À propos
Faits rapides: Vibrant crowds often gather to watch the parade of apostles and other figures that move on the hour, drawing oohs and aahs from visitors. Rich with gothic and baroque architecture, the square buzzes with street performers and markets offering treats and crafts that engage all your senses.
Points forts: Every hour, a parade of 12 wooden apostles emerges from tiny doors above the clock's face, while life-sized skeletons strike a bell to mark the passage of time. The square's heart holds a 600-year-old stone column believed by locals to bring good luck if you touch it while making a wish.
Conseils d'initiés
- Arrive 10-15 minutes before the hour to secure a street-level view of the clock procession or find a side street for a clearer photo.
- Climb the Old Town Hall tower for panoramic shots, choose the north-east side for fewer people and better light.
- Wear comfortable shoes, cobblestones are uneven and can be slippery after rain.
- Skip restaurants that face the square at peak times, walk one block inland for better prices and quality.
