Full description

The Clementinum tour combines three distinct stops: the decorated Baroque library, seen from a barrier at the entrance rather than from inside; the Meridian Hall, where solar timekeeping is explained; and the astronomical tower, reached by narrow stairs. The tower rises 68 metres and rewards the climb with views across the Old Town and river.

Reviewers like the guides' enthusiasm and the tower views but warn that library access is limited, lighting is dim and the stairs are steep. Tours run in the afternoon.

Reviews

The short library viewpoint was sufficient for this visitor, who loved the tower views but warned about steep stairs.
