Things to do in Prague

Do a walking tour! I did two — one on each side of the river. Then, I took a boat tour to Devil's Channel to see the city from all vantage points.
No trip to Prague would be complete without spending significant time exploring Prague Castle, the world's largest castle complex. Make sure to be out front at noon for the daily changing of the guard ceremony.
Enjoy a classic concert in one of many historic and ornate buildings throughout the city. Typically, only an hour long, it's a great pre-or post-dinner activity.
Visit the Klementinum complex, which contains the Astronomical Tower and Baroque Library. The true highlight of the city's more "touristy" attractions, tickets sell out quickly, so it's recommended to purchase them in advance. The tour will take you to one of the most beautiful libraries I've ever seen. This is followed by a climb up the Astronomical Tower for uninterrupted views of the city's famous spires.
Then, walk across the street and pop into the Municipal Library for a quick photo of the never-ending bookshelf.
Book yourself into the Beer Spa for a one-of-a-kind spa experience. A typical session involves you soaking in a wooden tub filled with hops with access to beer bread and unlimited Czech beer on your own personal tap. If you are wearing a swimsuit, it's recommended to be a dark color due to the potential risk of staining. My skin has never felt as soft as it did after this experience! The spa products make great souvenirs, and I highly recommend the shampoo.
In case that wasn't enough beer for you, make sure to get a ticket to the Pilsner Urquell experience. A well-done interactive museum that comes with, you guessed it, more beer, learn the history of this important part of Czech culture.
Visit the National Gallery Prague — I visited during their special exhibition on hockey in art. The exhibit was unique and interesting while not being overwhelming in size.
Browse one of the many jewelry stores selling the bohemian gem Moldavite. This beautiful green stone is unique to Bohemia and makes a special reminder of your time in Prague.
Places to eat & drink in Prague

Angelato: A lovely gelato with many fun, unique flavors.
Anonymous Bar: Grab a nightcap at this fun cocktail bar for V for Vendetta fans.
Café Café: This espresso/wine bar is a chic spot for dinner. I grabbed a spot by the street-facing window for some people-watching as I enjoyed a nice glass of wine.
You will see plenty of chimney cake stands around the city. While they can be a nice treat when done right, they are not Czech.
Deer: I treated myself to their tasting menu with wine pairing, where each course is beautifully presented and contains its signature: venison. Because the Czech still has its own currency, it makes this a very affordable tasting menu.
Pivovar u Supa is the oldest brewery and inn in the city. I tried the rabbit leg and was pleasantly surprised by its quality.
Teresa U Prince went viral for a good reason. The views from the rooftop restaurant are unparalleled, and the food is surprisingly tasty. It's a great spot to enjoy a leisurely lunch.
Need to know
As mentioned, the Czech Republic still has its own currency, meaning Prague continues to be a very affordable European destination. I found many places still prefer cash, so make sure to have some Koruna with you.
Like most of Europe, the city streets are predominately cobblestone, which makes it not very suitcase friendly.
