Attractions in Prague

The Prague Astronomical Clock (Orloj) is the world's oldest still-operating astronomical clock, mounted on the Old Town Hall since 1410. Every hour, Death rings a bell and the 12 apostles process through windows above the clock face.

Prague Castle is the largest ancient castle complex in the world, covering 70,000 m² on a hill above the Vltava. Home to Bohemian kings, Holy Roman Emperors, and Czech presidents, its silhouette defines the city skyline.

St. Vitus Cathedral is the spiritual heart of the Czech nation, a Gothic cathedral within Prague Castle that took nearly 600 years to complete (1344–1929). Its soaring nave, rose window, and Mucha's Art Nouveau stained glass create a breathtaking interior.

Charles Bridge is a 14th-century stone bridge connecting Old Town to Malá Strana across the Vltava, lined with 30 Baroque statues of saints. It's Prague's most iconic landmark and a masterpiece of medieval engineering.

The Dancing House (Tančící dům) is a deconstructivist building by Frank Gehry and Vlado Milunić, nicknamed 'Fred and Ginger' for its two towers that seem to dance together. Its swirling glass tower leans into a more solid partner.

The Dancing House (Tančící dům) is Frank Gehry and Vlado Milunić's deconstructivist masterpiece on the Vltava embankment. Its two interlocking towers — nicknamed Fred and Ginger — twist and lean like a dance couple frozen in motion.

Wenceslas Square is Prague's expansive 750-metre boulevard, more a grand avenue than a square. It's been the stage for Czech history's most dramatic moments—from the 1918 declaration of independence to the 1989 Velvet Revolution.

The Lennon Wall is a continuously evolving graffiti wall on the Malá Strana side of the Kampa canal. Since the 1980s, it has been covered with John Lennon-inspired graffiti, peace messages, and political slogans—repainted constantly by visitors and artists.

The Church of Our Lady before Týn is the defining Gothic silhouette of Old Town Square, its twin 80-metre spires topped with golden finials. The dark, atmospheric interior contrasts with the sun-drenched square outside.

Old Town Square (Staroměstské náměstí) is Prague's medieval heart, surrounded by Gothic, Baroque, and Renaissance architecture. The Astronomical Clock, Týn Church spires, and pastel-coloured merchant houses create one of Europe's most photogenic urban spaces.

The Žižkov Television Tower divides opinion — its brutalist communist-era silhouette is either an eyesore or a landmark, depending on whom you ask. Sculptor David Černý added giant fibreglass babies crawling up the pillars, turning the tower into one of Prague's most surreal public artworks.

The Strahov Library contains two of the world's most beautiful Baroque library halls. The Theological Hall (1679) and Philosophical Hall (1794) feature floor-to-ceiling walnut shelving, original ceiling frescoes and the warm glow of centuries-old books — over 200,000 volumes in total.

Golden Lane (Zlatá ulička) is a row of tiny, colourful cottages built into the arches of Prague Castle's northern wall. Originally housing castle guards and goldsmiths, the lane later sheltered artisans and famously, Franz Kafka, who rented No. 22 in 1917.

The Obecní dům (Municipal House) is Prague's supreme Art Nouveau monument. Its concert hall — the Smetana Hall — hosts the opening ceremony of the Prague Spring festival, while the building's interiors feature original work by Alfons Mucha and a constellation of Czech artists.
