Novomestská radnice

  • Address: Karlovo nám. at Vodickova, Nové Mesto, Prague, Bohemia

Fodor's Review:

At the northern edge of Karlovo námestí, the New Town Hall has a late-Gothic tower similar to that of the Old Town Hall, as well as three tall Renaissance gables. The first defenestration in Prague occurred here on July 30, 1419, when a mob of townspeople, followers of the martyred religious reformer Jan Hus, hurled Catholic town councillors out the windows. Historical exhibitions and contemporary art shows are held regularly in the gallery, and you can climb the tower for a view of the New Town.

  • Cost: Tower 40 Kc; gallery admission varies by exhibition
  • Open: Tower May-Sept., Tues.-Sun. 10-6; gallery Tues.-Sun. 10-6
