Charles Bridge at dawn, then down to Kampa
Cross the bridge at first light, before the statues belong to anyone else, then drop to Kampa.
Josefov: the Jewish Quarter, told straight
The oldest active synagogue in Europe, the layered cemetery, and a memorial wall of names.
Letná: the plateau, the plinth, and the metronome
The park above the river, where the world's largest Stalin once stood and a giant metronome now ticks.
Malá Strana: the baroque terrace gardens
Wallenstein's peacocks, the terraced gardens climbing the castle hill, and the Vrtba view.
