    I'm a little late to the party, OP has problem come and gone to Prague already but I wanted to chime in with some more recommendations in case anyone in the future might read this:

    -The National Museum is fabulous (not to be confused with the National Technical Museum which someone already mentioned.) This one has several buildings but I went to the main, historic one. Loads of Czech history very tastefully displayed. If you are a graphic design buff, I highly recommend it. For science buffs, there is a wing full of different formations of minerals collected from around the world. It is staggering in its size and breadth. Another wing has a huge collection of shells from an array of marine life.

    -On the other end of the museum spectrum there is an unofficial LEGO museum. Really, it's a basement inside of a LEGO store but the collection is exhaustive, fun, and spans the entire history of LEGO. I found some sets from my childhood that I'd never thought I'd see again.

    -Food-wise you can't go wrong. The goulash was great (especially if you can find it in a bread bowl), the various sausages slapped (overall the cuisine is very meat-forward), but by far my favorite were the chimney cakes. You can find them all over town and they are kind of like large, hollow churros that you can fill with fruits and creams and chocolate. As for a specific eatery, I recommend the restaurant Krčma. There was a cozy, beer hall atmosphere and they had great bready, blueberry dumplings amongst other things.

    -One thing to note is that unlike other parts of Europe, tipping culture has taken root there and 10% is usually the expected rate.

    Na zdraví!
