This is for L., who is going to Prague and asked me to prepare list of ‘must-see’ places. Since he didn’t provide more details about what he wants to see or what he’s after, I’m offering my own choice of 5things that are not to be missed, rather than ordinary boring turistic stuff (that he probably won’t be able to avoid anyway). Enjoy!
