The Old Town Square
As you progress towards the old city centre you will see at some point the Astronomical Clock. This is one of the main attractions that Prague is famous for.
Finishing up with your photos, look no further – you’ve arrived. The Old Town Square is the oldest square in the Old Town. It offers tourists a multitude of amenities: anything from coffee shops to restaurants and beer houses. Beware though, some can be overpriced compared to local standards. A good idea is to stop here for lunch and admire the people passing by occasionally taking a photo of the beautiful scenes in front of you.

Europe's most beautiful capital
Because of a song called 'Prague Square', Prague, hailed as the most beautiful capital in Europe, has become synonymous with romance in the hearts of many. Although it later became known that there is actually no wishing well in the Old Town Square, it did not prevent many people from falling in love with this city because of a song.

Prague | It turns out that fairy tale worlds really do exist
I think: if the fairy tale world really exists,
then it must be modeled after Prague.
This city that fits the imagination so well,
riding the red vintage tram,
feels like traveling through the European animations of childhood.
Brick-red roofs and markets,
the bells that chime every hour echo around the castle on the hilltop,
and every street and alley below in the town.
Churches, horse-drawn carriages, vintage cars,
the city center's Old Town Square is bustling,
in the little taverns, it seems as if a knight is sitting,
dreaming back to the classics like 'The Three Musketeers' and 'The Nutcracker'...

Enchanting Walks in Prague's Historic Heart
My exploration of Prague was a mesmerizing stroll through a city where history whispers from every corner, an architectural treasure trove unmatched in its Gothic and Baroque splendor🏰. The cobblestone streets of the Old Town, the majestic Prague Castle, and the iconic Charles Bridge over the Vltava River create a backdrop that feels like a step back in time🌉.
Walking through the charming streets at dawn, I experienced the magic of Prague without the crowds. The early morning light cast a golden hue over the historic buildings, enhancing their beauty and grandeur🌅.
For those visiting Prague, a climb up the tower of the Old Town Hall offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the city. From this vantage point, the sea of red roofs and spires presents a picturesque scene straight out of a fairy tale🔭.
Sampling Czech cuisine is a must. Traditional dishes like goulash, dumplings, and the famous Trdelník (a sweet pastry) offer a taste of the local culture and history. Pair these with a Czech beer for an authentic culinary experience🍲.
Be respectful of Prague's cultural heritage. The city is a living museum, and preserving its architectural and historical integrity is important for future generations🛡️.
Lastly, take a leisurely cruise on the Vltava River. It provides a unique perspective of the city and a moment of tranquility amidst the urban bustle🚤.

Stepping into Prague's Old Town Square felt like traversing through centuries of architectural marvels. The square's heart pulsated with the astronomical beauty of the Old Town Hall and the captivating Orloj, an ancient astronomical clock. As I wandered through the cobblestone streets, vibrant markets unfolded, tempting with local crafts and aromatic delicacies.
The majestic Church of Our Lady before Týn soared into the sky, casting its historic shadow over the square. The ambiance was an enchanting blend of history and contemporary life, making it evident why the Old Town Square is a cultural gem. It's a sensory tapestry where the past seamlessly intertwines with the present, leaving an indelible mark on any visitor fortunate enough to explore its treasures.
In 2024, I wish to visit Finland.

Punch movie location "There is only one place where we know"
was attracted to Prague for the first time. It was watching Lao Xus movie "There is only one place we know", and later, I found out in many movies. Scene, when I walked through the streets of the city, my love for the city was deeper.
The Vltava divides Prague's east and west into two. The east bank of the river is the old town and the new town, while the west bank of the river is the castle and small town. Prague Castle, located on the hills of the Vltava River in the Czech Republic, is the Czech fortress and the most popular attraction in the city. It is also the official residence of the head of state, integrating political and tourist centers. When the sun sets, the castle overlooks the entire old town and has a beautiful view. The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the sparkling river, the back of the illuminated riverside couple, warming the swan playing in the river.
In Prague, you can see all kinds of architecture in the world, from Romanesque and Gothic to Renaissance to Baroque and Rococo. The most numerous of them are still Gothic and Baroque buildings. In the castle area, the entire Prague city is decorated with various spires and domes, which are connected to each other. With the title of "City of Thousand Towers". The roofs of these buildings are mostly vermilion, and the walls are mostly ivory yellow, which is magnificent in the sun, and thus has the reputation of Golden Prague.
There are a large number of small chapels in the cathedral, the largest and most beautiful of which is the St. Wenceslas Chapel, whose walls are decorated with gold-plated inlays and polished semi-precious stones. St. George's Church behind St. Vitus Cathedral stands on St. George's Square and is the best-preserved Romanesque church in the Czech Republic. The exterior is an early Baroque red brick building.

