Het is één van de attracties van Praag. De astronomische klok op het Oude Stadsplein. Elk heel uur drommen weer kluiten toeristen samen. Ze turen naar boven, in afwachting van wat komen gaat. En dan is het zover. Twee kleine deurtjes gaan open. Jezus en zijn apostelen trekken aan het publiek voorbij, terwijl aan de zijkanten vreemde figuren toekijken. De klok stamt uit 1490.

The historic center of Prague, the Old Town (Staré Mesto) is where you'll find the splendid Old Town Square (Staromestské námestí), one of the best places to begin exploring the city. Here, you'll find the Tyn Church and the Clementinum, along with numerous other fine old churches, as well as splendid old architecture dating back as far as the 11th century, while the Jewish Quarter, Josefov, is just a short walk north. A highlight is the Old Town Hall (Staromestská radnice), home to the wonderful early 15th-century Astronomical Clock (orloj). Each hour, it springs to life as the 12 Apostles and other figures appear and parade in procession across the clock face. Other Old Town Hall highlights are the Gothic doorway leading to its splendid interior with its art exhibits and displays, a chapel built in 1381, and an old prison. Be sure to make the ascent (by stairs or elevator) to the top of the Old Town Hall Tower for its fine views over Prague. Address: Staromestské námestí, 110 00 Praha 1
