New Town Hall — Attraction in Prague

Radnice je komplexem několika středověkých objektů, z nichž nejstarší pochází z doby kolem roku 1377 (část ze strany Vodičkovy ulice). V 16. století byla radnice renesančně přestavěna na této přestavbě pracovali významní architekti jako královský architekt panovnického rodu Jagellonců Benedikt Ried nebo Bonifác Wohlmut, který přebudoval východní křídlo radnice s dodnes zachovalou gotickou síní, radničním Mázhausem, zdobeným křížovými klenbami z počátku 15. století. Dominantou radnice je veřejně přístupná radniční věž, z níž je krásný a trochu netradiční pohled na Karlovo náměstí a Vyšehrad. Ochoz věže je ve výšce 42 metrů a vede na něj 221 schodů. Vedle vstupu na radniční věž si můžete prohlédnout jednu zajímavost a tou je kovový pražský loket - dobová délková míra ve formě železné tyče, jejíž délka je přesně jeden loket, tedy 591,4 mm.

The town hall's dominant is the public tower town hall, which offers a beautiful and somewhat unconventional view of Karlovo námeěti and Vyšehrad. The stand of the tower is 42 meters high and you have to climb 221 stairs to get there. In addition to the entrance to the Town Hall tower you can see one point of interest, namely the Prague metal "Loket" (elbow) - the ancient length unit in the form of an iron rod, the length of which is exactly one elbow,...

Highly recommend to visit Nieviditelna Vystava in this location. Unforgettable experience. If you do not know, how to change the way you perceive your life and yourself just go there, spend one hour and be ready to be happy. Amazing place, amazing people, amazing guides. For one hour you become 'blind' in completely dark space and your only guide is a voice of originally blind person. To say that I liked it means to say nothing. It was crazy,it was amazing, the best emotions in my life during the...

The place of the First Defenestration of Prague

A large and imposing tower looming over the New Town Hall. The hall itself is mostly closed to the public except on certain occasions, but one can climb the tower and see great views over the city. The current building itself is slightly later than the Hussite era, but at the beginning of the Hussite era, the first of the defenestrations took place at this site, making it a pivotal point in the history of the Czech lands and all of...
