Astronomical Clock

In the heart of Old Town Square, Prague’s Astronomical Clock doesn’t just tell time—it performs it. Every hour, the tiny wooden Apostles appear in a ritual watched by crowds below, a tradition that’s been ticking for over six centuries. But the real magic isn’t just in the show; it’s in the clock’s quiet resilience.

During the war, locals bricked it up to shield it from bombing—hiding it like a treasure, only to reveal it again once peace returned. Gothic art meets medieval astronomy here, tracking the sun, the moon, and the rhythm of the city itself. Grab a coffee, stand beneath its chime, and feel how Prague folds its history into the present, minute by minute.
