New Years fireworks

If you are lucky enough to be in Prague for the new year celebrations, you will find it's a little wild here. Thousands of people bring their own fun bombs and launch them from everywhere. If you avoid being hit by one, you'll love the drama.

National Gallery, KINSKÝ PALACE

• Staroměstské náměstí 12, 110 15 Prague 1

Here in Prague, we are spoiled with so many galleries. It's confusing that we also have several places known as National Gallery. Here, I am showing photos from the Kinsky Palace.

Vyšehrad

• V pevnosti 159/5b, 128 00 Praha 2

overlooking the Vltava river and marina, Vyšehrad is one that is on most people's list of things to do... but because it's a little far from centre, and prague has so many other jewels, people sometimes skip it. Please make the journey :-)

Sunset on Riegrovy Sady

• Riegrovy sady, Praha 2

A popular spot among the locals. We like to watch the sunset from this hill. There is a beer garden nearby, so you can watch it with fresh beer. Or bring your own of course.

Svatý Jakub Větší (Church of St. James)

• Malá Štupartská, 110 00 Praha 1

Just behind the 'Tyn Church' you will find the church of St. James. Compared to other jewels in Pragues' crown, this church does not see too much people traffic, but given the location, I urge you to have a peek. Inside is of course pretty amazing.

Obecní Dům (Municipal House)

• Náměstí Republiky 5, 111 21, Praha 1

The Smetana Hall is one of the finest you will see and hear. Named after the much loved 19th century Czech Composer Bedřich Smetana. If concerts are not your thing then there's also an opulent bar and Pilsner restaurant downstairs.

Královská obora - Stromovka

If you're in the mood for a nice long walk in the green stuff then why not visit Stromovka. it's close to TROJA, so you could walk on to the ZOO or Botanic Gardens. The Czech word for 'Tree' is 'Strom', so Stromovka (roughly) translates as Tree Area

Letohrádek Hvězda (Star Summer Palace)

• Obora Hvězda, 160 00 Praha 6

I love coming here - The surrounding forest means it's stunning in summer, winter and autumn. There is always an art exhibition inside too, and Czechs being as they are, the exhibition is invariably of the highest standard. All inside a fascinating 6-poi

David Černý: Piss

• 118 00 Prague 1, Lesser Town

Visitors to Prague love this statue. It's great fun watching the reactions it gets. Located in the grounds of the Franz Kafka Museum, so no need to pay. Living here in Prague, I think this is a 'piss-take' of Czech guys... known for pissing in public.

Church of St. Ludmila (at Náměstí Míru)

• Náměstí Míru, 120 00 Praha 2

If you wish to get away from the centre, take a metro, or one of many trams to Náměstí Míru. You will see the Church of St. Ludmila. Not so old (late 19th century), but splendid all the same. Also, there are lots of great restaurants in this area.

Vojan Gardens

• Hlavni mesto, Praha

Another hidden gem in Prague. Discreetly behind huge white walls close to Charles bridge, these gardens date back to the 13th century. If you go at the right time you can pick fruit from the trees. Peaceful walk with peacocks strolling elegantly free.
