man that paints self-portraits. They're inexpensive and terrible art, but I had to buy one after a long conversation with him. When you see the castle/palace, be sure do do it walking - from the main are of downtown across the Charles bridge and then up the hill. Around the castle there are several very interesting, well-designed gardens that are worth seeing. I don't know much about landscape architecture, but I was really taken by one especially (although I cannot remember the name). Another thing that I really enjoyed about Prague was eating family-style in some basement with a bunch of blue-collar laborers and their families. I cannot remember where, though, and could not tell you how to set up something like that. Driving in Prague is kind of sketchy and time consuming.

Budapest:
The flea market is pretty impressive. If I recall correctly, it's only one or two days a week though. The church up on the hill - I cannot remember if it's Buda or Pest - is somewhat small, but aesthetically it's one of my favorites. Both times I was there, I was able to hear wonderful baroque music performed by choirs (in the evening). There's also an interesting printing operation in a basement of the big wall near the church. They make paper the old-fashioned way and seeing that was worthwhile for me.

Sorry that this is neither very detailed nor specific. Just kinda felt bad that no one had responded yet...
