A statue of King Wenceslaus (a normal statue of a noble figure on an upright horse) stands at the top of Wenceslaus Square. This sculpture by David Cerny hangs in the atrium of a nearby shopping complex.
This poster is for the Museum of Communism. In case it's unclear, it's a Matroyshka doll with fangs and a rather menacing expression. There were several other posters for the museum around the city as well, all depicting communism as an evil, foreign presence.
Most of the buildings throughout Prague exemplify the style of Art Nouveau. Mucha may be the most famous artist of this period. Below: one of Mucha's depictions of the Four Seasons.

The Children's Memorial at Lidice.
On June 10, 1942, all the men over age 15 were shot, 173 in all. All the women and children were relocated to concentration camps. The entire village was burned, and the Nazis exhumed the graves and filled in the lake. This attempt to erase Lidice from existence was done in retribution for (supposedly) harboring two special agents who assassinated Heydrich.
The remains of the farmhouse where the men were shot.
Other than a few memorials, the space where Lidice used to be has been left empty as a testament to the terrible destruction.
The picturesque village of Český Krumlov. It's beautiful enough to be a Unesco World Heritage site
The Castle
The Castle at Český Krumlov is unusually large for a city of its size. It also houses the world's best preserved Baroque theater - complete with sets, costumes, and original librettos.
