A very thorough tour of the tour and astronomical clock. You climb the tower and then lock and observe the mechanism (15th century) operate at 3 o’clock. Lots of detail provided. This is a different experience to the astronomical clock in Prague which is more of a tower climb.

Very enjoyable trail lots of information about the sites and made more fun with the challenges/quizzes at each place. A great way to see the city at your own pace.

The tour was chilly but extremely interesting. Sabina our guide was really friendly and gave lots of details.
