  • Are these details incorrect?

  • The Klementinum was originally founded as a Chapel to St. Clement and eventually became a Jesuit university. Now it houses the national library and you can see it by tour or going to a concert in the Mirror Chapel there. Taking the last tour of the day you'll start off in the Mirror Chapel with an ornate baroque organ, peek into the mammoth library with painted ceilings, and carefully climb the stairs to see each level of the tower's science experiments, especially on astronomy. Your tour will end at the top of the tower with a fabulous view of the sunset and the whole city right from the middle of the Old Town.
