About

At the Klementinum in Prague, history and grandeur come alive in this exquisite example of Baroque architecture, having first opened its doors in 1722. This spectacular attraction offers visitors a chance to explore one of the most stunning libraries in the world, often likened to scenes straight out of Harry Potter.

La biblioteca è bellissima ma ci si può solo affacciare. Il resto interessante, ma non splendido. La vista di Praga dall'alto merita tutto.

אחד המקומות המדהימים והמרשימים ביותר שביקרתי בהם בפראג.

Historisches Highlight mit einzigartigem Ausblick Das Klementinum ist ein echtes Juwel mitten in Prag. Besonders beeindruckend: die barocke Bibliothek – ein magischer, fast ehrfürchtiger Ort. Auch der astronomische Turm mit seiner spannenden Geschichte und der fantastische Blick über die Altstadt lohnen den Besuch. Wichtig zu wissen: Der Zutritt ist nur im Rahmen einer geführten Tour möglich, daher sollte man vorab einen Termin buchen. Der Eintritt ist im Prague Visitor Pass enthalten. Die Führungen sind gut organisiert und in mehreren Sprachen verfügbar.
