Great activity overall, I recommend it. Be aware that the audio guide is not included; it costs an extra €5. The audio guide also had an AI voice that wasn't very interesting. Otherwise, this is a must-do when visiting Prague! Great 20-minute introduction with guides who speak all languages.

Prague Astronomical Clock Tower | Exploring the world's oldest timekeeper in action

The Prague Astronomical Clock Tower, part of the historic Old Town Hall, is home to the 600-year-old astronomical clock—a masterpiece of medieval engineering and artistry. Beyond its function as a timepiece, the clock tracks celestial movements, displays zodiac signs, and preserves unique medieval timekeeping traditions. You can explore its intricate mechanisms up close and delve into its rich history with a visit inside the clock tower. Climb the tower to see the bustling Old Town and Prague’s skyline.

Why visit the Prague Astronomical Clock?

1/4

See the world's oldest operating astronomical clock

Dating back to 1410, the Prague Astronomical Clock is the world's oldest astronomical clock still in operation. Its survival through centuries of war, repairs, and changes makes it a must-see for anyone visiting Prague, especially the history buffs.

Witness the 15th century's architectural and engineering brilliance

The Prague Astronomical Clock Tower is an architectural gem blending Gothic and Renaissance styles. Its intricate details, from the ornate astronomical dial to the finely carved Apostles’ windows, showcase medieval craftsmanship, making it a rare gem for architecture aficionados. All of this, blended seamlessly with mechanics, featuring multiple dials and displays, including an astronomical dial that tracks the movement of the sun, moon, and zodiac constellations.

Enjoy an hourly show for families with kids

The hourly show of moving figures is a hit with kids. Watch as the Twelve Apostles appear at the windows, the skeleton rings its bell, and other playful characters like the Turk and Vanity spring to life for a magical performance.

Watching the clock show surrounded by the Old Town Square's vibrant energy will give you an authentic experience of the city's culture and daily life.

Discover centuries of stories and legends

The clock is surrounded by fascinating legends—like the tale of its creator being blinded to prevent him from replicating his masterpiece elsewhere. Exploring these stories adds an extra layer of intrigue to your visit. If you are a curious traveler, opt for a guided tour that uncovers the rich history and fascinating stories behind the clock.

Accessibility is limited on these tours, with tall towers and historic areas featuring uneven ground or staircases. Please check this in advance if mobility is a concern.
Multilingual options are available across different tickets—choose from English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, or Czech for guided tours or audio guides, ensuring a language-friendly experience.
