The 10 Best Things to do in Praha 2, Bohemia
The bohemian allure and fairytale features of Prague make it a perfect destination for beach-weary vacationers who want to immerse themselves in culture. You could devote an entire day to exploring Prazsky hrad (Prague Castle), then refueling over a hearty dinner at a classic Czech tavern. Spend some time wandering the Old Town Square before heading over to gape at The Old Town Hall and Astronomical Clock. Prague’s best bars are found in cellars, where historic pubs set the scene for a night of traditional tippling.

This museum tells the story of brave Czech paratroopers who killed SS-Obergrupenführer Reinhard Heydrich in the Operation Anthropoid. Jan Kubiš and Josef Gabčík escaped to this church and the crypt under the church together with five more paratroopers and 20 days later they died here in battle against 700 Nazi soldiers.

This museum is a remembrance and memorial to the Czech resistance paratroopers, who during WWII, took part in a secret undercover plan to assassinate Hitler's favorite General, Reinhard Heydrich, head of the dreaded SS. These men, I believe there were seven, infiltrated behind the lines back into Prague where they hid out in the basement Crypt of the St Cyril Church. Eventually most most died during a ferocious fire-fight with the German army but they were responsible for Heydrich's death, and it's all a very interesting historical account of a little known event during WWII.

What a wonderful way to experience the smells and tastes of Prague along the beautiful Vltava river. The size of the market is perfect for spending two hours visiting food stalls and craft vendors late Saturday morning. Why late am? Come for lunch and try the hot mulled wine, selections of typical Czech food like kolache, many kinds of pork, Grundl, goulash and more. Bonus for cookie lovers: one of the stalls is from Gingerbread PERNÍČKŮV.delcious gingerbread and other specialities. I found some beautiful (and irresistible) handmade Crochet and bead work from Irenka L. (Instagram Limetka.art). I got a Crocheted metallic thread necklace with pearls and some earrings for myself as well as some earrings for a friend. Pictured below is the necklace paired with another of my Clay Pot, NYC necklaces. Another interesting vendor was a yak yarn stall. Hopefully others can post more to entice you to visit. This shot of the Vltava was taken on my iPhone 6s as we left the market.

One of the nicest place we have visited in Prague it was Vysehrad. It was not in our list to do, but since our friend lives in Prague city she told us to visit this historic fort of Prague and the village of Vysehrad, that includes a really charming Church os St Peter, a Gothic cemetery and we walked all morning around the huge walls of the Fort that gives you a gorgeous view from Prague city and all bridges. It also contains Prague's oldest Rotunda of St. Martin from the 11th century and there is a coffee shop and small gift shops around. The best part, it’s a place with not lots of tourists, since they prefer to stay in the Old town of Prague and we could walk without busy streets, take good pictures and no stress at all! We got the metro to get there plus some walking in not regular stones, but we believe there is a parking around and we saw many people with children. We don't remember if there is an entrance fee, we think we didn't pay to visit the Fort, however if you want to visit the Church inside you must pay around $ 2.70cad. They just accept cash in their currency. Eli: 5 / Serge: 5 Recommended: Yes, we really loved to spend the morning up there, it’s an interesting historic and oasis place to visit in Prague
