One of the two towers of the Dancing House seems like a woman’s body with a skirt. It is called by locals the “drunk house”, due to its undulating shape. This attraction is the most photographed in Prague. If you love taking pictures, don’t miss the top 8 Instagram spots in Prague!

This clock is a medieval masterpiece, built in 1410, and it was used by locals to check the time and the calendar data. In fact, at the bottom, there is a calendar with illustrations of every month of the year and also of the festive days.
