The old town square or Staromestske Namesti is an amazing busy place at most times of the day. It gradually builds in people density from the morning up until late into the evening. There is always a crowd around the astronomical clock which builds up to when it goes off at the hour mark. It can be hard to get through sometimes. The crowds will get bigger in peak times as we were there in the shoulder season. There is a lot of restaurants around the edges of the square which are touristy and expensive. If you do some research, there are some great restaurants just off the square that offer better food at more reasonable prices. Its a nice place with cobblestones and some nice monuments. This place has been a center for commerce and visitors for centuries. Some history that we don't have in Australia. Its worth going there to see it and feel the atmosphere of history that abounds in a beautiful old square.

loved it! Prague is absolutely unique! Very historical and mindblowing history! We have enjoyed every second here and I am very impressed by the oldest functional astronomical clock on the Old Town square! Very friendly atmosphere and we will definitely be back!

I was absolutely blown away by the beauty and history of Staromestské námestí in Prague. The square is surrounded by incredible architecture that dates back centuries, and it truly feels like stepping back in time. The iconic astronomical clock is a must-see, and the square itself is bustling with activity from street performers to market vendors. I highly recommend taking a guided tour to learn even more about the history and significance of this stunning place. It's a perfect spot to relax and people-watch with a cup of coffee or a Czech beer. I can't wait to come back and spend more time exploring this incredible place.

This "old town" square is indeed the very heart of this beautiful city. The square is surrounded by gorgeous churches, fabulous restaurants and bars, museums, and shops. Crowds are always a factor here unless you visit very early or later in the day. Note that the crowds get heavier near the top of each hour as people gather to witness the "show" from the old clock. If you can deal with the crowds, you will find this area to be full of ways to enjoy old Prague.

Me and my girlfriend have spent 4 nights in Prague and it is a truly beautiful, historical and interesting place and the architecture gives it a romantic feel. Good food and very friendly hospitable people. Definitely recommend for couples

It is, for sure, number one place to be visited in Prague. Guarded by other impressive buildings, monuments and having a lot of restaurants and terraces around, it is large enough to offer you a little bit of space in the crowd. It is a must in Prague.

We stayed at the Marriott hotel and this City Center Square is only two blocks away. The Tyn church, astronomical clock, Saint Nicholas church, the Powder Tower, and the theater building are all right here together. This area has amazing architecture and it’s fun to just wander around and take pictures especially later in the day and in the evening when the lights come on.

4.5 stars. This is not the be-all end-all of Prague. However, it is a stunningly beautiful city centre. I will always remember reading my book ('The Unbearable Lightness of Being' by Milan Kundera; a great book to read in Prague) in the square, intermittently pausing and looking up to simply enjoy the spectacular buildings. I honestly prefer the square at night; the lights make the buildings breathtakingly beautiful.

Beautiful place. We roam whole day. This is the old Prague. Since it was tourist season, crowd was there but we enjoyed a lot. Night we had dinner in a restaurant in front of the astronomical clock. Must visit this place at night. This place gives a Renaissance vibes. Don't miss the chimney cake with ice cream🍦

We arrived for our 4 day stay on the Saturday afternoon , checked in and walked about 15 minutes into the Square from our Hotel. It is stunning to be fair , the architecture , statues , churches and endless array of lovely little restaurants dotted about the Square give it an undeniably touristy feel without losing its identity , and of course the 600 year old Astronomical Clock. As I said it was a Saturday afternoon when we first visited and it was really busy , we got into the Square just before the hourly show on the clock and it was almost impossible to get anywhere near the clock , but that's irrelevant , you still get to see it and it really is amazing to watch something so old still doing its thing....Over the course of our stay we walked through the Square numerous times , stopping for Dinner or just having a drink as we were passing through , sometimes not as busy and sometimes as busy. It's definitely worth a visit , there is a lovely feel to the Old Town Square ...Enjoy
