Prague’s Astronomical Clock was another highlight of my visit! Located in the Old Town Square, it’s an absolute masterpiece of medieval craftsmanship. I made sure to be there well in advance to catch the famous show when the clock struck 2:00 PM.

The anticipation built as the crowd gathered, and when the clock finally came to life, it was mesmerizing. The intricate movements of the figurines, especially the Twelve Apostles, were fascinating to watch, and the details on the clock itself are truly awe-inspiring. The blend of artistry and engineering is remarkable, and it’s amazing to think that this clock has been captivating people for centuries.

The whole experience was magical, and waiting for it to work was well worth it. It’s definitely a must-see for anyone visiting Prague!

As a tourist in Prague, I couldn't miss the chance to see the Astronomical Clock, and it truly exceeded my expectations! Located in the bustling Old Town Square, this clock is a stunning piece of history dating back to 1410.

Every hour, it puts on a delightful show with the figures of the Apostles and other animated sculptures—it's like stepping back in time! The intricate details and craftsmanship are impressive, and I found myself mesmerized by the beauty of it all.

The atmosphere around the clock is vibrant, with street performers and people enjoying the sights. It’s the perfect spot to soak in the charm of Prague. I highly recommend making time to see this incredible landmark; it's definitely a highlight of my trip!

The Astronomical Clock is truly a masterpiece of engineering and history, and visiting it was one of the highlights of my trip. This iconic landmark, located in the heart of the Old Town, is not just a beautiful timepiece but a fascinating blend of science, art, and legend.

For those planning to see it, my top recommendation is to read up on its history beforehand. Understanding the intricate mechanics, the symbolism behind the figures, and the myths surrounding the clock makes the experience even more meaningful. If you prefer a more immersive experience, I highly suggest joining a guided tour—many knowledgeable guides will walk you through its history, the astronomical functions, and the legends that make it so special.

Timing is also key. Arrive early to get a good viewing spot, especially before the famous hourly show, as crowds gather quickly. The movement of the clock’s figures, the chimes, and the whole spectacle are worth seeing up close without obstruction.

Overall, the Astronomical Clock is a testament to centuries of craftsmanship, innovation, and storytelling. Don’t miss it!

3 GIORNI A PRAGA 🇨🇿

Prague Astronomical Clock

Ristornate forse più famoso di Praga. Sicuramente esperienza particolare (il cibo arriva su dei trenini), ma qualità non dei migliori.

We decided to come to the restaurant based off social media recommendations and it was genuinely a really fun experience! The trains deliver the food directly to your table and it is an excellent if novel experience. Most of the party had the three course dinner and it was given rave reviews. I had the Ribs and they were quite fatty and although the flavour of the sauce was good, the overall dish was disappointing. All the burgers however looked amazing!

I had a cocktail which included Caramel, Bacon Bits and Chilli. It is an acquired taste but very interesting.

We were served by Ivan, who was excellent throughout. He explained how it all worked and was on hand to clear away anything we didn't need and as there was limited space, this was very necessary.

Final point to say that the queueing to get in is extremely disorganised and especially on a Saturday people without reservations just turn up. Booking beforehand is the way to go and if you have a booking, make sure you walk past the crowds in the entrance to the host as they will not be able to see you otherwise.

The restaurant is very busy, so it was a good idea to book in advance.
We liked everything about this place.
The concept of trains bringing the food and drinks to the tables is very interesting. You are entertained until you get your order.
The burgers 🍔 we ordered were delicious.
The servers were friendly and attentive.
The atmosphere was amazing. You definitely go to this place for experience. I felt like I'm a child again, so exciting I found watching the trains.
The prices are higher than average, but it's justified.
The restaurant is located on a famous square, so it's hard to miss.
It's a great place for families with kids. Highly recommended.

Great restaurant with amazing food! Everyone loved their dishes. Great vegetarian and kid options. The trains are super cool and fun to watch. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Prices were fair as well. I recommend having a reservation because there was a long line to get in- with a reservation you can walk in right past the line. While our waiter was very nice,  the hostess was pretty rude both coming and going, but it didn't keep us from having a good time. Highly recommend!

Výtopna Railway Restaurant

Abbiamo improvvisato un tatuaggio in viaggio e siamo andate qui. Due ragazze molto gentili e carine, studio pulito. Se voleste fare una pazzia come noi, lo consiglio ahah

We were walk-ins just having a great day and decided to get little tattoos together. Their minimum price is 1000kč which is an excellent price! Bara was our artist and she did a perfect job. Super happy with my adorable little planet

Super great spontaneous tattoo at Minimal Tattoo. Bara done a great job and was super pleasant and professional. We only got fun little random tattoos this time, but we'd definitely like to go back for a more serious piece.

I love going to this place. The tattoo artist I go to is Amalie and she is great and very helpful :) I’m very happy with the results everytime. Will definitely be coming back very soon!

