What are people saying about Prague Astronomical Clock (Prague Orloj)

Prague Essential Tour Old Town and Jewish Quarter

David_C, Jun 2026

I'd been to Prague...

I'd been to Prague previously, so knew a fair amount beforehand, but this was both enjoyable and informative. For my taste, I would suggest a little more contemporary information rather than strongly historical would blend better.

KD_PragueOldTown

The walk of old town was very informative and our guide Yarno was well informed. He stepped us back in time and explained the history in as much detail as we could handle. There were just the two of us so like a ViP tour. Highlights were the astronomical clock and the Jewish quarter. The chimney cake was a bonus once the tour was done.

Prague Astronomical Clock Tower Ticket+20min Intro & opt. E-guide

Gordon_S, Dec 2025

A good tour, not too long and interesting.

As described on the ticket the meeting place is NOT by the astronomical clock but only 2min away. The guide was clear and interesting for about half an hour then time to ourselves in the clock tower itself with no time limit. Toilets inside, small extra cost for lift in the tower but the ramp was easy/safe/warm. Views were definitely worth it.
