It’s low season but still full of tourists, it makes it harder to take good pictures but definitely worth a visit. Keep the best scene in your memory."Prague>100km from BerlinHighlights: The Charles Bridge connects the old town and the small town of Prague.

You must have heard Jolin Tsai's "Prague Square", this song describes being surrounded by ancient medieval buildings Prague Old Town Square. But the reality is that there is no "wishing pool" mentioned in the lyrics in the square, but the fairy tale atmosphere that pervades here is enough to amaze you. Prague's Old Town Square was built about 900 years ago. It is a famous square in Prague's history. It is located between Wenceslas Square and Charles Bridge. It is also the heart of the whole city. In the center of the square, there is a statue of Hus built in 1915 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the birth of Hus, President of Charles University. There are various styles of buildings around the square, including Gothic architectural masterpieces such as Tien Church and St. Nicholas Church in Baroque style. The astronomical clock on the outer wall of the old city hall is very popular with tourists. It will tell the time every hour. The window above the astronomical clock is opened, the bells are ringing in unison, and 12 icons appear one by one in the window like a revolving lantern. People bow. If you are interested, you can also climb the tower of the old town hall to overlook the panoramic view of the old city. The roof of the city is almost painted red, and the spires of the slightly protruding bell tower church are all green. They are messy and messy. Neatly distributed throughout the city, the vibrant colors give the Prague fairy tale flavor.

On weekdays, there are many street performers performing in the square, and many local young people come here to take wedding photos. You can buy some bread to feed the free-flying pigeons in the square, or you can spend some money to take a horse-drawn carriage to explore the corners of the square. There are many cafes around the square. If you are tired, you can order a cup of coffee in the open-air cafe, and don’t miss grilled sausages and ice cream. It is a refreshing thing to enjoy the music and dance in the square. There are many small shops in the alleys around the square, selling all kinds of art goods, if you like, you can buy some as souvenirs.Show Less

The square is very lively, we have been here for a long time."Prague.Stare Mesto>100km from BerlinHighlights: The Prague Astronomical Clock is a medieval astronomical clock installed on the south wall of the Old Town Hall in Prague's Old Town Square. It has not only become a popular tourist attraction, but also a popular location for locals to take wedding photos. Every hour on the hour, the 12 disciples appear one after the other accompanied by the sound of the bell, which is especially worth seeing. Historical background It is said that the craftsman who built this clock was even blinded in order to ensure that no such clock appeared in the world. During World War II, the clock was almost destroyed by Nazi munitions, until 1948, the astronomical clock was restored, and a second restoration was carried out in 1979. The Exquisite Structure Astronomical Clock is a beautiful and unique self-ringing clock, divided into two upper and lower. The upper clock circles once a year, and the bottom circle circles once a day. The bell body seen is mainly the appearance that has been restored after the war. The core part of the astronomical clock was completed in 1410 and consists of three main parts - the astronomical dial, the Twelve Apostles and the calendar dial. The astronomical dial represents the position of the sun and moon in the sky and can display various astronomical details. The Walking Twelve Apostles is a clockwork that displays the disciples and other moving statues every hour. There is also a calendar dial composed of medallions representing the months. The background of the astronomical clock shows a partial view of the earth and the sky, the blue ring in the middle represents the earth, the blue in the upper part represents the sky above the horizon, and the red and black areas represent the sky below the horizon. During the day, the sun installation is above the blue background, at night it is above the black, and at dawn or dusk the sun installation is active above the red part. The blue ring of the dial marks the time scale with golden Roman numerals, divided according to the usual 24 hours of the day, which is Prague time. Gold curves on the dial divide the blue into 12 parts, marking each time period between the sun rising and setting, and each day of the year, long or short. On the hour between 9:00-21:00 every day, the twelve statues of Jesus' disciples will appear in sequence from the clock, 6 turning left and 6 turning right. The god of death on the side began to ring the bell, and the chicken above also flapped its wings and croaked. This dynamic hourly chime is the focal point of any traveller's Prague trip. In addition, there are four statues on both sides of the astronomical clock. When making clocks, people use it to represent four kinds of people. One statue is called "Pride", which shows the person who admires himself in the mirror; one is a Jew with a bag of gold, which shows a "greedy" usurer; on the other side of the clock stands "Death", is A skeleton, beating the chimes at every o'clock; the latter is a "Turkish heretic" who wears a long turban. In addition to admiring the astronomical clock from the outside, you can also choose to enter the interior of the old city hall and climb the tall clock tower, where you can not only see the internal structure of the astronomical clock at close range, but also overlook the view of Prague Square. Whether it is morning or evening, here will bring you different feelings.Show Less
