About the Staré Město Area
Fairytale medieval heart
Staré Město is the medieval core where Prague began. You'll find a maze of tight alleys and pastel Baroque walls. Look up to see those famous dark Gothic spires. It feels like a movie set. But people actually live and work here. Walk from the Charles Bridge east toward the New Town shops. Everything you came to see sits in this walkable zone. It’s perfect if you're here for the first time and don't mind the crowds. Yes, it’s expensive. And yes, it’s packed. But waking up next to the Astronomical Clock is worth the price tag. You'll be right where the action is.