Minimal Tattoo Praha

Onestamente molto sopravvalutata. Carina, ma niente di più. Si può vedere solo da fuori

We went to the Dancing House Observation Deck today. Great experience. Perfect day in Prague. We ordered a few coffees and sat outside on the beaches and enjoyed the stellar views of Prague. The service was very good. Entry to go out on to the Observation Deck is about 150 CZK (about $6.50 USD). Worth it for the fees. We loved our visit and highly recommend visiting for just outstanding views of Prague, the Vltava River, Prague Castle and all the architecture.

Trust me, their burgers are the most delicious burger in the whole world. I’ve been there twice in just three days trip, amazing. and also the service views are amazing.
Services are good. The staff are really friendly. The second time we went. There was on Sunday night really a few clients so the environment was quite quiet.

The Dancing Building is one of Prague’s well-known modern landmarks, but to be honest, I found it quite underwhelming. While the architecture is unique, there isn’t much to do there apart from taking a few photos. It’s located on a very busy street with constant traffic, making it difficult to get a proper picture without cars or buses in the way. If you’re nearby, it’s worth a quick look, but I wouldn’t consider it a must-visit, especially with so many other stunning attractions in Prague.

Dancing House

Una delle cose più belle viste a Praga, vale la visita e il prezzo del biglietto (c'è inclusa anche la guida che vi spiega un sacco di curiosità)

Highly recommend to book online or queue up a little before 9 am to score a ticket. They sell out fast. Be aware that you will be walking up many stairs. One of my favorite tours in Prague

Must book before visiting. We got the 7pm slot. The guide was lovely ( think her name was Anna) she was very informative. The library was beautiful and well preserved. The history in the building was amazing. I loved the room where they monitor time with light. The top of the tower was the best bit, the views to the castle were stunning and the sky that night was so beautiful. I would definitely recommend this but must warn there is a climb up the stairs but it was worth it!

Beautiful hall and had a great time watching one of the daily concerts playing lots of classic songs!

Klementinum

Una delle cose da vedere di Praga è il Castello. All'interno, potete vedere anche altre cose come una chiesa e varie altre stanze. Non così imperdibile, ma sicuramente caratteristico.

Lovely excursion to see the architecture, details and history of castle. Fantastic views of building and looks out over the city. Extra tickets needed to go into chapel. Take in the gardens as very tranquil and atmospheric. Large crowds can cause congestion, plan ahead, hard to walk and the number 22 tram takes you up to gate of castle. Enjoyable walk back into city.

Views are nice, I only paid for the main tour which allowed you entry into 4 of the locations and the tower which in total 574 stair bottom -Top - Bottom. The main grounds are free to enter you only need to pay if you want to go inside the building.

All and all I would say it's well worth the visit even if you only go and look round the grounds

Such an amazing castle ever! I recommend you all to buy tickets in advance. The area around castle has opened since early morning, and closed in the evening. However, there are so many spots inside the area that open only certain times and tickets are needed. Please do the research in advance, get the tickets and plan very well. Beautiful and worth the experience.

Prague Castle

Ristorante tipico. Vasta scelta, gulash buono (anche se non è il mio genere).

If you want to avoid tourist traps in the most touristic areas of Prague and try the authentic Czech cuisine, this is the right place.
The restaurant is located on the ground floor of a baroque palace in the Nerudova Street with vaulted ceilings and they have some places outside, too.
The deer leg steak, the roasted duck with dumplings, the rolled pork flank and the goulash with potato pancakes are amazing.
They also have a good choice of vegetarian dishes.

It’s best to reserve a table in advance as it’s en route to Prague Castle from the Charles Bridge and prices are reasonable so it’s often very busy.

The food here was good but we ordered some dishes that unfortunately we didn’t like. This was our fault and the staff were really nice about it and came to see if there was anything they could do.

The mains we had were really good and mulled wine was fantastic. Normally it’s too sweet but they let you pour your own sugar.

The caramel medovnik cake was amazing but apple struddle was pretty bad. Overall it was a nice meal and friendly staff.

This place is definitely 5*. The food is extraordinary (the grilled chicken is outstanding), the beer is good and there are plenty of options in the menu. You can definitely tell that they know what they are doing. The atmosphere is beautiful, cozy, relaxing and inviting. One of the best choices in Prague.

U Tří jelínků

Camere semplici ma abbastanza pulite e in ordine. Posizione molto comoda, vicino alla metro e ai tram. 

Hotel Raffaello

We improvised a tattoo on a trip and went here. Two very kind and nice girls, clean studio. If you want to do something crazy like us, I recommend it, haha.

Minimal Tattoo Prague

One of the most beautiful things seen in Prague, worth the visit and the price of the ticket (the guide is also included and will explain a lot of curiosities)

Clementine

Typical restaurant. Wide selection, good goulash (though not my style).
