The highlight of our visit to the Old Town Hall was the views from the top of the Astronomical Clock. The rest of the museum did not meet our expectations. When we visited some of the rooms were closed for another event and those that were open did not provide much explanation. I was expecting to find more information about how the astronomical clock functions but the only thing that we could see was some of the figures on display. For that, it's best to be in that room at the hour to see them moving. Maybe if we took a guided tour it would have been better. We also did a guided tour of the underground vaults (the only way to visit them) and this was much more informative and provided interesting information.

You have to join the crowd, and it was a very large crowd for what is a short feature, and wait for the display on the hour of the mechanical features of figures appearing with the clock striking the hour. Not a wonder in this day and age but impressive for a clock first installed in 1410. The Old Town hall itself is a very impressive building. We decided against the long queue waiting to try and walk up the tower.

We visited the clock and went up to the tower. It’s 250 crowns/€10,- per person to go up. On top of the tower, you have a great view over the city which is lovely to see. Visiting the rooms is also included in the ticket but there are only a few rooms. One room was beautiful to see. It took us 1 hour to see everything includint going to the top.

Beautiful clock tower outside with a display every hour. While this lasts about one minute it's amazing to see the genius that was possible so long ago. The view from the top of the tower are fabulous. Although we didn't get there in time, the tickets are 50% cheaper if you buy within the first hour of the attraction opening so definitely worth getting there early.

The hourly chime in Prague is totally worth the wait. While the crowds can be insane during the afternoon and evening times, make sure to come early to get a good vantage point. Regardless, you'll likely to capture videos of it in your cellphone anyways, so regardless of where you're at, you'll be surrounded by cellphones. The top of the clock shows cool figures and also they have a funny touch at the end of the chime. That was cool.

This was so beautiful. A clock that has been running for 600 years. Every hour on the hour the crowds would flock to the square to see the clock in action. So beautiful. The 3rd one ever built in the world but the only one still working.
