What touristy things should i go see when i go to Prague in January ?

Answer 1

Before going there I read somewhere that the best of Prague are its churches and synagoges, and it´s true.
The Jewish Quarter: near the Jewish Town Hall you´ll find find some synagoges. There´s the Staronova Synagoge (the oldest in Europe, from 1210. visit the Maisel synagoge and the Old-New synagoge. In the quarter you must visit an old cementery which is really interesting; you can see its level is much higher than the street in the outside; it was the only place where the Jews of the city ould be buried and there are several "layers" making the cementery higher than the street level (there´s a wall).
The castle:in the inside you must visit the Cathedral, the Royal Palace, Saint George Basilica and the "gold alley (or street) where the craftsmen had their working places; really nice.
Loreta: there´s a legend that says the angels took the house where virgin Mary lived to Loreto in Italy so as to keep it from dangers. In the XVII mnay similar "houses" were built all around Europe. One of them is in this place in Prague; you can´t take photos inside, but I must say it´s impressive.
The Old Town Square: visit Saint Nicholas Church, the Town Hall (go up to the top, beautiful views of the city and surroundings). Also, Týn Church, with its beautiful pinacles. The astronomical clock from the XV century (be careful with pickpockets!)
Wenceslas square: the Square itself and the National museum.,
The Vltava river is crossed by several bridges. All of them are beautiful; the most famous one is Charles Bridge; go there early in the morning or you´ll find it crowded. Nearby, it´s Kampa island: beautiful for a relaxing walk. At one end of one of the bridges there´s a house, in the modern part of the city which is called "the dancing building" because its architecture makes you believe it IS moving!!
I could go on for hours but you´ll better go and check the beauty of this city by yourself!! Lucky you!!

Answer 2

See everything - it's all great.

The castle, cathedrals and the Charles bridge are certainly highlights.
The puppet theatre is well worth a look.
The Jewish quarter is worth seeing - especially if you read up on Rabbi Loew and the Golem before your visit.
There is a ghost tour that is fun and runs every night.
The old town square has a fantastic market and the famous astronomic clock. The clock is magnificent!
I also liked the museums, the museum of sex machines is a good laugh (not actually as filthy as you first think). The wax museum is cheap and passes a hour well enough.
There is a great night club - I forget the name but it near the Charles Bridge and was made from a multi-storey car park. Go there for a good night out.
Err... there's more I'm sure but there is soooo much to remember!

Oh yeah, look UP all the time because otherwise you might miss some of the statues on the buildings!

Have a fantastic time!

You undesirable element ,Prague is soo touristy which you're able to desire to journey it to even start to think of how touristy that's. My suggestion is to pass to Prague and then pass to olmounce in the czech republic, I had a impressive time, the all and sundry is large and you get a greater valuable sense for each little thing far off from Prague in case you dont agree. you're in basic terms a short bus journey lower back to Prague. have a sturdy time and be secure!!! I desire i substitute into going.

Don't do the river boat ride. (It was an hour of my life I'll never get back.)