At 7:00 in the morning, there are very few tourists in Prague Square. This is a rare moment in the day. It is more of a young person who is looking for a Jay Chou wedding photo to synchronize with the idol. There are golden sunshine in the square, and there are also free flying white pigeons. The only thing that is not there is the wishing pool sung in the lyrics. Where is the wishing pool?

A charming city with a strong Eastern European style, poetic and picturesque medieval city style, the Czech Republic is full of romantic style
Czech charm is the need to sink into the heart and slowly understand. Astronomical Clock, Tyne Church, Rudolf Concert Hall, Manis Bridge, Charles Bridge, St. Nicholas Church... The most attractive thing is to stroll through a small alley in Prague to visit a small specialty shop.

Czech Republic|The best photo location in the Old Town of Prague
Slow down all the time in Prague and feel the place that has been a hundred years old in a street, just in the Old Town Square When I met the Easter market, I was more excited.
There are two places in the square that are very suitable for punching. There is a high platform in the center of the square, which can take pictures of the church in the distance. Another location is shot in the square of a super beautiful restaurant. Old town, so beautiful!
There is a swan beach on the opposite side of the Charles Bridge. There are a lot of swans and pigeons gathered. At that time, Jay Chous wedding photos were also taken here! Remember to go to the card ~
Yucheng in addition to walking, there are retro old cars and carriages, different choices, I feel quite interesting!

Old Town Square in Prague Old Town is one of the most visited places in the city!
Come to and from different attractions every day, it will pass several times here, but the scenery you see every time is different...
The most fun and happy place on the square, still The colorful bubbles here, every time you pass by here, have to play for a long time!
It adds a fairytale dream color to the city, and we are the princess in this fairy tale world!
There is never a shortage of cartoon characters on the square. The Chinese elements are starting to increase, such as this cute panda that comes out!
When I was almost ready to leave the square, it was near dusk. The St. Nicholas Church at the top of the onion tower at the northwest corner of the square has faded away from the bright colors of the day and turned into beautiful Silhouette!
However, the nightlife of Guangcheng in the old city has just begun. The night here is more lively than during the day. The square is filled with people from all over the world. They dont know each other, but they meet each other late. This fascinating city has brought people closer to each other...

I made a wish for Aladdin's lamp, and cast a hope in Prague Square.
I like to share it. Remember, "Follow"

Prague Square is known for the first time. It is the first "Prague Square" from Jolin Tsai.
"I am standing in the square at dusk in Prague, casting hope in the wishing pool, the group of white pigeons Against the setting sun, the picture is too beautiful, I dare not look at it.
After I actually came, I realized that it is more beautiful than I thought, even though Prague Old Town Square, there is no wishing pool
But there are Aladdin lights with bronzed faces, quiet and elegant alleys, crowds that come and go in a hurry, stray singers, musicians played by the devil, warm and lovely big white bears, big swings Very fat pigeons, there are also children who laugh and run at dusk.
And, the clumsy me who chased the light and chased the dream.
I opened the wishing pot of Aladdin's lamp and cast a coin, casting hope like Jolin Tsai.

Every girl has a fairy tale dream, called Prague
I like the colorful houses here, I like the water ripples here, and I like the air here is romantic and sweet.

Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic and one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. Its most famous square is the Old Town Square. The center of the Old Town Square is the statue of Jan Hus. The most distinctive ancient building in
square is the self-clocking bell. The name Prague is from German. It is called Braha, which means threshold. The reason is that the Vltava River flows through a reef, and the water is rushing, just like crossing a threshold.

