What to do and see in Praha 1 (City Center), Bohemia: The Best Architectural Buildings
The bohemian allure and fairytale features of Prague make it a perfect destination for beach-weary vacationers who want to immerse themselves in culture. You could devote an entire day to exploring Prazsky hrad (Prague Castle), then refueling over a hearty dinner at a classic Czech tavern. Spend some time wandering the Old Town Square before heading over to gape at The Old Town Hall and Astronomical Clock. Prague’s best bars are found in cellars, where historic pubs set the scene for a night of traditional tippling.

2. Old Town Hall with Astronomical Clock
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 26,938 reviews
The Old Town Hall is one of the most significant monuments in the Czech Republic. It was established in 1338 as the administrative seat for Prague's Old Town. Now, it is mainly used for the ceremonial purposes of the capital city, Prague. The historical town hall consists of a set of five medieval houses, the corner of which is adorned with a historical astronomical clock, a gothic oriel window and a massive rectangular tower. The lookout gallery on the town hall tower offers the most beautiful view of Prague. A tour of the historical halls in the Old Town Hall is a unique experience. The expensively decorated rooms date from various periods and are examples of the remarkable development of the town hall complex. The guided tours in various languages are organised in hourly intervals.

Absolutely LOVED this huge picturesque historical square and the wonderfully unique Astronomical clock, that does it's little music show for 2 minutes on the hour/every hour. Yes there are crowds but Prague is very popular - it's to be expected!! Get there early to see the 2 minute show for pictures/video, or eat at one of the restaurants that faces it (we recommend Cafe Mozart!!).

The Church of St Nicholas in Lesser Town in Prague, the most famous Baroque church in Prague, stands along with the former Jesuit college in the centre of the Lesser Town Square. It represents a magnificent example of the "Prague Baroque" period of the 18th century. W.A. Mozart himself played the organ in this church!

7. Villa Bilek
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 30 reviews
František Bílek built his studio villa in the Prague Hradčany Disctrict 1910 and 1911 according to his own plans and design. Bílek was mainly a sculptor and graphic artist, but his religious approach to art gradually steered him towards the need to create complex environments in which his works would find multi-layered function and roles, thus fulfilling Bílekʼs vision of spiritualizing human life. His architecture was mainly idea-motivated.

This was so beautiful- I can’t even imagine being able to live and work and create such sculptures in a home like this! It’s so special. He designed and made every door and piece of furniture and door handle and....everything! It’s so stunning!!! But very Very weird you can’t take photos!!! You can take photos in every museum on the planet. I thought maybe it was because they would then sell a book or postcard photos....nope. Limited not great postcards and no book in English and a pamphlet with black and white not great photos. If people could take photos they’d post about the place! That’s really weird! But just go and see it!
