City Skyline: Views of Prague from the Old Town Hall Tower

The skyline views of Prague from the Old Town Hall Tower are amazingly breathtaking. If you are standing in the middle of the Old Town Square, the Old Town Hall is a dominant structure that catches your eye. The Gothic Tower has a unique astronomical clock that dates back to 1410.

Unfortunately, when I visited there last summer, the clock was invisible, covered in tarpaulin, due to the ongoing renovation. This clock is called Orloj. What makes it unique is that from 9 in the morning to 11 in the evening, the images of 12 apostles appear. Isn’t that cool? Too bad I didn’t see it! 🙁 Despite its makeover, the Gothic Tower was still accessible.

Best Time to go up to the Tower

I would highly recommend you go up there an hour before the sunset. You’ll be able to see the views during the day, at sunset and early evening. It’s magical! The red-tiled roof, the castle, golden domes, skinny towers, and numerous spires scattered across the cities are a sight you’d never forget too soon.
