From the 17th-century, nearby the river and in front of french-looking gardens. The palace has a beautiful baroque staircase and a grand hall with frescoes by Abraham Godyn and his son Isaac.

The National Theatre, of neo-renaissance style, is from the 19th-century.
It suffered a fire a few days before it's opening and had to be quickly reconstructed by the best Czech artists from the late 19th-century.

Strahov Monastery.
Founded in the 12th-century, and nearby the Castle, it has a huge library and an excellent art gallery.

The Vysehrad surroundings.
It's another historical site, with magnificent views of the city and a graveyard for Czech personages, Slavín.
