Old Town Square

Old Town Square is Prague’s historic heart, framed by Gothic, Baroque, and Renaissance façades. At its center stand the Jan Hus Memorial and the elegant Church of St. Nicholas, while the spired Church of Our Lady before Týn dominates the skyline. The star attraction is the Astronomical Clock on the Old Town Hall, drawing crowds on the hour. Cafés and street performers create a lively atmosphere, especially at markets and festivals. Visit for architecture, people-watching, and a compact overview of Prague’s past; expect crowds and premium prices, but superb photo opportunities and easy access to nearby landmarks.
