Prague taxis are very shady, and should be taken as a last resort - there's plenty of public transport (but always buy a valid ticket). If you have to take a taxi, order one from AAA. They are the most honest and reliable I found in the city, and they have English speaking dispatchers. Just tell them where you are and they'll send a taxi, normally within 10-15 minutes.

Get out of town and visit Kutna Hora - the Cathedral and the Ossuary are really something else. Or take a trip East to Plzen and visit the brewery - it is surely the best place in the world to drink one of the best beers in the world - fresh as can be, and a pretty town center, too.

Lovely Pontoon bar with rental pedalos next door - great place to spend an afternoon...

On the river side of the island just below the National Theatre...

Large, central pub with great beer and good food - mixed clientele (locals/tourists) and (by Prague standards) friendly staff. There's plenty of room if you keep going back into the hall.

This local car rental firm has a good drop-off service, English speaking staff, and really good rates.
