Experience in detail
Waiting in line to visit a clock is not necessary with our fast admission tickets. And be sure that this clock of the 600-year-old marvel of medieval engineering is worth visiting. Our ticket gets you right to the front of the line, so you can visit the Gothic clock tower without any waiting and you can see the insides of the world's oldest operational astronomical clock as soon as possible. Meet our assistant at our Get Prague Guide office to pick up your tickets. While picking up the tickets you will get a 20 minutes introduction about the history and main information about the Tower so once you get there you will feel like you know the place.
Every hour two small trapdoors open where twelve apostles march out giving us their stories. There is also planetary motion, the zodiac, and more on the clock - and 75% of its parts are original - like the from-the-15th-century original. With your tickets, you'll get to skip the lines and take the stairs up to the tower. From there you'll have amazing views over Old Town Square and the rest of Prague's Old Town. On your way back down to Prague, you can think about the staying power of this clock. It's an appropriate occasion to call to mind the words of English essayist Henry Austin Dobson: Time goes, you say? Oh no! Alas, Time stays, we go. That ought to encourage you to make the most of your time in Prague.
