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.
