📖

Full description

The Klementinum is a vast former Jesuit college complex in the Old Town, and this tour takes visitors through its Baroque Library and up the Astronomical Tower. It is a guided visit that requires booking, and accounts of the experience differ: some praise the beauty and significance of the site, including its association with Einstein's teaching years, while others report language mix-ups and a very brief look at the library.

Confirming the tour language beforehand is sensible. The visit lasts around an hour.

Reviews

The tour was supposed to be in English and it was in the Czech language. I hate you with all my heart. Plus seeing the library a few seconds was a scam. This is a tourist trap. Don't go there.
