The State Opera House. If you're too late to buy tickets for a performance, don't miss the opportunity to take a guided tour of this fascinating building. Bombed in world war two, it was rebuilt almost exactly as it was in the 19th-century.

Beautful Art Deco building which hosts nightly classical concerts. Best bit is the cafe on the ground floor (on the left as you go in): everything a MittelEuropean coffee house should be. Ideal for killing an hour or so.

Best place to eye loads of old Soviet-era tat. Understandably, the text that accompanies the displays is not overly favourable to Marxism-Leninism but this is a superb peek behind the Iron Curtain. Highlight is the agricultural propaganda poster claiming "Manuring the hayfields is the greatest amelioration!"

Na Prikope 10, near Mustek station. Go through the arch by McDonalds (love the irony) and the entrance is on your right and up the stairs.

Lovely little tea shop in the shadow of the castle. Great variety of tea, good for snacks too.

Nerudova 19. Half way up the steep hill. Spot all the motifs and designs above the doorways as you go!
