I was in Prague 17 years ago. It was commie back then and a bit run down, but the buildings were amazing. I felt like I had stepped back in time. It was a fun city to wander around in. I was a little nervous walking past some government buildings guarded by Soviet troops, but it was a safe and fun time.

Here's a picture of a plain old alleyway that gives you a feel for the city in 1988. These amazing old ornate buildings that had fallen into disrepair after a few decades of being neglected. A lot of filth and drearyness, but the buildings were gems underneath.

I wish I could give you tips on what to see, but it was so long ago, I don't remember a lot of details. Plus, I don't know what may have changed.

Enjoy your time there. It's a nice city.
