An overall outstanding museum with great variety, and a wonderful building…read more Natural history exhibits can get dry and encyclopedic, but they did a great job with the Evolution exhibit tying together narratives and creating connections. There is an awful lot of history to cover, and they do a good job hitting highlights and providing depth on certain topics. Really good amount of meaningful artifacts from all eras. Be sure to make the trek to the 20th Century history exhibit in the New Building, it's included in admission. There was a temporary exhibit, fairly simple but modern, on Bedrich Smetana, a composer I had only vaguely heard of but left appreciating much more. Considering the number of people at the museum, very few seemed to find their way up to the cupola. It's not super well labeled: just take any elevator to the top, great view (though Wenceslas Square will be a construction zone for a while).

The new…read morebuilding features an exhibit on the history of the Czech Republic under Nazi Germany 1938-1945 and Soviet rule from 1948-1989 until the Berlin Wall came down. Great artifacts including propaganda, model apartment. Clothes and various leaders during that time. Very interesting and a great place to spend a few hours on a hot and humid or rainy day.

We took a guided tour of the castle and it was a fantastic experience. The castle complex is…read moreenormous--about 753,473 square feet--making it the largest ancient castle in the world, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. The complex stretches down to Lesser Quarter (Mala Strana), where you'll find several beautiful chateaux and palaces. One notable example is Wallenstein Palace, which is home to the Czech Senate and includes 26 houses and six gardens. Inside the castle walls, there's so much to explore: a stunning cathedral, multiple museums, the office of the Czech president, the Bohemian Crown Jewels, and much more. The entire complex is incredibly expansive--it can easily take several hours to see everything. If you're visiting Prague, this is definitely a must-see landmark, and taking a guided tour really helps you appreciate the history and scale of the place.

We saw Pražský hrad through a Get Your Guide tour while we were in Prague for the day and overall,…read moreI'm not sure I would recommend it. Compared to the Madrid Palance, Pražský hrad feels dusty. The Madrid Palace is opulent and had air purifiers in almost every room. Pražský hrad has rooms that are almost unbearable to stand in due to the allergens and construction. The carpet was dingy and it's mostly the gorgeous gothic outside that's the draw. All in all, I don't think you need to have a guide for Pražský hrad and I could see buying entrance tickets and being perfectly content with your choice.

You may pass this museum if you aren't looking for it. It is nestled in a small storefront with…read moreseveral other shops off the main square. We went inside out of curiosity. It wasn't expensive so we paid to walk through. It is about a 30 minute self-guided tour unless you read all the placards. They are all easy, short reads. The place is a little dusty and dated. Still, it is fun to walk around and discover that your mother's "neck massager" had other purposes. Gasp! Make sure to grab a picture in the chair in the front lobby. It will tell you how hot of a lo er you are. All good fun!

Not sure why there are high reviews for this on both Yelp and Google Reviews; I thought it was an…read moreincredibly middling and overpriced experience. For the cost of nearly $30 USD, you get an audio recording tour of a beer "museum" complete with some lame graphics and a tasting that consisted of beer with mainly foam, which they said enhanced the flavor but seemed like a way of cheating out on a full pour. It's not the brewery either, so don't expect to see anything related to the actual brewing process. If you want to try Pilsner Urquell, you can do so a lot cheaper at any bar nearby, which is what this basically was. 2 stars instead of 1 because the bathrooms were pristine and the space itself is really nice with plenty of seating and free WiFi.

We loved the Beer Experience!…read more We booked this tour last minute for 11 am on a Saturday. It was raining so this was a perfect way to spend a couple of hours. We arrived early and walked around the gift shop a bit. They had an amazing amount of merchandise. Much of it very useful and some of it is also engravable and they have an engraver onsite. I bought a t-shirt. At 11 am, we started our tour. It starts on the second floor (level 1). There are stair and there are lifts. The experience is about a number of things: 1. Perusing their extensive merchandise in there gift shop 2. Learning about Pilsner Urquell, their history and the history of beer and beer making 3. Beer tasting 4. Hanging out on the third floor (level 2) for more beer, some food if you'd like (purchase) and games (foos ball) Back to item 2, they told their beer and beer making story, by using an audio track with your language on comfortable wireless headphones and by the use of visuals projected on the walls. As you walked through the halls, your headphones knew where you were and the audio guide was tailored to the presentation you were seeing on the walls. It was super well done. About half way through, there was a stop at a bar for your first of 3 included beer tastes. These were maybe .2L mugs. At the end of this part of the experience, you're given a 10% off coupon for the gift shop and 2 beer tokens, then you head up a level where you can use supplied tokens at the bar for what I feel were full .5L mugs of beer. There were foos ball tables, plenty of seating and large WCs. Front one of the beertenders, we ordered a Pretzel. We paid for it at the bar and 10 minutes later, a fresh, hot pretzel and mustard was delivered to where we were sitting. We toured a number of Beer Experiences around the world. This was a real good one.

A short tour but one worth taking if you're into this kind of stuff…read more I came in somewhat on a whim, just before the start of a new tour. There were four of us, which seemed appropriate for the size of the spaces. Our tour guide was new, but she did a fantastic job nonetheless with giving us cool facts and details about the space. There are lots of cool objects and items. Some authentic, some rebuilt, some just for show. You have to guess which is which before the sand in the hourglass empties or everyone dies. There's even a shop where you can purchase versions of the opium-laden potions of the past. Too bad they're not the same. PS, everyone in our group was wearing all black. It's that kind of place ;)

Recreated with love, this alchemy lab is a blast and the guide was as delightful as one could imagine. My companion, a Prague native, had never heard of the place but found it entertaining, while I nd my other companion found it charming. It's maybe not everyone's cup of tea. but if alchemy (the historical origins of chemistry) appeal, then this is a fantastic couple of hours worth of fun.

What a great find to stumble upon in the touristy part of Old Town, across the famous clock tower…read more Had an awesome time seeing and trying out the optical illusion exhibits! It is an interactive museum where you can be a part of the illusions and take cool photos. Messes with your mind in a good way! One drawback is that the floor up usually has a perfect view of the Tower when it chimes on the hour and does tricks, but since the tower was closed that day (renovations) plus the 2nd floor exhibit was closed, we got a slight discount. Nevertheless, the first floor of exhibits was still fun!

So we quite literally go down the Rabbit Hole. Music was alternatively loud and not loud, different DJ's with EDM and drum/bass loops. Not too loud that you couldn't have a conversation but loud enough that it set a good mood. There are a number of different spaces here and it did get quite busy. Beer was cold, the people were nice and we had an enjoyable time. Lots of interesting things to look at. Great black and white theme, a number of rabbits all about too. One of them, very judge-y.
