We went recently and headed up the tower (can't remember the name of it, but looked like the Eiffel Tower) and used the cable car to get back down. Also visited the castle, saw the astronomical clock and the sex machine museum 
It's a decent place to visit, very cheap at the moment with the strong pound too!

I'm going beginning of April for 3 days on a stag-do. Don't think we'll see much culture mind 
Do you use Euros or their currency?

Think your geography is a bit off mate. That is 460km or 4.5 hours drive! Prague is in Czech Republic yeah, not Poland?!

So fucking cheap out there.
Went there for a 3 day stag do as well... first night was the big club, 5 levels (all shit music lol) best bit is the ice bar in the basement. Second night was the strip club, lesbians licking each other out was pretty good. Third night was pubs by the river with brandy's and cigars, probably my favourite night tbh!

Went with the missus in 2013, awesome place. Don't be too put off by the talk of stag do's, we only saw 1 in a 6 day trip
Ace for beer, if you find some tankovna's they brew it in the pubs and its superb and about £1 a pint. Really superb. They're big on pork out there which is good too. Food away from the main squares is cheaper but tbh food on the old town square didn't seem expensive especially compared to here.
If you're interested in shopping there's Wenceslas square but didn't seem all that great but worth going to say you've been, it's where most of the protesting etc started in the Velvet Revolution. A massive museum at the top, may be open again now but was being refurbed when we were there.
We did all the cultural stuff mostly, castle and Petrin Hill and up the tower, went to a couple of Museums on the soviet side of things, there's a communist one which was okay and a kgb one that was ace and run by a crazy Russian dude. I'd recommend going and having a look at the synagogues too, loads of history from the Second World War etc, they're all museums now and quite impressive.
If you want to be in the missus' good books go to a little cocktail bar called Hemmingways not far from the Charles Bridge, really ace but not cheap. The only place I've ever been where I had to make reservations for a drink went to loads of other places too that I can't remember now

You want my advice? Wear some sensible effing footwear. The touristy bits are all cobbled streets without room for cars etc so you're walking everywhere but all the touristy bits aren't that far away from each other

Back. Can see the appeal for a city break. It looked great.
Stag do was rather messy. Didn't venture that far so did a lot of walking trying to find places. Default for breakfast was an Irish pub.
I actually thought it was a bit shite for stag do but I guess we didn't go right places etc

I've been their for a couple of Stag Doos and both were spent in a variety of different whore houses at the top of the main square, we did venture in to the old town which was lovely and had some nice bars and restaurants around.

I Got back on Friday. Was great. As I say it was just me and the Mrs.
Found loads of nice places to eat, went up the Petrin Tower, the bloody tram upto it was broke so had to walk. Bit of a leg killer!
The castle was good aswell, any more expencive and it wouldn't have been worth it though.
The metro was dirt cheep! 60p for 30 mins!
All in all a great few days!
