Who it's for
All ages; the tower has a lift

In Old Town Square, the astronomical clock of 1410 brings out its twelve apostles every hour from 8:00 to 23:00: it lasts less than a minute and can be seen free from the square. To see everything from above, climb the Town Hall tower (with a lift) and enter the Gothic halls and the Romanesque cellars on the guided tour, which is paid separately. In the first hour after opening the ticket costs half.
