The Old Town Hall in Prague was founded in 1338 (the first in Bohemia) on the basis of a privilege granted to the Old Town burghers by King John of Luxembourg. It is also the first stop in our audio guide
St. Nicholas Church is located in Prague on Old Town Square. The present church is a baroque new building from 1732-1737. With an audio guide, we will describe its beautiful exteriors, which are captivating at first sight.
The Church of Our Lady before Týn is located in Prague's Old Town near Old Town Square. Its construction took place from the middle of the 14th century to the first decades of the 16th century.
Today's house is a remnant of a larger residence from before the middle of the 14th century and probably served as a temporary residence of Eliška Přemyslovna and Jan Lucemburský after they moved to Prague.

Today's rococo palace was built for Count Jan Arnost Goltz († 1765) of the Prussian Goltz family between 1755 and 1765 according to earlier plans by Kilian Ignaz Dientzenhofer and under the direction of the architect Anselm Lurag. The façade was richly decorated with stucco by C. G. Bossi.
The house served as a pharmacy, hence the name at the White Lion, and later became the Tobacco House, where the name House at Minute first appeared. A meteorological column stood in front of the eastern facade of the house towards the Old Town Hall from 1883.

It is the meeting point of all tourists visiting Prague. Interesting astronomical clock, but it is a little disappointing to wait to feel the hours for less than a minute of opening the top doors and see the figures. The atmosphere of the square is amazing, with all its bars and other buildings.
A visit to Prague definitely recommended for every citizen of this world. City rich in history, a page of culture and enchanting in the panorama
