Male Namesti is a cute triangular square located just off the Old Town Square. There is a mix of Gothic houses and Renaissance 'sgraffito' facades to see here.
The square is surrounded by shops, bars and restaurants. In the centre there are tables were you can relax with a beer or a snack and do some serious people watching.
Another interesting thing to see is the ornate wrought-iron well/fountain in the centre of the square, which double as a plague memorial.
You may also notice a few shiny convertible cars parked in the square. These are used for sightseeing tours around the city. I must admit I was tempted to go for a tour in the little red Skoda (see extra photos)! Leave a Comment Address: Just off the Old Town SquareDirections: Nearest metro: Staromestska

Golden Ring House (Dum U Zlateho prstenu) is mediaeval town house located by Church of Our Lady before Tyn (Kostel Matky Bozi Pred Tynem). At the turn of the 16th and 17th centuries a major modification of the whole structure was undertaken including the frontage with golden ring house sign.
Permanent exhibition in Golden Ring House presents Czech Art of the 20th Century (works of Jiri Kolar, Jaroslav Rona, Karel Teige, Jan Zrzavy, Karel Malich… can be seen). The exhibitions of The contemporary Czech art are taking place in the basement rooms.

 Old Town Square from Celetna by bpwillet
This used to be just an market place when the castle walls extended just to the river banks. It was given city status and was eventually joined with the Little Quarter as one city in the 1700's. This has also been the location of many architectural improvements as well as political assassinations. Leave a Comment Directions: The square is bordered by Celetna, Dlouha, and Zelezna Streets

I was interested in popping in to this museum for around half an hour just to see what it was like. I actually stayed much longer and I considered it to be a very well presented museum on how life was like in Prague under the Communists. It doesn't remember them fondly!
There are mock ups of shops and buildings under the communists, several movies showing brutality, and a whole range of communist kitsch including some that can be bought at the gift shop. There is also a good explanation of what was on top of Petrin hill before the Metronome was built (i.e. a big statue of Stalin).
Definitely recommended if you have a spare hour or two. The museum can be a little hard to find as you have to go upstairs to find the entrance. Leave a Comment

With name like this, you half expect to hear James Brown playing as you walk in to buy your ticket. Well no, it isn't quite like that. I believe this museum to be pretty new.
Inside, well what do you expect, downstairs there's a room where they play one of the oldest known "erotic films" believed to be in existence. Apparently it was filmed at the bequest of the King of Spain (at the time). It doesn't hold back in what it shows. Upstairs there are the "machines" in the title, ranging from the old-fashioned, pre-batteries days to more modern times. Some of the things in there are comical, others bizarre, and others not so pleasant, so I leave it to you to decide whether you want to visit.
I include a variety of pictures, starting with a safe one, the most humorous one is probably the "erotic see-saw". Anyhow, you may not wish to look. Leave a Comment
