We have finally reached the end of our vacation with the last sightseeing day in Prague.
First on today’s list is a walk to Vyšehrad castle fortress and the Basilica of St. Peter and Paul. Afterwards, we planned to walk through Wenceslas Square and then return to Old Town and the Jewish Quarter. A full day!
10:46 am to about 7:00 pm. 8.55 miles, 23,713 steps, elevation +639 feet.
There are 17 bells and 4 large bells which ring separately or can join in the carillon. Melodies are selected differently for regular days and holidays and there are 50 songs altogether stored in the memory. Click below to hear the bells.
Every waking hour Prague’s astrology clock gives a performance for a courtyard of tourists. We were finally able to catch the show. Click below to see and hear it.
After the show, Richard climbed this clock tower as well.
