Old Town Square, Prague

The city of Prague may be famous for its beautiful architecture but the real mystery of the city lies below. On this guided tour step away from the masses and explore a different city - one that exists under the cobblestoned streets of Old Town. Your guide will show you a part of the Czech capital that hasn't changed much since the 12th century. On your underground visit learn about the incredible history behind the system of rooms, corridors, and cellars that lie underneath Prague. During the tour, hear stories about the medieval period of Prague when these premises were still in use, and discover what life must have been like at this time for its inhabitants. You will also visit the medieval Dungeon and see the display of torture and executions.

The Old Town Hall is located on the Old Town Square and was established in 1338 as the seat of the Old Town administration. The complex consists of 5 buildings. The dominant part of the building is a Gothic tower and a unique astronomical clock, where every hour between 9:00 AM and 11:00 PM, the twelve apostles rotate. The Old Town Hall tower is the oldest town hall tower in the Czech Republic and at the time of its construction, it used to be the tallest structure in the city. Today it offers a breathtaking view of the Prague's historical centre. From the top of the tower, you can see the landmarks of the Old Town Square, admire the panorama of the Prague Castle in the distance, or be carried away by the view of dozens of towers, turrets and domes of Prague's diverse architecture.
