About Old Town Square and the Astronomical Clock

On Old Town Square, the clock has an audience and the facades set the stage. Look for the pointed towers of the Church of Our Lady before Týn and the Jan Hus monument before you approach the Orloj, on the old town hall.

The procession of the apostles is brief; the dials deserve a longer look. Visiting the inside of the town hall and the tower requires a ticket and offers an elevated view over the Old Town rooftops.
