1. Sex Machines Museum
This is the world's first museum dedicated to sex toys. It's definitely not for the squeamish or the old-fashioned, with a huge collection of whips, vibrators, masks and BDSM toys, as well as more elaborate and hardcore exhibits, like an 1869 steam vibrator and a 19th-century French peephole (complete with mirrors). The museum also includes larger machines, chastity belts and a small cinema that allows visitors to watch old porn films from the early 1900s.

3. Beer Spa
In a country where a bottle of beer is cheaper than a bottle of water, you can bathe in beer if you want. Beer spas are popular in Prague and offer a variety of health and beauty treatments using beer. The most popular of these is the beer bath, where you 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 want while you soak.

4. Giant "babies"
Czech sculptor David Černý is known for his strange and sometimes downright eccentric sculptures, including a hanging statue of St. Wenceslaus riding an upside-down horse, and the famous urinating statues outside the Kafka Museum. Černý's most famous works, however, are his giant babies: 10 on either side of the Žižkov TV Tower, and three 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 beautiful cottages that housed royal goldsmiths and alchemists from the 16th century. The Czech national writer Franz Kafka also lived at 22 Golden Lane for a short time.

6. The world's first "defenestration" site
The Czechs invented the word “defenestration,” which means to throw someone or something out of a window. Although there were “defenestrations” in Prague, the first in 1419 and the second in 1483, the term is most commonly used to describe an incident in 1618 that resulted from a fight that broke out during a meeting between Protestant and Catholic Lords at Prague Castle. As a result, three Catholic representatives were pushed out of a window. Although they survived the fall from the third floor of the building, the event caused a major conflict in the country and started the Thirty Years’ War.
