Recommendations for Prague in 36 Hours?
 

I'll be in Prague with two friends in mid-August and we're looking for recommendations, so we're making the best use of our time! We're set to arrive Friday morning and depart Sunday afternoon, so we're a bit pressed for time.

That said, we're up to the challenge. We're all in our mid-20s and expect to walk everywhere. Our accommodations are a 10 minute walk from the Charles Bridge, so it's quite central.

Aside from Prague Castle, Old Town Square and the Jewish Quarter....what would you recommend? Is there anything we should look into buying that's unique or authentic to Prague? A friend of mine raved about their art nouveau, but I've yet to explore that further. Are there local bazaars or street markets?

We're looking for restaurant and nightlife recommendations too. Thanks!

Hopefully your friend mentioned the Mucha Museum. I think it's some of the best Art Nouveau artwork ever. The museum isn't that big, but it's jaw droppingly cool.

if Art Nouveau is your thing then in addition to Muchs visit the Municiple House.

you can do a tour of this place and the bars and resturants inside are pretty good,not the cheapest place in the city to eat and drink but worth it imn my opinion.
