    THIS PLACE IS FREE. Great place, the face rotates every hour for around 14-15 minutes, it’s worth it to see, it’s a moving work of art. It is a must see if you are in Prague, there are multiple restaurants, cafeterias next to it, and don’t forget about the Kafka museum. I had a starbucks while I was waiting for the movement.

    A must visit in Prague. The head turn show starts at beginning of every hour and goes on for 12 to 15 minutes. When the head is rotating you cannot guess it will end up facing which direction. It features many different rotating styles. Very entertaining attraction that too for free. After show ends, you can explore the mall which is located just next to it. Great work by the team which made this.
