What To Expect?

Your tour begins at the meeting point in front of the gate of the Old Town Hall. Visit the underground tunnels, chambers and rooms of the Old Town Hall and witness the elaborate, labyrinthine structure that makes up this politically significant monument. Discover a few of the residential settlements under the Old Town Hall, with houses built in Romanesque and Gothic architecture as well as streets that were once bustling with human life but now remain abandoned.

Learn about the 27 crosses that represent the 27 Protestant nobles who were beheaded in 1621 during the Battle of Bila Hora. See wall engravings that strangely seem similar to the modern game of tic-tac-toe and even shops that were once pubs, bakeries and residences of merchants.

Additionally, you will also witness the Gothic Revival Eastern wing of the Town Hall that was reduced to ruins in the Prague Uprising of 1945 and the infamous astronomical clock or the Orloj. The Orloj is known to highlight and display the 12 apostles from the Bible between 9 am and 11 pm.