Nietzsche said: "When I want to express mystery in one word, I only think of Prague." If you say that the castle that stands on the hill and stands proud of the whole city and the tower that is scattered in the load, represents her grandeur and mystery. Then, the alleys in the old town and the cruises on the Vltava show her romance and tenderness.
This is a city that makes me forget. Kundera's "Unbearable Lightness in Life" made his native Czech Republic go to the world and made it a home of literature; and Jolin Tsai's "Prague Square" covered the city with a mystery The veil. Today, Prague's fairy tales are still going on, and the glow of the sunset castle and the elegant music give the city a mysterious romance.
The old tram in the old town, the laughter on the Prague Square, the mystery on the castle, the red tile in the sun, everything looks beautiful, living here, maybe you can enjoy life quietly.

I stood in the square at dusk in Prague and cast a hope in the wishing pool. The white pigeons were facing the sunset, and the picture was so beautiful that I could not look at it. There is no corridor in the square of Prague. I am dancing and dancing alone. Not far away, you sing far away. Without me, you are really not used to it.
A "Prague Square", Prague has become the dream land of many girls, the picture is too beautiful, I dare not see it has become a popular vocabulary in recent years, but we have been deceived by Fang Wenshan.
If Prague Castle is the brain of Prague, this is the heart of Prague and the answer to the dream!
Through the Charles Bridge, go right and follow the navigation to the Prague brain - Prague Castle. It used to be the castle of the Czech royal family and is now the residence of the Czech president.
Climb the castle overlooking the Old Town of Prague, the old town is full of views, the Charles Bridge spans the Vltava River, quietly watching the changes of the historical years.

A "Prague Square", Prague has become the dreamland of how many girls, the picture is too beautiful, I dare not see it has become a popular vocabulary in recent years, but we have been deceived by Fang Wenshan. In the song "Prague Square", Fang Wenshan may be rhyming, perhaps for the sake of glory, perhaps his time and space is in chaos, and the Roman wishing pool is recorded in Prague.
Originally, Prague Square, there is no wishing pool, no promenade. Here, there are spacious squares, quiet alleys, although there are a lot of Christmas people. There are a lot of white pigeons, there are dusk and sunset, some people sing and sing, the air is filled with romantic melancholy, but the breath is filled with the ocean of joy.
If Prague Castle is the brain of Prague, this is the heart of Prague and the answer to the dream! The stone road extending in all directions, strolling into Prague's Old Town Square, you can climb the clock tower, that is, the old city hall of Prague overlooks the entire square. This is the commanding height of the city six or seven hundred years ago. It is still the time. Progress still retains the remains of history.

Prague Old Town Square has been around for more than 900 years. The old town hall on the square, built in 1338, is a Gothic building. To the south of the square is the famous Carolinum Palace, the oldest building in Charles University. However, the most attractive thing in this square is the clock tower. This bell tower, built in 1410, is famous for its exquisite chic bells, although the faade has been partially peeled off due to its age. As long as you are visiting Prague, you will always visit the Old Town Square to see this ancient clock tower, and the Prague citizens passing by the clock tower often stop to proofread their watches. Every hour, the window door on the clock will open automatically, the bells will sound, and the 12 icons will appear in the window like a horse-drawn lantern. This complex and wonderful self-clocking bell was built by a fitter with tools such as hammers, pliers, and trowels in the middle of the 15th century. It has been accurate and has become a treasure for people to watch.
Jojos trip.
I am standing, Prague, the old, the square... Jolin Tsai's "Prague Square", how many people have longed for the city?
This time I finally came to the fairytale world of Prague, but unfortunately there is no Prague Square and no wishing pool. The picture below shows the Prague Old Town Square, which is also the most crowded place in the city.
Travel Tips
Old Town Square is located in the heart of Prague. It is surrounded by many famous attractions such as the Tyne Church, the Prague Astronomical Clock, and the City Hall.
In addition, the Old Town Square is crowded. Remember to keep the items you carry with you to avoid losing them. PS: The exchange rate near this area is not ideal. If you want to exchange Czech coins, you can consider staying away from the center of the old city.
