Stand in the middle of Old Town Square, the historic centre of Prague's Staré Město. Take in the surrounding facades and use the square as your base for the narrow streets nearby.
Full description
Old Town Square is the central open space of Staré Město and a natural starting point for exploring Prague on foot. It is free and open around the clock, so it can be visited early in the morning, at midday or in the evening, each giving a different feel.
The square is surrounded by historic facades and is closely tied to nearby sights such as the Old Town Hall and its tower. A short stop of around 30 minutes covers the essentials, though many visitors linger longer.
