One of Prague’s must-see attractions is the Old Town Square which tourists can find within walking distance from the Charles Bridge.
Going to the Old Town Square, tourists are greeted with buildings lined up at the sides and the Tyn Cathedral straight ahead.
The varied architectural styles of the buildings in the square make it an open-air museum featuring the Gothic styled Tyn Cathedral with its pointed spires, the Gothic façade of the House of the Stone Bell, the nearby St. Nicholas Church with its Baroque dome and other buildings.
The Old Town Hall with the Kriz House (pink building) adjacent to it.
The Astronomical Clock at the Old Town Hall’s tower provides brief entertainment to tourists with its “Walk of the Apostles” mini-show every hour.
Another view of the Town Hall Tower.
The House at the Bell (right) and the Goltz Kynsky Palace where the National Gallery is housed.
The Ministry of Economy building.
St. Nicholas Church
At the center of the square is the Jan Hus Memorial made of bronze by Czech sculptor Ladislav Saloun.
The Jan Hus memorial is a favorite place for tired tourists with its benches around where one can sit back and enjoy the great view of the surrounding buildings.

Czech in the pics has medieval vibrance! It sure will look perfect with a dark age theme thrown into it.
