 | Prague Old-Town Square Reviews | 1 - 10 of 282 |  |
Just when I thought I had seen some of the most beautiful squares in Europe I saw Prague's Old Town Square and had to re-adjust my 'Top 10 Favourite Squares' list!
The heart of the city, this is a large and lively square surrounded by fabulous buildings and lined with cafes. The perfect place for people watching...though keep and eye out for pick pockets.
The buildings surrounding the square include the Old Town Hall, with it's Astronomical Clock; the Church of Our Lady Before Tyn; St Nicholas Church; and Kinsky Palace which contains an excellent collection of graphic art from the middle ages till today.
We spent quite a bit of time here, at various times of day, enjoying the way the look of the buildings changed with the light. Leave a Comment

Stone Bell House (Dum U Kamenneho zvonu) is located in the heart of the city – at the Old-Town Square (Staromestske namesti), in front of Church of Our Lady before Tyn (Kostel Matky Bozi Pred Tynem). It owes its name to the facade decoration – the bell appearing from the corner of the building. Stone Bell House dates back to second half the 13th century, but it was rebuilt in the 14th century as a gothic palace, and many architectural elements from that period, including two chapels with sculptures and painted decoration, were preserved.
Nowadays Stone Bell House is one of the most attractive spaces used for exhibitions of modern and contemporary art.
Open: Tuesday – Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Leave a Comment

Since Prague is a city meant to be walked, that is exactly what we are going to do. By the way, not to confuse my tour with the others, I'll be using a pink polka-dot umbrella. LORIPORI'S WALKING TOUR OF PRAGUE begins in OLD TOWN SQUARE with its famous Astronomical Clock adorning the Old Town Hall. Circling the Square is Our Lady Before Tyn and St. Nicholas Church - Old Town.
"Staromistke' Namisti or Old Town Square is as it has been for centuries -- the HEART of Prague. The Square is always a hub of activity day and night. Towering above the Square is Our Lady Before Tyne. Leave a Comment Directions: Heart of Old Town

The Old Town Hall on one side of the square faces the Church of Our Lady before Tyn on the other.
In summer, the square is packed with jostling throngs of tourists.
Something that is not well publicised is, that at the end of the Second World War, before they surrendered, German tanks trundled into the square and, in a malicious act of vandalism, blasted all of the buildings, destroying most of the original frontage. The buildings have all since been restored. Leave a Comment Directions: The centre of the Old Town
