Attractions,sites and museums closes around 16.00
by tan1415
This is really important information. Somehow it slipped pass me and the consequences were quite significant.
Take this closing time into account when planning your day.
To maximise your days in Prague. Catch an early start.9/10 am start is good enough.You will have 5/6 hours to see the sights. (Taking into account 1 hour for lunchbreaks and rests).Depending on your endurance this could be alot or too little time. Just take this into account.
After 16.00 the day of course has not ended..but than this is a good time to really wander and explore the city or catch a good rest with a power nap. After 1800 you can go out and see some shows, do some shopping(Most closest at 2000 or even 2200) and of course get some dinner.

If you wander into the Lucerna Pasaz shopping mall you will see this statue of a dead horse hanging upside down, its tongue hanging on, and sitting astride it is supposed to be St Wenceslas. This statue was done by a David Cerny, who apparently has done other strange statues.
Not my idea of art by any means.
The mall has restaurants, bars, cafes, shops and a cinema and is located at 31 Stepanska
Stroke the dog and make a wish!
by Pete_Barnett
When passing over Charles Bridge, it is a local custom to stop at the statue of St. John Nepomuk and make a wish. There are two brass panels beneath the statue, one of which shows a mother and child protected by a soldier (with someone being thrown off the bridge) and the other depicts soldier and his dog. It is custom to make a wish whilst touching the panel for your wish to come true. I will let you know in due course if it works!
Ice Hockey tickets in Prague
by Eugenetheduck
Tickets for home games of HC SLAVIA PRAHA ice hockey team in SAZKA ARENA can be ordered via internet but must be paid for the next day at a Sazka POS in CZ - these are everywhere in Prague, look for a SAZKA sign at tabaks, newsagents, corner stores. Fast food is available inside Sazka..and beer of course.
Remember Jan Palach ....
by Ben-UK
In Wenceslas Square, you will find the small memorial for Jan Palach, who burned himself to death in January, 1969 in protest against the Soviet occupation of Czechoslovakia. The memorial is in the ground near the end of a flower bed, approximately 100 metres from the statue of King Wenceslas.
