Do & See

The Czech capital is small and compact, home to some of the world's finest beers, with traditional Czech beer houses, or 'hospody', stationed on every street corner. Beyond the beer, Prague's heart lies in its central districts: Staré Město (Old Town), Josefov, Nové Město (New Town), and Malá Strana (Lesser Town). These are best explored on foot.
Lennon Wall

Lennon Wall

Shortly after the assassination of singer John Lennon in 1980, this stone wall, located across from the French embassy, was converted into an impromptu memorial with a painting of the singer's face, candles, and song lyrics from The Beatles. Soon, political graffiti criticising the totalitarian regime began to appear. Despite the authorities' countless attempts to whitewash the wall, they never truly managed to keep it clean for long. Today, the Lennon Wall is an endless tribute to the freedom movement. It has lots of graffiti, drawings, and messages, and anyone who comes here is free to leave their contribution. This is also a great spot for photos.

The National Technical Museum showcases over a century of technological innovation. Established in 1908, it offers 26 permanent and temporary exhibitions spanning various technical fields, sciences and industries. The museum's extensive collections, interactive educational programs, and research activities make it a treasure trove for those interested in the history of technology. One of the many significant exhibits at the museum is the aircraft flown by Czech aviator Jan Kašpar. He executed a 92-minute, 121-kilometre flight in this very aircraft in 1911.
