I can't even begin to count the number of times I've watched massive crowds of tourists stand underneath the clock, cameras poised, for more than a few minutes only to see the actually event, start to finish, and say, "That's it?!?!" It's worth looking at but not worth getting too excited about. It's pretty anticlimactic, actually, and people's high hopes for this crazy little clock tend to be dashed. As for beer, look for signs (usually outside of the Old Town) for "Tankove Pivo." It means the beer is in giant tanks that keep it fresher and more delicious than its keg-kept counterpart. Seriously, you'll thank me when you try it. The Astronomical Clock shouldn’t be talked up too much.
