Prague - More than Just Poker
With dozens of events, including three major championships taking place in Prague next week, it's easy to forget that there's more to the city than just poker tournaments. If you bust out on Day 1A, you won't be short of things to do there.
Prague's tourist attractions

Over a thousand years old and one of the most visited cities in Europe, Prague is full of sights and venues that won't disappoint.
Beautiful, aged and wonderful in the traditional tourist traps but tainted by Communism as you explore further, Prague has a rich culture and history.
Hundreds of concert halls, theatres and galleries exemplify Prague's culture and love of music - Prague hosts several music festivals throughout the year.
There are several renowned museums in Prague, including the National Museum and the Jewish Museum. Prague Zoo is listed among the world's best zoos.
Eat, drink and be merry
If you need refuelling and relaxation after seeing the sights of Prague, the city certainly provides. Firstly and most importantly, you will find obscenely cheap alcohol at less than €0.5 per pint.
Furthermore, the food is superb, with soup, dumplings and pastries being notable specialities.
Those looking to live it up after a hard day's grind need look no further. Prague has a host of clubs and bars to suit all tastes, from those who want to sit quietly and chat with a cheap pint or several, to those who want to do some serious damage to their brain with liquor and loud music.
