🌇Prague Old Town Square | The place where the city's "story began" and where the beat of the Middle Ages still resonates

🌇Prague Old Town Square | The city's "story begins" where the pulse of the Middle Ages still resonates This may be the first place that will capture your heart on your trip to Prague. Old Town Square (Staroměstské náměstí) is surrounded by colorful buildings and is a mix of history and romance. This is not just a square, but a "living stage" where 1,000 years of time still flows. In the morning, you walk along the quiet cobblestones, in the daytime you are surrounded by lively music and the voices of people, and at night the illuminated buildings turn the pages of the story. ⸻ ■You can't miss this place! Highlights of Old Town Square 🔸Astronomical Clock (Orloj) The world's oldest active astronomical clock starts moving every hour on the hour in a "mechanical puppet show." Apostles appearing from small windows, the sound of bells, and even the movement of the Grim Reaper... You'll be left breathless by the medieval theater that begins right in front of you. 🔸Tyn Church A Gothic church with impressive twin towers that pierce the sky. This building, which shows completely different expressions during the day and at night, is truly the "symbol of Prague." Its silhouette at night is particularly fantastic. 🔸Old Town Hall Tower From the observation deck, which can be reached by elevator, you can get a panoramic view of the red roofs of Prague. At dusk, the cityscape dyed orange is breathtakingly beautiful. 🔸Hus Statue and Bench in the Square Sit on a bench and take a break in front of the statue of Jan Hus, a Czech hero. Just looking up at the sky with the sounds of street musicians in the background is a fulfilling moment. ⸻ ■Experience notes • Admission: Free for the square (separate fees for each facility) • Estimated stay: 1-2 hours (plus 1 hour if you want to relax at the cafe or observation deck) • Recommended time: • 7-9am: A fantastic time with church bells ringing in silence • Evening-night: A magical moment with lights and music ⸻ ■Access and useful information • 5-minute walk from Staroměstská Station on subway line A • About 10-minute walk to Charles Bridge • Cafes, restaurants, museums, and markets are scattered around the area ⸻ ■The best season to visit • Spring (April-May): A season when colorful buildings and floral decorations stand out • Winter (December): One of Europe's best Christmas markets is held, creating a fairy-tale-like landscape ⸻ ■Travel tips • The astronomical clock show is on the hour every hour!
