In their own words: “Another key location is the Old Town Square. This is the heart of Prague. And home to the famous Astronomical Clock.”

Admire the intricate details of the world's oldest functioning astronomical clock, but manage expectations for the hourly show.
In their own words: “Plus the city's famous astronomical clock, the oldest functioning one in the world originally placed here in the year 1410. This clock is definitely beautiful though it's always packed at the hourly mark because of the free show featuring moving figures that takes place. I'd say to not get your hopes up for this because it's honestly very short and not the most exciting show but the clock itself is definitely worth seeing.”
