In the Old Town Hall’s enigmatic underground we will discover not only former Romanesque and Gothic houses, but even an original street. The labyrinthine subterranean system is older than the Town Hall itself, and the complex of medieval halls, passages and tunnels is the largest of its kind in Prague. At the point where the unspoilt streets of Prague’s Old Town give way to the redeveloped Jewish Quarter, you will see how Prague progressively grew in height.

Good to have a guide in Prague

Two tours were combined because of low participation which gave us a nice small group. Prague is a beautiful city which has lots of tourists. It is helpful to have a guide just to manage getting from one interesting place to another.

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.
