Azad JanSeptember 6, 2016I would say it's my favorite spot in Prague. It's very energetic and full of good cafés and restaurants. I don't recommend the horse carriage tours tho. Walk around with a map & enjoy the sightseeing

ℳ𝒶𝓎♍April 8, 2015Touristiest spot in Prague starring the magnificent Týn Church, the fancy Pražský Orloj and the well-preserved buildings; not to forget the classical horse carriage rides and the street entertainers
fucking amazing ⚓⚓⚓October 20, 2015A lot of people every day . In the evening is always musicians ,dancing ,coaches with horses, delicious food etc I recommend try langos( it's like a batter-fried,from above is a lot of cheese&garlic!)
Upvoted 4 weeks ago- Artyom FedosovJanuary 7, 2017Wonderful tourist spot at daytime turns into drugsellers gathering place at night.
- Simple DiscoveriesSeptember 28, 2016Prague's central point. Come here to people watch, check out the nearby astronomical clock, or order a Trdelink (Bohemian pastry) and just take it all in.
Fluying ✅October 15, 2016Spin around to get a taste of architecture history, from Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and Rococo, up to Art Nouveau.
NmAugust 28, 2019The heart of Prague !! The most famous, crowded & beautiful square in the city .. A must to visit !!
Nouf Q.January 4, 2019Magical place to visit during Christmas market, I think it’s the perfect time to come if someone has Prague on must visit cities list! Open from late November until 6th of January.
Check this square not only during the day, but also at night. It has a special atmosphere.
- MuratNovember 9, 2023Beautiful architecture, great buildings and churches, very lively. Perfect for people watching. Some nice cafes are available with ‘tourist trap’ prices. Very crowded, watch out for pickpockets.
Mubarak AlketbiAugust 21, 2017Im love , active place , a lot of people in square interesting , 10/10 my rating ❤️❤️ best location in Prague to visit
Oğuz A.January 7, 2018Definitely one of the most beautiful squares I have seen. Visit during Christmas for the additional experience of the lovely Christmas Market.
Antal DánielSeptember 12, 2017Beautiful place, worth seeing. It's perfect if you want to see historical monuments and amazing buildings. I suggest to get a free tour, there are plenty of them in the middle of the square.
FilmsquareJuly 29, 2013Ethan Hunt realises that Kittridge suspects him as a mole and escapes in a torrent of fish tank water across the Old Town Square in Mission: Impossible (1996).
Gerson SosaDecember 14, 2018Great place in Christmas getting on top of the tower of the clock will give you a great view of the city from the center.
Gabriela MarquesMarch 2, 2020Definitely my favorite square in Prague and one the of the most beautiful squares in Europe. The architecture of this place is truly amazing. A must see!
Mahi DimSeptember 5, 2013Enjoy the beautiful monuments and have a cup of coffee in the nearby restaurants while all kinds of street artists perform all over the square!
The TelegraphSeptember 12, 2012A must here with its mix of Baroque, Renaissance and Gothic façades. Take in the surreal 15th-century Astronomical Clock on one side and Saloun’s grimacing Protestant martyr in bronze on the other.
Darleny LopezJanuary 11, 2016Most beautiful place in Prague! The church, the astronomical clock, restaurants, and there's always something happening in this place 💕
Grazyna OOctober 9, 2019A very nice square to visit. Hop-on hop-off buses, horse carriages... everything. Nice for strolling around as well. Beware of people wanting money for pictures.
Clare ThomsonJune 12, 2013Fabulous place to enjoy the afternoon and the views. Fabulous cocktails and the best Tiramisu in the world - beware, I think it is more alcoholic than the cocktails! A must try!!!
DanielOctober 27, 2015This is where prqgue starts to reveal its charm, loads of hustle and bustle and many cafes and restaurants to choose from and the architecture is greqt to look at
Richard RevillaOctober 29, 2014Of course the Astronomical clock is the main attraction. But nothing beats a warm summer night under the lights in the center of the city.
Beginning of the evening, sun goes down, the square is covered under a golden blanket, buy a little pivo and klobasa. Result: a perfect evening :).
Amit GaharwarSeptember 19, 2015Square of the Renaissance. Lively and bustling with energy. Street performers, people, food and history.
Hannah ParvazMarch 27, 2017This feels like such a musical place. There's always some group playing jazz or blues into the crowds and brightening up everyone's day.
Taste of PragueMarch 23, 2013Type in "Klaster sv. Anezky Ceske" and go. In 15 minutes, you'll be enjoying National Gallery's early Medieval art collections in serene gothic surroundings without any crowds. Eat at Lokal nearby.
Red VikingMay 15, 2019At the heart of the city. Get there by foot and you can admire the historical center as well. Slightly to touristy for my taste.
Ertan OnatMarch 20, 2015Street music will adore you. You can sit in a cafe and watch the living square of Prague. Give some coin for the street artists.
Dila AkyuzFebruary 21, 2016watch your pockets and bags while watching the astronomical clock show, old town square has really nice xmas and easter market,enjoy with the street food
Felipe BOctober 18, 2014Phenomenal light shows over the buildings in the main square, just next to the old Prague Astronomical Clock. Great evening!!
Jaume BorrasOctober 19, 2018It is a place where looking and letting yourself be carried away by the environment is absolutely necessary to feel Prague...
Jitka BajtlerováJanuary 26, 2016Beautiful square in city centre, one of the best in Europe, must see!
Jacobo NavarroMay 13, 2013Beautiful but take care with the smoked ham in the shops around the square. The weight in the menu it's just a reference, they will give you a bigger portion therefore you will be charged more.
Kwstas® Rap⚠January 23, 2017A must visit place in Prague where everyone starts the day from... From another century.. You may be lucky to see policemen on horses!
Jun ZamoraMarch 14, 2014The stall selling the traditional Czech Ham is really good with beer & a must eat.- Christopher RossApril 15, 2016I kept coming back here, just a wonderful place to spend the day whether people watching, dining, or being entertained.
MhmtaliMay 22, 2013A must here with its mix of Baroque, Renaissance and Gothic façades. Take in the surreal 15th-century Astronomical Clock on one side and Saloun’s grimacing Protestant martyr in bronze on the other.
Rudy TauscherNovember 19, 2015Beautiful old Prague monuments, art galleries and multiple restaurants. You can go watch the astronomical clock every full hour
Chung-yee NgoOctober 19, 2017Touristy? Yes but not in a bad sort of way. Get some street food while you wait for the clock to hit the hour and watch the show. Sausage and beer for cz100 from the stalls.
Sinem GürvardarDecember 25, 2016Lots of people from different countries. Famous astronomical clock is here. Moreover artists, dancers, musicians are all around🎊🎈
Live atmosphere and always crowded. It always has some entertainers to watch. Also many polices patrol there.
