    I 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

    Touristiest 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

    Wonderful tourist spot at daytime turns into drugsellers gathering place at night.

    Prague'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.

    Spin around to get a taste of architecture history, from Gothic, Renaissance, Baroque, and Rococo, up to Art Nouveau.

    Beautiful 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.

    Beautiful 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.

    Great place in Christmas getting on top of the tower of the clock will give you a great view of the city from the center.

    A 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.

    A 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.

    Fabulous 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!!!

    Of 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 :).

    This feels like such a musical place. There's always some group playing jazz or blues into the crowds and brightening up everyone's day.

    Type 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.

    At the heart of the city. Get there by foot and you can admire the historical center as well. Slightly to touristy for my taste.

    Beautiful 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.

    Touristy? 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.
