The Jewish quarter there is interesting. I was also there for the VFP conference. Yag and Doug were also there the same year. Yag found graves of his ancestors.

>Prague is great and English should be sufficient. When I was there in 2000 (for the VFP conference), it was hard having no Czech. When I went back in 2007 (on a tour), both the amount of English spoken and the food had improved quite a bit.

>One of the most striking things about Prague for me was the sheer number of concerts happening every day. I don't know whether Emily likes classical music, but she'll have the opportunity to hear some just about every night, if she wants.

>Prague is a very walkable city. Among my favorite tourist experiences were a walking tour that started way up high and would down for 3 hours, ending up in the main square, and a walking tour of the Jewish quarter.
