Prague Astronomical Clock: Entry Ticket + Introduction + Optional Audio Guide

About This Experience

Discover the history of the Old Town Hall and its Astronomical Clock during a 20-minute introduction in English, then explore the venue at your own pace. Learn about the building’s role in the history of the Czech lands, how it developed into its present form, and the legend behind the clock’s construction. See how the clock works as two small trapdoors open every hour and 12 apostles emerge, alongside displays of planetary movements and the zodiac. Around 75% of the clock’s parts are original components from the 15th century. Enjoy views of Prague from the Gothic-style Clock Tower. You can also explore Old Town Square with an optional audio guide that covers the history of nearby buildings and monuments, including St. Nicholas Church and the Jan Hus Monument. Use the audio guide (if the option is selected) and follow the recommended route on the map to discover the area's main points of interest.
