We waited for the clock to strike and were disappointed .We thought it would be more entertaining than it was. It was one of the highlights for some people as the place was crowded waiting for it.

Any Prague native will tell you this a must do. In the heart of Prague, the Astronomical Clock goes off every hour, on the hour and you get a show from it. Go early, as it does get crowded with people and be ready with camera/video for the clock. You can also go up the Hall tower if you'd like...

This 600 year old clock is incredible. One must look up the history and workings of this extraodanary clock.
This is definitely one of those "must do's". The Old Town Hall & Square are surely the heart of Prague and is a special favourite for all tourists.
Every hour on the hour, "death" rings his bell and Jesus & his 12 apostles come out to say hello to everyone in the square below. Below the clock are the 12...

We saw this very old astronomical clock toll a couple of times. The design, history and utility of the clock in the middle ages was unbelievable!

I appreciated it's beauty and age but the actual on the...

Maybe we had too high expectations. The clock itself is wonderful. What disappointed was the appearance of the apostles. We were expecting something more colourful and visible with much more noise. Still something to see though.
