Pick! A surprisingly nice little place with lots of antique trains and dolls, complete with English-language signs on most of them. There are not many things for the kids to touch, but there are plenty of mysterious mechanical objects such as music boxes and steam-powered toys for the kids to speculate about. There is a Barbie exhibit on the second floor that is quite interesting.

A great sightseeing refuge for tired feet, this quaint, wood-framed tram travels a loop from Vystavistê, down the banks of Malá Strana, across to the National Theatre, through Václavské námêstí and back to Vystavistê by way of Námêstí Republiky. It can be joined at any stop on the route.

Zelena 15a, Prague 6

Pick! When marionette theater died out in other parts of Europe, it didn't die out here, and the Czechs today are quite famous for their marionettes. "The Adventures of Don Quixote" (Dobrodruzstvi Dona Quijota) - loosely based on the novel by Miguel de Cervantes - and "Spoon River Anthology" (Spoonriverska antologie) - a more faithful retelling of the legendary book by E.L. Masters - are both examples of classic marionette theater and are performed by the Dejvice Theater's resident marionette troupe, meanwhile "Mehedaha Theater," (Divadlo Mehedaha) is something more like "performance art with music and marionettes," and features puppets and other objects created by Petr Nikl, the Czech Republic's newest laureate of the Chalupecky Prize - given to under-35's for overall excellence in art.
