Old Town Square Photos

It's still amazing without the "Wishing Pond" "I stood on the square in Prague at dusk and cast my hope in the wishing pool..." 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. Square Events The Old Town Square is not only a popular tourist venue, but is also frequently used for New Year's celebrations, holiday markets (Christmas and Easter) and gatherings. 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.
