Just went over last weekend and it was one of the best short breaks I have had in a long time! The walk through the cobbled streets, over Charles Bridge, through the festive markets eating trodl, a hollow barrell-like delicacy made from caramel and almonds, a must to try with some warm grog!
The best thing for me was going to Cafe Slavia (opposite the National Theatre) and Cafe Louvre (Narodni 20). Try to get a table by the window and enjoy their great coffees, hot chocolate (the real deal) looking over Charles Bridge and taking in the atmosphere.
Whether you are travelling alone or with someone, it will definitely relax you and might even give you some inspiration. Cafe Louvre, though without a great view, has this unexplainable charm and has entertained the likes of Franz Kafka and Albert Einstein. A city where the pace is slow but still with a vibrancy that touches your soul.
