Souvenir Stamp in New Town Hall Tower in Prague
A souvenir stamp is a unique stamp created on-demand for tourists or visitors at certain locations, typically tourist attractions, museums, or historical sites. These stamps are often made using ink and rubber stamps and are stamped onto a traveler’s notebook, passport, or a special souvenir booklet. I am collecting those stamps in my sketchbook, please read more in my first post about it here.
At the New Town Hall in Prague, visitors also have the opportunity to imprint a souvenir travel stamp in their journals! However, please note that during the winter months, this tower is closed.
A little bit of History
Novoměstská radnice, or the New Town Hall, was constructed in the 14th century in the Gothic architectural style, showcasing the elegance and grandeur of the era. Over the centuries, the New Town Hall has witnessed numerous historical events, including meetings of the Prague municipal council and other important gatherings.
Today, Novoměstská radnice is a popular tourist attraction in Prague, drawing visitors with its rich history and stunning architecture. In addition to its historical significance, the New Town Hall continues to serve civic functions, housing offices and meeting spaces for the local government.

Depending on your starting point, you may need to take a tram or metro to reach the New Town Hall. Use a public transportation app or map to plan your route to the New Town Hall.
