The Old Town Hall is one of the most significant monuments in the Czech Republic. It was established in 1338 as the administrative seat for Prague's Old Town. Now, it is mainly used for the ceremonial purposes of the capital city, Prague. The historical town hall consists of a set of five medieval houses, the corner of which is adorned with a historical astronomical clock, a gothic oriel window and a massive rectangular tower. The lookout gallery on the town hall tower offers the most beautiful view of Prague. A tour of the historical halls in the Old Town Hall is a unique experience. The expensively decorated rooms date from various periods and are examples of the remarkable development of the town hall complex. The guided tours in various languages are organised in hourly intervals.

Absolutely LOVED this huge picturesque historical square and the wonderfully unique Astronomical clock, that does it's little music show for 2 minutes on the hour/every hour. Yes there are crowds but Prague is very popular - it's to be expected!! Get there early to see the 2 minute show for pictures/video, or eat at one of the restaurants that faces it (we recommend Cafe Mozart!!).

Took a day trip from Prague to this old town as there are so many photos & bloggers reviews about it. It’s really worth a visit although it’s a 3hours ride from Prague. CK castle of course is the no 1 attraction if you want to have a panoramic view of the whole town. You can take a leisure walk around the castle compound where each & every corner gives you different view of the Old Town. Take a short climb to the top of the tower of course is the only way to have a panoramic view of the scenery.It’s definitely a wonderful place to visit !

The Loreta church bells are ringing. But they are not just ringing, they are playing a song. The Marian song. So lovely, that I wait around for it. The performance goes on every hour ( 9am - 6pm ). The famous chime of the bells is part of my childhood memories.. Miraculously, they chimed even during the communist era, when I Iived in Prague. The small bells are located in the tall clock tower and are original. 27 of them are connected to the clock. It works the same way today, as when it was first created. The 6,222 diamond monstrance on display is called Prague Sun. It is sure to dazzle. There are many other valuable artworks to be seen. I enjoy the peace and quiet , the tranquility of the serene courtyard. Taking a tram to Pohorelec is an easy way to Loretanske Namesti . Walking down the hill from there is also an easy way getting to the Castle. We were staying in Hotel Savoy , close by to the church, for the first part of our stay in Prague. That made it very easy to spend more time in the Castle area that week. Our month long visit in Prague was pre - Covid. Prague was still full of tourists. I am very sorry to read, that the church is experiencing hard times now. After all those years. It is heartbreaking ! I hope and pray that the current situation gets better soon. Hoping, my husband and I will be able to return, once again .... Growing up on Mala Strana, Sunday's visits here with my Dad, are still remembered fondly. Very special part of Prague , indeed .... Till next time, Dekuji a Nashledanou....

Our hotel was near Vyshehrad, so we visited this place, which is a castle with nice church, beautiful park without crowds and amazing views on Vltava river and Prague itself.

A beautiful and under visited part of the National Gallery. A must for anyone with an interest in mediaeval art. It’s fascinating to see the altarpieces of the 14th century which seemed even ahead of the Italians in their ability to depict shape, form and shadow. Many well preserved wooden statues often with remnants of the original coloured paint. There’s woodcuts by Durer and Cranach too Also worth exploring the shell of the nunnery in the area below
