Stare Mesto (Old Town)
Staré Mesto (Old Town)
On a sunny summer weekend, Old Town Square will be so packed with revelers you might think a rock concert was coming up. The 15th-century astronomical clock, which is on one side of the town hall, has a procession of 12 apostles that make their rounds when certain hours strike. From another side, the Church of Our Lady before Týn's Gothic spires and the solid gold effigy of the Virgin Mary keep watch over onlookers.
