The tours start at the entrance of the Clementinum Astronomical Tower (National library). Increased security is observed on the 45-minute Prague City Hall – Paternoster Tour, and since the building still functions as the current seat of the representatives of the capital city of Prague, tours are organised only in small numbers of participants according to a specific schedule. Due to increased safety requirements, the tour is open only to persons over 18 years of age, in good physical condition and not under the influence of alcohol or drugs. visitor rules
