Things to do: visit old town Prague (3 days max) and enjoy drinking a beer below Astronomical Clock, Watch a Hockey game with Sparta Praha team supporters, Take a 2 hour boat trip from Bystrc to Brno Lake, Visit old mining town Kutna Hora founded in the 13th century and famous for its silver mines, Travel south Bohemian countryside up to Cesky Krumlov's World Heritage-listed castle, ...
Music: for some reason, they are listening a lot to 80's and 90's music (Rock, pop, Electro...), on the radio (can you believe Rick Astley was singing while I was eating a XXL choucroute?), in many bars or clubs, and even in the hockey arena (AC/DC, Iron Maiden, ...)
It is also not rare to hear that Swedish rock band song from 1986 : "The Final countdown"...
Weather: Best time to go is between May and September
