During today’s city sightseeing tour of Prague you will discover all highlights of the city. The Old Town, founded in the 10th century, is a matrix of twisting cobble-stone streets that lead into Prague’s Old Town Square.

At every full hour between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. you can watch the procession of the 12 apostles passing by Charles Bridge. It is the oldest preserved Gothic bridge in the city, build in the years 1357 - 1407 under Charles IV, which connects the Old Town with the Lesser Town. On the Old Town end there is the Church of the Knights of the Cross on the right side and the facade of the Church of St. Saviour, a part of the Clementinum, the former Jesuit College. The Old Town Bridge Tower from the 14th century, is said to be the most beautiful Gothic gateway in Central Europe.
