About the City (Clicking on red colored text will link to more info or videos or official sites)
Malá Strana
Charming, entertaining neighbourhood. It may translate as ‘Lesser Quarter’, but there’s nothing inferior about Malá Strana. In fact, it’s home to some of the city’s most interesting tourist sights. Starting at the western end of Charles Bridge, and extending all the way up to Prague Castle, this picturesque and peaceful part of town is the perfect place to unwind. Cobbled side streets give way to huge public squares; and where tiny shops and historic pubs stand alongside giant churches and trendy clubs. |

It is steeped in history. First there are the picturesque, pastel-coloured Baroque buildings surrounding the square. Then there are the hero memorials – from the statue of religious reformer Jan Hus to the white crosses of Bohemian freedom fighters. Finally, there are the architectural masterpieces, from the gothic Týn Cathedral to St Nicholas Church. But the highlight of the square is the Old Town Hall, with its astronomical clock, hourly religious show. See the procession of the 12 Apostles. |
The Astronomical Clock
For over 600 years, Prague’s Astronomical Clock has been quietly ticking away, not only telling the time but also the day, the month, the season and the sign of the zodiac. It also shows the positions of the sun and the moon, with its medieval mechanics able to predict modern eclipses with startling accuracy. The original parts of the clock date back to the 1400s, but the clock has been updated throughout the centuries. Figures emerge from the clock upon the hour representing four evils and four disciplines. |
Charles Bridge
Magnificent, beautiful and iconic. The two sides of the city are separated by the Charles Bridge or Karluv Most, a 500-metre causeway built on 16 arches in 1357, on the orders of King Charles IV (monarch of Czechoslovakia). Today, the bulk of the traffic on the bridge is human – tourists in their thousands cross the bridge from dawn until dusk, snapping photos of the 30 baroque statues that line either side of the cobbled bridge and the impressive gothic gates at either end. |
