Very nice church in the corner of the old town Square in Prague. The paintings on the ceilings were very detailed, and the chandelier from the dome ceiling was a unique touch to the church. If you have the opportunity to quickly drop in and have a look, I think it would be a good idea. Would recommend to everyone.

St. Nicholas Church is a breathtaking highlight of Old Town Square. Its Baroque architecture and striking green dome make a dramatic statement—both inside and out. As you enter, you’re greeted by an opulent interior: intricate frescoes, gilded statues, and beautifully carved altars that showcase pure artistic mastery. During a recent classical music concert held there, the sound was simply mesmerizing—the acoustics and the soaring vaulted ceilings combined for an unforgettable experience. Even without an event, a moment to sit in the pews and look up feels meditative and humbling. Whether you’re an architecture enthusiast, a classical music lover, or simply seeking a peaceful escape from the buzz of the square, St. Nicholas Church delivers. A must-visit for anyone exploring Prague!

A Baroque Dream with a Hint of Drama St. Nicholas Church in Old Town Prague is undeniably gorgeous. The grand chandelier, dripping with crystal elegance, the light filtering through the stained glass, and the sweeping frescoes high above all create a divine, almost theatrical atmosphere, somewhere between a heavenly stage and a couture runway set. It is opulent, yes, and dramatic, absolutely. Yet in a city where nearly every corner hosts a masterpiece, this church, though breathtaking, does not quite steal the crown. Still, it is definitely worth a visit if you love architecture that whispers, or shouts, “Baroque extravaganza with a celestial glow.” Dress fabulously, this place deserves it.

FREE ENTRANCE. Super beautiful and worth going. Right next to the clock. Right in the center. There’s a 1-hour musical performance (violin, organ) every day at 6PM (please arrive & buy tickets in advance, before the closing time at 6PM in order not to ruin the moment for everyone who arrives early and on time). Super friendly staff. Highly recommend. Discounts for seniors and students also I think. You can purchase ticket at the booth at the gate. From €12 (discounted) to about €20 (original) if I remember correctly but very worth it 👍

This is one of the most beautiful churches I've ever seen. The Baroque architecture is jaw-dropping, and the interior is filled with intricate frescoes, sculptures, and gold detailing. The massive dome and chandelier are stunning, and the history behind it especially the fact that Mozart once played the organ here makes it even more special. A must-visit if you're in Prague, especially if you love art, music, or history.

St. Nicholas Church in Prague isn't just a visual marvel—it's also a vibrant concert venue that brings its baroque splendor to life through music. Both the Old Town Square and Lesser Town (Malá Strana) locations host regular classical concerts, often featuring top-tier musicians from the Czech Philharmonic and National Theatre. The church's magnificent organ, once played by Mozart himself, adds a rich, authentic resonance to the performances . Concerts typically last about an hour and are held in the early evening, usually around 6:00 PM. The programs vary, offering a mix of organ solos, chamber music, and vocal pieces, with compositions by Mozart, Vivaldi, Bach, and Czech composers like Dvořák . Ticket prices are reasonable, starting from approximately €15 (350 CZK), with discounts available for students and seniors . Seating is typically unassigned, so arriving early is advisable for the best spots. Experiencing a concert here is truly special—the combination of world-class music and the church's stunning acoustics and architecture creates an unforgettable atmosphere.

The Hussite church with chandeliers and vaulted ceilings, built in the 12th century, impresses with its interior decoration. The interior, with its interesting light effects, is dominated by a crystal chandelier in the shape of an imperial crown from the Harrachov glassworks, a gift from the Russian Tsar to the Orthodox Church. In addition, the interior of the temple contains an ancient organ with sculptures of angels with trumpets. The angels hold musical instruments in their hands, creating the illusion of a whole orchestra playing. The building has good acoustics and hosts classical and organ music concerts.

With all of the other attractions in the old town square, it's quite easy to neglect to visit this church. It's well worth making the effort to venture inside (just to see the huge chandelier) and the amazing ceilings.
