Every hour a small trapdoor opens and Christ himself marches out, followed by his disciples. The Grim Reaper also rings a bell - checking to see whose time has come (unsurprisingly, everyone shakes their heads 'no'). There are also planetary motion, the zodiac and more on the clock - and 75% of its parts are original - like original.With your tickets, you'll get to skip the lines and take the stairs or an elevator up the tower. From there you'll have amazing views over the Old Town Square and the rest of Prague's Old Town.On your way back down to Prague, you can think on the staying power of this clock.
