Discover a spectacular Baroque Library and take in sweeping views of Prague on a guided tour of the Klementinum.
Meet your guide and set out to explore one of the largest building complexes in Europe. Construction of the property dates back to 1653 and today, the buildings are mostly occupied by the Czech National Library.
See the Baroque Library Hall from behind the fence. Marvel at the ornate frescoes, gilded carvings, and large globes that decorate this space. Then, follow your guide to the Astronomical Tower.
On your way there, make a stop at the Meridian Hall. View the collection of instruments housed here and learn about how this space was used to determine the exact time of noon thanks to a small beam of sunlight shining through a hole in the wall.
Finally, end your tour on a high note as you climb to the top of the Astronomical Tower. Admire sweeping views of the center of Prague and the Prague Castle from 68 meters above the ground.

Die Bibliothek ist schon sehenswert, aber man steht an der Tür und kann nur reinschauen. Also auch die alten Globen kann man nur von weitem sehen. Verständlich, aber das sollte man wissen. Zweiter Punkt, es geht nur eine Wendeltreppe- sehr schmal nach oben. Es könnte für Ältere Anstrengend sein. Resttreppe zum Turm ist mehr als steil. Das sollte man auch beachten, vor allem wenn es sehr heiß ist.
I think this visit is a complete waste of money... the library is completely dark, so you can't appreciate the beauty that supposedly appears in the photos at all, plus they don't let you in, you have to see it from the door... there are no tour guide options in any language other than English. And the visit to the astronomical tower... you can't see anything inside, and outside, well, the views are nice, but they're the same as from any other tower. For me, it's not worth it at all.
I was worried about the stairs, but I could see each floor as I went up, so it wasn't a problem! I'm so glad I went!
The tour involves climbing many steps, first via a spiral staircase and then via an ancient wooden staircase. Agility is required, so it is not for everyone and not suitable if you have small children. You cannot enter the library, but you can see and take photos from the entrance. The view from the top is beautiful and allows you to see Prague in 360 degrees. The tour guide was excellent.
It was great!
La bibliothèque est magnifique! Le lieu a une histoire tellement intéressante et importante. c'est un coup de coeur! Il ne faut pas avoir le vertige car toute la tour se visite donc ça a monte! et les escaliers sont étroits. Le guide parle anglais mais il y a des descriptifs a disposition dans plusieurs langues à l'entrée. Il laisse pendant plusieurs minutes la possibilité de prendre des photos et admirer la bibliothèque. La visite prends environ 45min.
La guida era una persona veramente meravigliosa. Ci ha dato ottimi consigli su come muoverci all'interno dell'edificio e fruirlo nella maniera migliore possibile. Avrei voluto perdermi a sfogliare i libri per ore. Interessantissima e ben spiegata la parte astronomica. Cosa darei per sentire ancora il mezzogiorno suonato alla vecchia maniera! Consigliato. The guide was truly wonderful. He gave us excellent advice on how to navigate the building and make the most of it. I could have spent hours browsing the books. The astronomical section was very interesting and well explained. What would I give to hear the noon chime the old-fashioned way again! Recommended.
muy bien aunque el precio es un poco caro
Absolutnie przepiękne miejsce !
