Old Town Square and Astronomical Clock
If you really want to take in all of Prague’s beautiful historical buildings and monuments, head straight to the Old Town Square – just a 10-minute walk from Hilton Prague Old Town! There you can admire the mechanical masterpiece from the 15th century, the Prague Town Hall Clock, and see the towering Gothic towers of the Church of Our Lady in front of the Týn. Every corner of the square looks like a postcard and is a sight not to be missed.
Charles Bridge
There are few things more calming than standing on a bridge and enjoying the breathtaking view of the river, and Charles Bridge is one of the most famous in the world in this sense. It connects Prague Castle with the Old Town and is lined with baroque statues – the ideal place to take photos and capture memories of your stay in Prague. Visit in the late evening or early morning hours to escape the crowds and find a quiet moment of reflection.

Prague Castle
For another dose of history, be sure to visit Prague Castle and admire the architecture worthy of kings, emperors and presidents! Although the sprawling castle could keep you mesmerized all day, you should pick out a few unmissable sights before your visit.

But it’s also an important location due to the large events that regularly take place here: from protests and rallies to parades and parties – including the historic celebration of Czech independence in 1989. At the end of the square is the Národní Muzeum (National Museum), right next to a giant statue of St. Wenceslas.
