Visitor Information

The Prague Information Service maintains three helpful information offices—the most useful, and most overcrowded, is in the former Town Hall building (just to the left of the clock tower) on Old Town Square. The office can advise on walking tours, as well as answer basic questions and arrange accommodation.
