2) You can rent boats to go on the Vlatlava river, not sure the cost. You can also rent "City Bikes" in the old town square for 300 Czech krona. (About $12) for 2 hours & every additional hour its 50 krona which is about $2 USD.

3) All Jewish attractions close at 6pm (or 4 in winter).

This thread seems dead.  Either people don’t know Prague that well or they just don’t look in this thread.

Def no DDf members from Prague.

Yes there is. Google maps has an option for directions and you can choose public transit.

I took the train, its long but comfortable and definitely worth the few dollars to upgrade to First Class. I ordered to go food from the Chabad restaurant and they packed it well.
