The clock itself is breathtaking and beautifully preserved - one of the most beautiful buildings to see in Prague. The only downside is the massive crowd you can expect in the square during heavy tourist months like July. We were there for a week at various times during the day, and the square was always teeming with people. Wear sunscreen, comfy shoes, and breathable clothes if you're visiting during summer.

I have had the clock on my bucket list for decades! Our tour guide was excellent! It is a shame that tourists cannot directly see the clockworks, but everything else was amazing!

Visit early morning.. around 6:00 7:00 am if possible to get some nice pics.. otherwise this place becomes very very crowded. Visit again later to visit the tower. The view from the tower is spectacular.

The astronomical clock itself is a must-to-see, with a little show at every hour. Although, I recommend learning a little bit more about this place beforehand, so you are not completely Clueless when coming to this tower. A part of this review is also the viewpoint on top of the tower, which I'd love to review separately, but someone has decided these places are merged into one. Let's say it simply: the top of the tower is not worth it. First of all, the price is ridiculously high. 300 CZK (12 EUR) per person? Additional 100 CZK (4 EUR) per a person to use an elevator to get to the top of the tower? You can use this ticket for other parts of the town hall, too, but you must pay even more then. This all just for a tower tall 42 meters. Second, we were not even aware of the additional surcharge for taking the elevator. So, if you want to take it, you must first ask for this when buying the ticket. The ladies at the elevator made this clear in quite an unfriendly way. So, I do recommend visiting the astronomical clock from outside. But I don't recommend going to the top of the tower.

The clock looks amazing, and the astronomical features make it truly mesmerizing. Exploring the various mechanisms is absolutely fascinating. Purchase a ticket and head to the top of the tower for a panoramic view of Prague's major attractions. Don't miss the chance to enjoy these stunning city views from the top of the clock tower - it's a must if you're in Prague.
