The Old Town Bridge Tower is one of the best viewpoints in Prague, offering a stupendous view over K náměstí and the towers and spires of the Old Town in one direction, and the Charles Bridge and Prague Castle in the other. The 2, 17 and 18 trams all pass by as well. The Prague astronomical clock, also known as Prague Orloj, is visited by astronomical numbers of tourists each year. It’s been a draw since 1410. It's the oldest working astronomical clock in the world. It's just over 600 years old. This beautiful medieval clock can be found in Old Town Square, on the wall of the Old Town Hall. Charles Bridge (Karluv Most) The first place in my Prague photo guide is the most famous bridge in town and central Europe – Charles Bridge. The visually stunning historic bridge connects the Old Town of Prague with the Mala Strana, and it’s the biggest symbol of the city thus presenting plenty of photo ops. The Church of Our Lady before Tyn was one of the sources of inspiration for the Sleeping Beauty Castle in Magic Kingdom. It’s also a stop that you MUST include on your tour of Old Town. With its Gothic twin spires and pointed arches, the Church of Our Lady Before Tyn has a dominant presence in the Old Town Square. Prague is a magical place, a magnificent cityscape of Medieval, Gothic and Central European modernism. Strolling over the Vltava on historic Charles Bridge, below the splendid Prague Castle and through the cobbled streets into Old Town square, as evening falls and these visual treats elegantly glow in illumination, you'll be hopelessly captivated by this strikingly beautiful city! iqH4m1x.
