Follow my 24-hour itinerary, and then get on with it.

Your feet must be pretty tired from all the walking yesterday, so today we'll take it easy. In the morning visit the historic Jewish quarter. The Jewish Museum was founded in 1906 to preserve records and artefacts. It's a group of six synagogues, Jewish Town Hall and the Old Jewish Cemetery. The cemetery dates from the 15th century and the Old New Synagogue is the oldest still existing synagogue in Europe.

While in the area, head down Pařižská Street for the high-fashion shops. Also in this area, on Dlouhá Street you can find some good bars and restaurants. Read our "Shop 'Til You Drop" section for tips on visiting some local Czech fashion shops in the area.

Vyšehrad For a bit of green peace head to Vyšehrad, the seat of the first king of Bohemia in the 11th century. Legend has it the future of the glory of Prague was foretold from this spot by one Princess Libuse who said "I can see a large city, whose fame will reach the stars". You will see the original fortification wall; the Church of St. Peter and Paul and a cemetery designed for great Czech writers, artists and musicians. The dead include writer Karel Čapek, Art Nouveau sensation Alfons Mucha, composers Antonín Dvořák and Bedřich Smetana. There's lots of green grass, beautiful views over the Vltava and a beer garden if the season is right.

Alternatively (or both if fresh air is calling) head up to the National Memorial at Vìtkov in the Zižkov neighbourhood of Prague 3. This memorial was originally built in the 1920s to honour the Czechoslovak legionnaires and has recently been reconstructed and reopened with a new exhibit on the history of Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic. Other bonuses include fabulous views over the city, lots of paths (all uphill) and a massive statue of war hero Jan Zižka on his horse. There's a viewing platform on top of the building as well as a great café.

End your day by checking out at least one museum and in the evening take in a concert — you're in Prague, after all, and should get some culture in somewhere. The Rudolfinum is a Neo-Renaissance building built in the second half of the 19th century. It's home to the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra and the best place to see a concert in Prague. It's also an art gallery which hosts temporary contemporary art exhibits, and the gallery itself is something to see.

If contemporary art is your thing head out to the Dox Centre for Contemporary Art in Prague 7.

If you prefer photography hit Leica Gallery or 19th-20th century "stuff" can be found in the Decorative Arts Museum, which also has an excellent gift shop.

The Museum of Communism is surprisingly well done and the objects on display include household items and Communist-era posters. Note its entrance next to a McDonald's. Hmmm.

If you are a true music freak; hit the Dvořák Museum, which is housed in a former Baroque summer palace, or for a broader overview visit the Czech Museum of Music, another place to take in some beautiful architecture. Here you'll get a bit of calm as it can be found in a 17th-century villa; the place where Mozart wrote his famed opera Don Giovanni.

And finally, Prague and Franz Kafka seem to go hand in hand, so get a true sense of the man and his city with a visit to the Kafka Museum.
