All about the trip

Old Town Square is the heart of Prague's Old Town as much as it is the heart of the whole city of Prague. Perhaps everyone also knows the majestic building dominating this square - the Old Town Hall with Astronomical Clock Tower.

Save your time and instead of standing in queues to buy an entry ticket, pick up your ticket conveniently at our office located just a few meters away from the tower itself. There you will meet our assistant who will give you a 20-minute introduction about the history of the Old Town Hall.

Let's delve together into the interesting and mysterious history associated with these places. Let's highlight the importance of the Old Town Hall in the history of the Czech lands, and how it grew with this history into its present form. Let's describe the different parts of the Old Town Clock together, or listen to the most famous Old Town legend about the construction of the clock.

Every hour two small trapdoors open where twelve apostles march out giving us their stories. There is also planetary motion, the zodiac, and more on the clock - and 75% of its parts are original from the 15th century.

On your way back down to Prague, you can think about the staying power of this clock. It's an appropriate occasion to call to mind the words of English essayist Henry Austin Dobson: Time goes, you say? Oh no! Alas, Time stays, we go. That ought to encourage you to make the most of your time in Prague.
