The 10 Best Churches & Cathedrals in Stare Mesto (Old Town), Bohemia

September 14, 2021 Enriqueta Cusson

The bohemian allure and fairytale features of Prague make it a perfect destination for beach-weary vacationers who want to immerse themselves in culture. You could devote an entire day to exploring Prazsky hrad (Prague Castle), then refueling over a hearty dinner at a classic Czech tavern. Spend some time wandering the Old Town Square before heading over to gape at The Old Town Hall and Astronomical Clock. Prague’s best bars are found in cellars, where historic pubs set the scene for a night of traditional tippling.

Church of Our Lady before Tyn

One of the symbols of Prague, the Church of the Virgin Mary Before Tyn is the dominant feature in the Old Town. The church was built in the 14th century and used to be a primary place of worship for foreign merchants visiting the city.

Reviewed By wendyanddavid536 - Solihull, United Kingdom

Situated on one side of the beautiful Old Town Square, the Gothic Church of Our Lady Before Tyn is an arcitectural wonder, with two towers covered with spires, pinnacles and other decorations. It looks great during the daytime and even better brilliantly lit up at night. Inside it has a high, narrow nave with gold and black Baroque altars. There is also an excellent winged altar depicting John the Baptist dating back to 1520 and the tomb of the astronomer Tycho Brahe.

St. Giles Church

Reviewed By catharinebm - Dorset, United Kingdom

Booked ahead for concert here. Czech Phil Chamber Quartet plus International organist. combined concert. Acoustically ethereal sound due to extreme hieght of interior. Clarity of each instrumental timbre was unparallelled in my previous experience. Given fleece blankets on arrival which were NEEDED in Nov!! Quite amusing that almost every concert we seemed to see advertised in churches around Prague ( of which there were dozens....) was including Vivaldi 4 Seasons....Bolero.....major organ Toccatas....and similar repertoire..!!!! SO, we would probably only have gone to one concert even if we had spent more time in Prague! A more varied selection around the city would encourage attendance at more than one concert during even a short stay as the standard was marvellous, pricing completely fair and the acoustics stunning.

St. Clement's Cathedral

Reviewed By daigdude - Lighthouse Point, United States

Cathedral of St. Clement is a Greek-Catholic church in the heart of Old Town. We happen to walk by the cathedral's door early in the morning and notice a poster for a concert later that evening. As it turns out, this was one of the many highlights of our visit to Prague. The evening's 60 minute program by the Bohemian Orchestra was fantastic - very intimate and inspiring setting in front of the altar. Vivaldi's Four Season never sounded better.
