The Prague Astronomical Clock is undeniably an amazing marvel of engineering and artistry. Its intricate design, historical significance, and the mesmerizing astronomical displays make it a must-see attraction in Prague.

Upon arriving at the Old Town Square to see the clock, however, I was met with incredibly dense crowds. The popularity of this iconic landmark often leads to large gatherings of tourists and locals alike, making it quite challenging to get a close view of the clock without navigating through the throngs of people.

Despite the crowd, once I managed to find a good vantage point, the experience was truly captivating. The clock's intricate mechanisms, including the moving figures and the astronomical dial, are a testament to centuries-old craftsmanship and ingenuity. Watching the hourly show, where the figures come to life and the clock displays its astronomical features, was a memorable and enchanting moment.

While the crowds can be overwhelming, especially during peak tourist seasons, the Prague Astronomical Clock remains a must-visit attraction for its historical significance and captivating displays that transport visitors back in time to the medieval era.

As we walked past the clock, the square bustled with crowds, pulsating with vibrant energy. Suddenly, the church doors swung open, revealing two brides stepping out, emanating joy that enveloped the entire square. The clock's grandeur surpassed expectations, its intricate details and imposing size adding to its allure, making the moment even more magical.

Remarkable in every way, be sure to take the time to watch the clock components celebrate the top of the hour and see the skeleton ring the bell. And incredible work of engineering, standing the test of time, and a great way to mark where to meet your friends when going to dinner at night.

What a magnificent time piece located in very very busy area of the square. It is an impressive apparatus.

I was not aware you could enter the building as there seemed to be lots of groups standing in from of the clock, outside, been spoke to by numerous guides.

Prague astronomical clock is located in Old town square with many historical structures like Gothic Church of Our Lady before Týn, St. Nicholas Church and so on.
This clock is attached to the Old town Hall and was first installed in 1410, making it the third-oldest astronomical clock in the world and the oldest one still in operation. (Amazing!)
It seems it works very complicatedly with astronomical dial, statues of various Catholic saints or so.
Hence please refer to any other good sites explaining in detail if you want to know further (^^)
What is really famous is that there is an hourly show of moving Apostle figures and other sculptures, notably a figure of a skeleton that represents Death, striking the time. (please check with my movie attached)
To see this tremendous performance of the clock, hundreds of people gathered but they soon found that this show ends quite quickly if they just arrived just after show began. (So I think recording it is something mandatory to review it again.)

If you go to Prague it is mandatory to go and see it. It is already wonderful from the outside, the ticket price is negligible compared to the view it offers over the city. For those who suffer from vertigo I recommend taking the lift up, otherwise everything is perfect. If you go up on foot it's a bit of effort but it's worth it.

An absolutely must see for everyone who's visiting Prague!
I highly suggest to go on the top and take photos/videos because you can get a great view of all the city from 4 different sides. The price is 12 € if you choose to use steps instead of elevator (they're very easy to climb). You can also visit the historical interiors of the building.
