Unique features include the changing of the guard ceremony that takes place every hour and breathtaking views overlooking Prague’s picturesque skyline.

The Charles Bridge is an iconic stone structure completed in 1402 that connects Old Town with Lesser Town across the Vltava River, serving both functional and artistic purposes throughout history. This bridge holds immense significance as it was once lined with statues representing saints who were believed to protect travelers crossing from one side to another during turbulent times. What sets this landmark apart are its 30 baroque-style statues—each telling their own story—and vibrant atmosphere filled with artists, musicians, and vendors creating an unforgettable experience.

Old Town Square is at the heart of Prague's historical district where centuries-old buildings tell tales dating back to medieval times; it's home to some remarkable structures including Týn Church and City Hall with its famous astronomical clock. The square serves as a significant gathering point for locals and tourists alike while hosting various cultural events throughout the year such as Christmas markets or summer festivals celebrating local traditions. One unique feature here is witnessing how time comes alive through intricate hourly performances by figures on the astronomical clock—a must-see spectacle!
