FAQs about Prague Old Town Square Tours

Which airport is closest to Old Town Square and how do I get there?

Václav Havel Airport Prague is the main gateway, located 17 kilometers west. Take the Airport Express bus to the main train station, then hop on Metro Line A to Staroměstská station. Alternatively, a direct taxi or Uber ride takes about 35 minutes but costs significantly more during peak traffic hours.

When is the best time to visit Old Town Square to avoid crowds and see the Astronomical Clock?

Visit early in the morning before 9 AM or after 8 PM to avoid peak tourist surges. The Astronomical Clock performs its hourly show from 9 AM to 11 PM. For fewer crowds during the famous Christmas Markets, aim for weekdays in late November rather than the weeks immediately preceding December 25th.

Do I need cash for vendors in Old Town Square or are cards accepted everywhere?

While most restaurants and major shops accept Visa and Mastercard, smaller street vendors and souvenir stalls often prefer or only take Czech Koruna cash. Avoid exchanging money at booths directly on the square due to poor rates. Withdraw local currency from ATMs located inside banks for better security and fairer fees.

Is Old Town Square safe at night and what scams should tourists watch for?

The area is generally safe with a strong police presence, but pickpocketing is common in dense crowds. Be wary of unofficial taxi drivers offering rides near the square and always insist on using a meter or app. Also, check menu prices before sitting at outdoor cafes, as some target tourists with inflated bills if not clearly displayed.
