What to do and see in Stare Mesto (Old Town), Bohemia: The Best Architectural Buildings

April 2, 2022 Augustus Redeker

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.

Old Town Hall with Astronomical Clock

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!!).

St. Clement's Cathedral

Reviewed By daigdude - Lighthouse Point, United States

Cathedral of St. Clement is a Greek-Catholic church in the heart of Old Town. We happen to walk by the cathedral's door early in the morning and notice a poster for a concert later that evening. As it turns out, this was one of the many highlights of our visit to Prague. The evening's 60 minute program by the Bohemian Orchestra was fantastic - very intimate and inspiring setting in front of the altar. Vivaldi's Four Season never sounded better.
