On the north side of Old Town is the lovely Rudolfinium, a concert hall, and (on the right edge of the picture) the very entertaining Museum of Decorative Arts.
Walking a little further leads into the section known as "Josefov," the old Jewish Quarter, which is now primarily The Jewish Museum. The Jewish Quarter is famous for its cemetery (Rabbi Lov and the Golem).
Roughly southeast of Old Town Square is Prague's main shopping district, Wenceslas Square, located in the district called Nove Mesto (New Town). The bustling, long central business district is lined with fantastic buildings, tons of shoppers, and (at the end, uphill) the National Museum. (We would always get disoriented, since going up the slope seemed to be taking us north instead of south.) I still remember, when I was a kid, watching the Soviet tanks rolling down this boulevard in 1968.
Setting out from the Square, one night we decided to hike to the Central Train Station. Along the way, we stumbled upon the Opera House.
The dramatically lit National Theatre often seemd to be our last sight before heading back over the bridge. We would always pass it on our return from Tesco, a large supermarket where we would stock up on fresh fruit, bread, mustard, tomatoes, and wine!
