suggestions on what to see in addition to Saudek?
What else are you interested in?
1. picturetaking
2. exibitions
3. beer
I'll be taking my SO, so we will probably be in tourist mode most of the
time, but I will probably take my MF and/or LF gear so any pointers to
scenic landscapes and/or cityscapes would be good. Also it would be good
to know if there are any tourist attractions that are just too crowded and
should be avoided at this time of year. I'm not much into people/street
photography, best they get out of the frame fast and don't trip on the
tripod on their way out.

I think you are likely to be rather unlucky in that respect in Prague.
It is heaving with tourists. The quietest place I found was the
Technical Museum (north end of the city) and the cafe nearby has some
good views over the river. I think there is an agricultural museum next
door (at least, there is a tractor over the entrance) but I ran out of
time to visit that.
There is a nice valley to the northwest (airport road - get off the
tram/bus at McDonalds) which is a pleasant walk.
Otherwise, you need very sharp elbows.
