A timeless journey exploring Prague's Astronomical Clock Tower

Begin your journey with an assistant familiarizing you with the rich history of the Old Town Hall and the Astronomical Clock Tower during a 20-minute introduction. Following this, skip the long queues and enter the majestic Clock Tower. Admire the clock’s allegorical figures symbolizing humanity's vices and virtues, including a skeleton for Death and an angel for purity. It also features figures representing vanity, greed, and lust. Notice the astronomical dial displaying the Sun and Moon’s positions, along with stars and zodiac signs. Every hour, two small trapdoors open, and the twelve apostles emerge, each telling their own story. From the top of the tower, the twisty streets and charming squares of Prague unfold before you.
