Suffering from colds, my husband and I knew we could not stand in the crowd gathering to watch the hourly event at the Astronomical Clock -- but the Grand Cafe Praha, directly across the street, has tables in front of windows directly across from the clock. Grab one of those of tables at the window, enjoy some refreshments and get... more

Old Square, Town Hall and Clock were lovely to see early in the morning, before the crowds appear. Even whencrowded, the atmosphere is still lovely. However, BEWARE of changing money around this area. I was standing waiting at a money exchange booth, when my husband was approached by a small, well-dressed, possibly Indian man, offering a better rate than the... more

It's funny just how large the crowd gets for the same show every hour. But you will probably watch it more than once. The sound the doors make when they closed made me laugh every time. Don't worry about getting a great spot early, it's not a big deal, as you can see from wherever you are. The clock isn't... more

The clock is very tall and impressive. This is a must-see site in Prague, and a tourist should be sure to be there when the clock strikes to see the figures. Inside is tourist information with many brochures as well as vendors attempting to sell tickets to musical performances. Opposite the clock are several bars with high prices by Czech... more

Take a seat, enjoy a coffee overlooking this unusual attraction. The Apostles' show is over very quickly but it is worth seeing at least once! more

Both Old Town Hall and Astronomical clock are at the historic center of Prague. Especially the astronomical clock is the most known place of interest in Prague. It's the place that people meet each other and its the place that people, tourist mainly choose to drink a coffee or eat. You can't visit Prague without seeing it. The astronomical clock... more
