A lot of Central Europe's cities are old but none have as much of the same architecture they had a millennium ago due to different wars and other factors which diminished so much other European architecture. This hasn't happened to Prague thankfully. You can appreciate all the buildings here just as they were when they were first built.
The city is divided into four quarters, each with their own characteristics. Star Mesto (the Old Town) is a maze of back alley, narrow roads. It's very easy to get lost in this part of the city so keep track of where you are going.
Nové Mesto (the New Town) is a lot more spacious than its older counterpart with wide boulevards and wide open squares. At 650 years old, having originated in 1348 by Charles IV, the Nové Mesto isn't exactly new, but it still is newer than the other part of the city and has kept its name.
The other two parts of the city are Mala Strana (the Lesser Town) and Hradeany (the Castle District). The first has been a popular hangout for criminals in the past but these days is a lot more civilised. Around the cobble stoned streets you will find St Nicholas' Cathedral, the area's biggest attraction.
