Seven towers. Seven stories.
As you explore this site, look for the symbols of the seven towers in Prague to learn more about them.
Old Town Hall
A tale of greatness
The sun appears on the main hour hand of the Old Town Astronomical Clock. Legend has it that after brilliant clockmaker Master Hanuš made the clock what it is today, the councilors of Prague blinded him out of fear his greatness would lead him to create another such beautiful clock elsewhere.
A new era of luxury
Located in Old Town on the banks of the Vltava River, the Fairmont Golden Prague is an icon of the city. And after a multi-million-euro renovation, this treasured hotel’s brutalist façade blends seamlessly with Czech artistry and modern comfort. Relish your time here as you enjoy:
- Elegant rooms with views of the Vltava River, a lush courtyard, or the Old Town Square
- Six exquisite restaurants and bars offering both fine dining and casual Czech fare
- A spa so relaxing, it’s really more of a wellness sanctuary

“The music is not in the notes, but in the silence in between.”
—Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Prague loved Mozart, and the feeling quickly became mutual. His first celebrated visit to Prague came in 1787, which also marked the first performance of the “Prague Symphony,” and he returned to premiere “Don Giovanni” and other pieces.
Old Town Bridge Tower
A tale of loyalty
According to ancient myth, Halcyone, daughter of Aeolus (king of the winds), was turned into a kingfisher by the gods, who were moved by her love and loyalty for her deceased husband.
Delve into the city's history
Prague Castle and
St Vitus Cathedral
The former seat of Czech kings, Prague Castle is the world’s largest ancient castle complex, covering an area bigger than seven football fields. Nearby St Vitus Cathedral was built over 600 years, a masterpiece of Gothic style, colorful stained-glass windows, and gilded walls.
OLD TOWN SQUARE AND
ASTRONOMICAL CLOCK
Founded in the 12th century, the city’s principal square features Gothic and baroque churches, a rococo palace, and other colorful buildings. Its centerpiece is the Old Town Hall’s Astronomical Clock. Every hour, on the hour, the clock comes to life, with Death ringing a bell and the 12 Apostles parading past the clock’s windows.
St Nicholas Bell Tower
A tale of art
Only one of the four bells that once hung here remains to celebrate the artistry of its creator, Brickí of Cimperka, possibly the greatest Czech bell maker of all time. This symbol tells of a craft that grows into an art.
Petřín
A tale of love
Cherry trees blossom in Petřín every spring around the statue of poet Karel Hynek Mácha, the Czech “patron of lovers.” Mácha had a tragic love story of his own, dying shortly before and being buried on what should have been his wedding day.
“Look deep into nature and you will understand everything.”
—Albert Einstein
Einstein only spent 16 months in Prague between April 1911 and July 1912 as the chair in theoretical physics at the German University. During this short time, he resumed work on his general theory of relativity, which he would publish in 1915.

Powder Gate Tower
A tale of tradition
This tower was once the starting point of the Royal Route, leading up to the castle where rulers were crowned Czech Kings. The crown was made by Charles IV, the “Father of the Homeland,” as the sacred crown of the Czech nation and dedicated to its patron saint, Wenceslaus.
New Mill Water Tower
A tale of struggle
This tower replaced the 15th-century wooden water tower, which was powered by a millwheel and represented the eternal struggle between fire and water. To keep water flowing through pipes in winter, an open fire was kept in the tower, regularly burning the structure to the ground.
Lesser Town Bridge Tower
A tale of mystery
The eight-pointed Maltese Cross, symbol of the Order of the Knights of Malta, keeps a secret: here one knight may have written the first Czech versified “Chronicles,” a landmark work of medieval historiography.
