Dear Friends
I will be visiting Prague for 3 days in the month of mid October.
Can you tell me the places which I must see / cover during my stay in Prague
I intend to buy a Prague City Card or a Prague Card. Let me know, which one should I purchase. And will it be useful.
PS: Museums don’t interest me, but I am a big fan of monuments and buildings.
Kind regards
Main tourist areas include ---
the Old Town Square, with the Prague astronomical clock. https://www.pragueexperience.com/places.asp?PlaceID=594
The Jewish cemetery, located in the Jewish Quarter, near the Old Town Square. http://www.prague.cz/old-jewish-cemetery/
Charles Bridge https://www.pragueexperience.com/places.asp?PlaceID=598
Prague Castle http://www.prague.cz/prague-castle.asp
This is just a brief mention. Any of the restaurants/pubs we found to be great. Prague is very cheap to eat and drink! Also, taxi's are very cheap.
For a day trip, there is Sedlec Ossuary, if you like bones, churches, and cemeteries, in Kutna Hora, a short train ride away. And if you go there, a great restaurant is Dacicky Pivnice, located a short walk or cab ride away from the ossuary. Has been reccomended in this forum, and I have been there myself!
Don't know anything about the Prague card, never got one or needed one.
We liked the following from Rick's list:

In the Old Town ▲▲▲ Old Town Square Magical main square of Old World
Prague, with dozens of colorful facades, the dramatic Jan Hus
Memorial, looming Týn Church, and fanciful Astronomical Clock. ▲▲▲
Charles Bridge An atmospheric, statue-lined bridge that connects the
Old Town to the Little Quarter and Prague Castle. ▲▲▲ Jewish Quarter
The finest collection of Jewish sights in Europe, featuring various
synagogues and an evocative cemetery.In the New Town ▲▲ Wenceslas Square Lively boulevard at the heart of
modern Prague. ▲▲ Mucha Museum Easy-to-appreciate collection of Art
Nouveau works by Czech artist Alfons Mucha.In the Castle Quarter ▲▲▲ St. Vitus Cathedral The Czech Republic’s
most important church, featuring a climbable tower and a striking
stained-glass window by Art Nouveau artist Alfons Mucha. ▲▲ Prague
Castle Traditional seat of Czech rulers, with St. Vitus Cathedral, Old
Royal Palace, Basilica of St. George, shop-lined Golden Lane, and lots
of crowds.
PS We didn't buy a Prague Card. We stayed in Old Town and walked everywhere.
I Have never used a tourist card in the city but here is some info on one of them
