As the capital of the Czech Republic, Prague is famous for its ancient architecture but also boasts many modern wonders. Below are six of the most bizarre and unique experiences in Prague that you can visit if you're tired of traditional sights.

1. Sex Machines Museum

This is the world's first museum dedicated solely to sex toys. It's definitely not for the faint-hearted or the weak, with a massive collection of whips, vibrators, masks, and BDSM toys, including even more complex and "heavy-duty" exhibits, such as a steam vibrator from 1869 and a 19th-century French-style peeping room (with mirrors). The museum also includes larger machines, chastity belts, and a small cinema allowing visitors to watch old pornographic films from the early 1900s.

2. Exhibition of underground nuclear bunkers

This interactive tour of the decommissioned nuclear bunker introduces visitors to military equipment used in World War II, as well as numerous other battles, revolutions, and uprisings that took place in the Czech Republic. The exhibits display gas masks designed to protect citizens in the event of a chemical attack, uniforms, helmets, measuring and medical equipment, and a large collection of photographs and articles. Visitors can also explore the tunnel system built in case of an attack, as well as the machine rooms containing the equipment necessary to maintain the bunker's operation.

3. Beer Spa

In a country where a bottle of beer is cheaper than a bottle of water, you can absolutely bathe in beer if you want. Beer spas are very popular in Prague and offer a variety of health and beauty treatments using beer. The most popular at beer spas is the beer bath, where you can soak in a large oak tub filled with beer. Many beer spas even have a beer tap right next to the tub so you can drink as much beer as you like while soaking.

4. Giant "babies"

Czech sculptor David Černý is famous for his bizarre and sometimes eccentric sculptures, including the hanging statue of Saint Wenceslaus riding an upside-down horse, and the famous urinating statues outside the Kafka Museum. However, Černý's most famous works are his giant babies: 10 "babies" on either side of the Žižkov Television Tower, and three others crawling in the park near the Kampa Museum.

5. Golden Lane

Golden Lane is a medieval street located within the grounds of Prague Castle. What makes it a unique destination are the charming little houses that were once the residences of royal jewelers and alchemists from the 16th century. The Czech national writer Franz Kafka also briefly lived at 22 Golden Lane.

6. The world's first "defenestration" site.

The Czechs invented the word "defenestration," meaning to throw someone or something out of a window. While "defenestration" incidents did occur in Prague, first in 1419 and again in 1483, the term is most commonly used to describe an incident in 1618, the result of a fight that broke out during a meeting between Protestant and Catholic lords at Prague Castle. As a result, three Catholic representatives were thrown out of a window. Although they survived the fall from the third floor, the event caused a major national conflict and triggered the Thirty Years' War.
