Prague Top 10?
What are your top 10 favorite things to see and do in Prague? DH and I are considering a visit this fall and beginning our research. We love to hear what Fodorites recommend and hope you will take time to share.

I loved the view of the Old Town, especially towers of the Church of Our Lady Before Tyn, from the Old Town Square Clock Tower.
I also really enjoyed the castle complex, especially St. Vitus Cathedral. I have been fortunate enough to visit many of the famous cathedrals of Europe, and this was one of my favorites. Perhaps it was the early afternoon light flooding through the stained glass windows and painting the walls with patterns of vibrant color.

My favorites:
1. Vyshrehrad, up on a hill overlooking Vlatava River, birthplace of Prague, & not as crowded as rest of Prague. Sts. Peter & Paul Cathedral & the beautiful National Cemetery are located here.
2. Drinking hot mulled wine that is sold directly from the restaurants windows. Delicious & hits the spot in the fall.
3. Walking across Charles Bridge at night.
4. Castle complex
5. Old Town Square
6. Mucha Museum
7. Communism Museum
8. Drinking Becherovka & a drink called "story".
9. Sitting at the sidewalks cafes & people watching.
10. Jewish cemetery & synagogues
11. Night at the Opera
12. Mozart Puppet Show.
