A short tour but one worth taking if you're into this kind of stuff…read more I came in somewhat on a whim, just before the start of a new tour. There were four of us, which seemed appropriate for the size of the spaces. Our tour guide was new, but she did a fantastic job nonetheless with giving us cool facts and details about the space. There are lots of cool objects and items. Some authentic, some rebuilt, some just for show. You have to guess which is which before the sand in the hourglass empties or everyone dies. There's even a shop where you can purchase versions of the opium-laden potions of the past. Too bad they're not the same. PS, everyone in our group was wearing all black. It's that kind of place ;)

Recreated with love, this alchemy lab is a blast and the guide was as delightful as one could imagine. My companion, a Prague native, had never heard of the place but found it entertaining, while I nd my other companion found it charming. It's maybe not everyone's cup of tea. but if alchemy (the historical origins of chemistry) appeal, then this is a fantastic couple of hours worth of fun.

The museum of communism is a very interesting place to visit on your trip to Prague. I found it…read morevery informative and learned a lot about Czech history and the role communism played in it.

There is an awful lot of history to cover, and they do a good job hitting highlights and providing depth on certain topics. Really good amount of meaningful artifacts from all eras. Be sure to make the trek to the 20th Century history exhibit in the New Building, it's included in admission. There was a temporary exhibit, fairly simple but modern, on Bedrich Smetana, a composer I had only vaguely heard of but left appreciating much more. Considering the number of people at the museum, very few seemed to find their way up to the cupola. It's not super well labeled: just take any elevator to the top, great view (though Wenceslas Square will be a construction zone for a while).

It is an interactive museum where you can be a part of the illusions and take cool photos. Messes with your mind in a good way! One drawback is that the floor up usually has a perfect view of the Tower when it chimes on the hour and does tricks, but since the tower was closed that day (renovations) plus the 2nd floor exhibit was closed, we got a slight discount. Nevertheless, the first floor of exhibits was still fun!

We took a guided tour of the castle and it was a fantastic experience. The castle complex is…read moreenormous--about 753,473 square feet--making it the largest ancient castle in the world, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. The complex stretches down to Lesser Quarter (Mala Strana), where you'll find several beautiful chateaux and palaces. One notable example is Wallenstein Palace, which is home to the Czech Senate and includes 26 houses and six gardens. Inside the castle walls, there's so much to explore: a stunning cathedral, multiple museums, the office of the Czech president, the Bohemian Crown Jewels, and much more. The entire complex is incredibly expansive--it can easily take several hours to see everything. If you're visiting Prague, this is definitely a must-see landmark, and taking a guided tour really helps you appreciate the history and scale of the place.

I read almost every little note through out and sat down for the short documentary on the Velvet Revolution. Otherwise you could get all the way through in probably 10 mins if you don't. The rather ironic thing of this museum is that it's in the same building as a casino and right next door to a McDonald's. It's about $8 to get in. There is a discount for students.

I'm terrible at history, but I really enjoy learning about the history of the places I travel to. I don't know too much about communism, so I thought that the Museum of Communism would be the perfect place to learn what exactly is communism, how it started, and how it affected the Czech Republic. Well, it was quite disappointing, and not worth the money. I came out of there still not having a clue about communism and how it started, and it was a small, shabby, run down museum. A little depressing, actually. I'd only recommend going if it's late at night, everything else is closed, you have nothing better to do, and you just happen to be in the area--don't go out of your way to find it. Speaking about finding it, it's not well marked and hard to find. The Lonely Planet book said it was above a McDonald's, and that was extremely helpful. If it weren't for that tip, I would never have found it, despite having the address. To get to the museum, you have to enter through a casino, which is filled with cigarette smoke, and there is no elevator, just stairs, so it's not accessible for people in wheelchairs, or for people who like to breathe.

Let's starts of positive, the way the tour-information system was set up was nice, not considering the actual content it brought. The collection was quite big, going up to 2012(time for an update right?). It had all the products that made Apple famous: the first iPhone, the iPod, PowerBook, Macintosh. What I did really miss was the Lisa I. Too bad, rare item to get anyway, don't blame them. Note said it's 'work in progress', could be there soon. The information provided on the web for the tour was rather minimalistic. Small note when it was released etc. What I did like was that the specs were shown of every device. The museum itself was very small, within a blink of an eye you were in and out. Much more effort could've been put in telling all about your masterpieces instead of putting them all in the same room. TL;DR Mediocre museum with a big collection all stuffed up in the city centre of Prague. If you're a diehard fan who loves Apple products and nods yes to everything with Apple in it, this is your museum!!
