CZECH REPUBLIC: Storybook Scene out of a Fairytale

Every time I stepped out of my hotel into Old Town Prague I felt like I was walking into a storybook fairytale.

Prague’s Old Town (Staré Město) is the historic heart of Prague, centered around the famous Old Town Square.

Many of the buildings date from the Middle Ages through the 18th century.

 The square has been the scene of markets, celebrations, political events and, at times, executions.

If you’re in Prague a great meeting spot is in front of the Astronomical clock, one of Prague’s best-known landmarks.

The Astronomical Clock, known as the Orloj, was installed on the Old Town Hall in 1410, making it one of the oldest operating astronomical clocks in the world.
