Old Town City Hall & Astronomical Clock

This clock has been ticking since 1490 on the wall of the Old Town City Hall in the Old Town Square. Every hour between 9am and 11pm, visitors can see the Apostles (small wooden figures) appear from the clock. At closer glance, one can see mystical zodiac signs on the clock face.

Do & See

The Czech capital is small and compact, with hospody (beer-houses) offering the world’s best beers stationed on every street corner. The most important areas are the central districts of the city: Staré Město (Old Town), Josefov, Nové Město (New Town), and Malá Strana (Lesser Town). These are best explored on foot.
