Prague *is* a bit like a Czech-culture Disneyland--a lot of it is put on for the tourists. But don't cheat yourself out of seeing the Charles Bridge or St. Vitus cathedral. The St. Wenceslaus window there was designed by Alphonse Mucha and it is the single most beautiful man-made object I have ever seen.
