There's nothing to add to the descriptions of this pittoresque place and I totally agree that everybody should visit it at once during the day and also at night. Just wanted to drop a warning that you should best avoid the coffee houses around that spot as it might happen that they charge you prices that are as astronomical as... More

Touristic area, beautiful place for an afternoon walk, some sights are in the area (astronomical clock, Gothic church you can see from any point of the square). Also some good - average /higher priced restaurants can be found in the area. More

Very Disneyesque at first glance, was a bit cold to stand around and wait to look at the clock, but interesting to see it chime at 11, I would not recommend doing this at 1 or 2 pm though, as you wait for little then. More

The square can get busy, even in weather of -13 to -20 C. There are people offering tours (some for free) in many different languages. In February there are no markets or events taking place in the actual square. It is a good place for a passing visit More
