Got to spend 10 days there in '06, some in Prague (Praha) but mostly in Budejovice (in the US, it's spelled, yes, "Budweiser"), where my wife attended a scientific meetiing. Got to meet lots of local folks. One apologised that the architecture on one side of the huge town square was different from the other three sides ... because of the fire of 1255.
Surprising to me, a musical highlight was a local rock band (outdoors at one of the science-meeting social functions) doing excellent covers of American '60s rock (my era!): Dylan, Byrds, The Band, Jefferson Airplane, some Beach Boys, plus British-invasion, as well. Fun times!
