The Old Town marketplace with its pastel-coloured baroque houses and cathedral is one of Europe’s most beautiful squares. Its centrepiece is a large statue of a prominent religious leader from the 1400s, Jan Hus. Numerous bars and cafés adorn the square.

Staronová Synagoga is one of the oldest synagogues in Europe. This is where Rabbi Löw, who created a Golem — the mythical clay figure which was to protect Prague’s Jewish population from persecution — preached. It has been an important centre for Czech Jews for centuries.

Witnessing the age-old craft of leather treatment at the Bab Debbagh tanneries is a fascinating experience. Situated near a river for water supply, these tanneries have been operating for centuries. The distinctive odour, resulting from ammonia used in the leather-softening process, will let you know you've arrived. Unlike some other Moroccan tanneries, the focus here is on treating leather in its natural state; the dyeing happens elsewhere. Visiting the site can be a bit tricky due to the presence of unofficial 'guides' demanding payment. If you prefer a hassle-free experience, consider hiring a certified guide as part of a medina tour. Otherwise, prepare to navigate past these unofficial attendants by offering a small tip and insisting on entering without their assistance.

Shortly after the assassination of singer John Lennon in 1980, this stone wall, located across from the French embassy, was converted into an impromptu memorial with a painting of the singer's face, candles, and song lyrics from The Beatles. Soon, political graffiti criticising the totalitarian regime began to appear. Despite the authorities' countless attempts to whitewash the wall, they never truly managed to keep it clean for long. Today, the Lennon Wall is an endless tribute to the freedom movement. It has lots of graffiti, drawings, and messages, and anyone who comes here is free to leave their contribution. This is also a great spot for photos.
