Group Thread in Religion & Philosophy

Prague has the oldest intact Jewish quarter in Europe. 
Since I go to Prague every year (in the summer), I figured I should offer to pick up things for anyone from there.
Rabbi Loew is buried there, so they have little golems everywhere. Anyway, anyone is free to ask me …

Hey Everyone! I will be in Brussels, Prague, and Bucharest for 3 days each in October and I would love some insight from those that either live or have traveled to these places as far as fun things to do, where to avoid, and safety.
Thanks in advance,
XOXO,
