The Old Town Square and the astronomical clock

The Old Town Square is the medieval heart of Prague, ringed by pastel facades, the twin Gothic towers of the Týn Church, and the famous 600-year-old astronomical clock, which puts on a small hourly show as figures parade across its face. The square itself is free to enjoy and best soaked up slowly with a coffee well away from the overpriced cafés right on it. We'll point you to where to watch the clock from, and the much cheaper places to eat and drink just a few streets back.
