A Stroll Around the Old Town
-
Morning
After breakfast at the Municipal House café, take a guided tour of the building, then go and climb the Powder Gate for the views next door before the caffeine wears off.
Wander down Celetná, ducking through the arcade to Štupartská and the Church of St James. If you have at least 45 minutes before the top of the hour, tour the Old Town Hall and watch the Apostles’ show on the Astronomical Clock from backstage (see Old Town Hall Features). Otherwise, shop in the Ungelt and join the crowd below the clock outside, to see the spectacle.
For lunch, backtrack to the Radegast pub for a warming plate of their famed goulash.
Afternoon
Circumnavigate Old Town Square before entering the meandering turns of Karlova and wandering leisurely past the area’s old buildings to Bethlehem Square. Have a tour of the lovely Bethlehem Chapel, then find your way back to Karlova to visit the Clementinum.
Alternately, if you’re now a little on the tired side, have a coffee at Café Montmartre before freshening up for dinner. If you’re heading to the theatre or a concert, curtains go up around 7:30pm, so it is sensible to dine afterwards.
