The tour begins in front of the building at Tynska 627/7. Directions from the Astronomical Clock: walk across the Old Town Square toward the Tyn Cathedral; with the cathedral in front of you, take the narrow, cobbled street (Tynska) which runs between the cathedral and the beige Baroque Kinsky Palace; once you're standing behind Tyn Cathedral, you'll see the big wooden door of the building number 7.
