Prague: Old Town Hall Tower + Old Town & Jewish Quarter Tour｜Czechia

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 with a chapel and a unique astronomical clock, where every hour between 9:00 AM and 11:00 PM, the twelve apostles rotate.

Start your visit to Prague by exploring the Old Town Hall, the Old Town's dominant landmark. You can first take the staircase to the third-floor viewing gallery of the 70-meter-tall tower and enjoy the views, or join the guided tour of the Old Town and Jewish Quarter first and save the tower views for later in the evening.

The Old Town and Jewish Quarter tour starts every day at 11:30, and entrance to the Old Town Hall is available during opening hours on the reserved day.

The Old Town & Jewish Quarter tour
Prague’s imaginary heart is the Old Town, and at its heart lies Old Town Square with the Cathedral of Our Lady before Týn and the Old Town Hall with the Astronomical Clock - the smart watch of its day. From here it is only a short walk to the Jewish Town, which is probably the most mysterious part of Prague. Here you’ll learn more about the Golem and the turbulent history of the Jewish community and its inhabitants.
