The realisation of what sort of powerhouse Czechoslovakia was in the interbellum really hits you. All the greater news: Czechia retook that place largely, after regaining its freedom.

One of the highlights of my trip to Prague was the National Technical Museum (Národní technické…read moremuzeum). It was fantastic. The museum is quite large, with 7 floors (floors -3 to 3, with a floor 0), and including a quick lunch at the museum, I was there for nearly five hours. The exhibits I saw were: Technology in the Home; Printing; Astronomy; Television Studio; Architecture, Civil Engineering, and Design; Photography; Chemistry Around Us; Measurement of Time; Transportation; Steam Engines in the Czech Lands; Metallurgy; Mining; and a temporary exhibit on Taiwan, which was in place of the Technology in Toys exhibit. My favourite exhibits were the astronomy, time, and chemistry exhibits. The astronomy exhibit had really cool instruments, and I probably spent the longest in that exhibit. The Technology in the Home exhibit was pretty interesting as well, and had household appliances on display from the mid-19th century to present time. I didn't care too much for the Taiwan exhibit, although the display of ancient Chinese locks and keys was neat. Overall, this is an amazing museum, and I highly recommend it. The only issue I had, however, was at the restaurant. Before I went to the museum, I checked on their website that they took credit card, which they did. However, for some reason, the restaurant took cash only, which was not mentioned on the website, nor were there any signs indicating this, so I only found out after I had ordered my food. And as I was towards the end of my trip in Prague, I was running low on cash. So beware about that, and bring cash just in case. Other things to note: there is no wi-fi, but it is wheelchair accessible. [Yelp collections: Europe 2015; Prague, Czech Republic; Museums and Art Galleries]

We are glad we visited. It wasn't the most kid friendly of sites but we bought the audio guide and that kept him largely occupied. He was interested in the stories of Gollum. The audio guides and tickets were really expensive, by far the most expensive thing we did on our trip. A family ticket for 3 of us with the audio firs was about $80 USD. So that's the only thing to note. Make sure you set aside enough time and money if you choose to do the various sites.

The front desk worker very aggressively tried to upsell us on audio guides, which cost an additional 250 czk (10 euros) per person. We declined, and she argued with us, and then tried to add them on anyway! Having seen the collection, I am confident that the audio guides are not worth it at all. A very unpleasant experience. However, the docents at the individual synagogues were all great.

It took us a hot minute to find this place as it's located within and underneath Hotel Central on the cafe side. There's some creepy stuff, but the museum is definitely meant for small children, not adults, as we'd originally thought. Lucky for my friend and I, the nice woman at the counter only charged us the children's admission enter, which I think it was around $4 each, which for what he saw was def a bit steep, but my friend and I got a few jokes out how we got duped into coming here thinking it would actually be something cool and not a tiny tourist trap for tiny humans. We took our sweet time and I still think we were in and out, having seen and played with everything, in under 8 minutes. There's a small gift shop with little knick-knacks of things you'd find at a dollar store. Little rubber finger puppet monsters, single candy packs, etc. We walked through the 'horrors' part of the museum which has kind of a compartmentalized haunted house, only the only the thing that's scary is that it's dark, they have a fog machine, and your glasses and camera lens will fog up as soon as you reach the pit of the stairs. Full of dressed-up novelty skeletons and a 'spooky-ish' animatronic camel that I still don't understand, but Czech isn't my native language, so perhaps something was lost in translation. The rest of the museum is like a grandmother's attic filled with little toys and models and a mini play house and little theater room with hand puppets and coloring sheets on toddler picnic tables. I guess we should have known it was for kids from the gift shop, but for whatever reason, it just didn't register and then we felt like pedos going through when there was a family in the playroom (looking miserable) with their kids. Now knowing that this place is meant for kids, I think a 3-star is still pretty fair. The dark foggy area seemed like it would be way too scary for little kids, and the rest of the museum wouldn't have been much of anything for anyone over the age of 4 to look at. If you're in the area and looking to terrify and/or shut your toddler up for 30-minutes to 45 minutes (if they latch onto the coloring pages) and willing to for over the $4-$8 admission per person, this is your place. Also, it's a stone's throw from the Plzen tower, so if other members of your party are doing that climb, this might be a just fine place to hide out with kids.

Brewery or museum? The ages old question asked by sensible…read moretourists while planning travel itineraries. This place is a mixture of both... sort of. It's a beer museum! :) (Yay!!!) ... that doesn't serve beer. :( (womp, womp.) But it's actually still pretty cool... probably better if you can read the native language, though... but we still had fun. If you're really into brewing, you could spend 1.5-2 hours here perusing the many levels easy. If you're just there for the heck of it, 45 minutes it's probably good. Things to know: // It's not free, admission runs about the cost of what a movie would cost you. A fair price, I'd say. // It's more historic than novelty. // Not at all hipster-y like you'd expect. // It's set up kind of like a multi-level labyrinth with ups and downs at every wall so going through is never boring. // They have a whole big area at the end that's a children's playground with some beer-themed play things. Teachin' 'em young. Awesome. // SOME of the figures are animatronic and some are not. They bait you by showing you a bunch of mannequins that don't move, then BAM, you walk into a quiet room and all these robots start canoodling and making noises and drinking beer and it WILL scare the sh*t out of you, but once your heart stops beating out of your chest and your friends stop laughing at you, you'll appreciate the humor of it. // Has a lot of info about the town, the Czech Republic, and Europe in general, so even if you don't care about beer, you can enjoy the historic portions of the museum. // It's attached to a bar, so you can go get your booze fix after, should you so desire.

The museum is very old and probably in need of some upgrading... It also includes a few darker themes, however this is part of the culture and history of Prague. The staff is very nice, although may not speak English. Yet this fact made it one of my most authentic moments in Prague, which had sadly become suffocatingly touristy and English-speaking. The museum is very large and there are not many people in the museum, although the price is fair. In any case, it felt like a much needed respite from the dreadfully touristy streets of Prague. As music is a defining feature of the Czech Republic, but especially Prague, (and as good music is becoming a lost art today), I highly recommend that people visit this museum to learn and expand their minds.

The Czech Museum of Music is beautiful centrally located right in the heart of Praha. The offered a great gallery for children and lots of stimulation for the kids through the art of music. The rooms just go on and on into loops showcasing three different levels of instruments and versatile arrangements of important documents of music and the history behind it. I was greatly satisfied and had such a pleasant time even playing the piano downstairs for a few minutes. So much to see & do. Definitely a must see when visiting Prague!!! Great for families and everyone who can appreciate the value and understanding of music. Parking isn't the best, but luckily I found parking right across the street on a weekday. Best if you take the tram to the museum! Less stress! Ha ha.

The complex stretches down to Lesser Quarter (Mala Strana), where you'll find several beautiful chateaux and palaces.

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.

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.
