Prague is even more beautiful at this time of year. We have vacancies in several of our Prague apartments for January. The 2011 Prague Winter Festival is the 39th consecutive festival and each year the festival has gone from strength to strength. Prague opera and ballet is world famous, boasting some of the finest opera performances in some of the most stunning opera houses in Europe. The festival runs for five days from the 02 January to the 07 January and features many opportunities for you to enjoy opera, ballet and classical music performances in the Estates Theatre, The Prague State Opera, The National Theatre and the famous Dvorak Hall of the Prague Rudolfinum. Choose our apartments on Wenceslas Square or Jungmannova and you can stroll to any of the above events within a few minutes. 

Prague Astronomical Clock

If you are staying in any of our Prague apartments, just a short walk away you can visit the Astronomical clock in Old Town Square, one of Prague’s most visited tourist destinations. The clock was built on to the Old Town City Hall. It includes a clock dial, which follows the movement of the sun, and a calendar. It is very unique, and crowds gather to see its famous chime movement on the hour.
One segment of the clock was made in 1410, and completed in 1490 when the calendar dial was added. The clock later suffered a large amount of damage when Germans attempted to shut down revolts. It was restored and this October the clock celebrated its 600th anniversary.
All King Wenceslas apartments on the Escapetoprague website are just a short stroll from this famous landmark.
