Top 10 Museums in Hradcany & Letna, 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.

Absolutely wonderful museum tour that we both truly felt stood shoulders above all other museum experiences we had during our short trip to Prague. Fascinating family history told in such an elegant and informative way, with the unexpected highlight of seeing first hand the original manuscripts for Haydn and Beethoven and another anointed manuscript by Mozart, all of whom had close relationships with the ancestors of the current Lobkowicz family. An astonishing story that we would have no hesitation in returning to.

Will only take you 20-30 minutes at most, but a fascinating collection and worth the visit. Then, visit the nearby monastery restaurant/brewery for good food & beer, with fantastic views out over Prague!
