Hello. I cannot find a concrete answer either way. We have a trip booked what includes Prague in June and I really want to see the Klementinum Library. According to my RS Prague guidebook (tenth edition, circa 2019? been planning this before COVID) seeing is by tour only. But elsewhere I have read that it is now closed. The website in my RS Prague guidebook www.klementinum.com doesn't work.
Anyone know if it is available to see? What website can I go to to get tickets?
thanks in advance
Matt
This link to the official Prague city website has some information about the National Library which is housed in the Klementinum complex.

I saw people on the tower gallery at the Klementinum on Friday so it must be open but the website is down. I'll stop by tomorrow and re-post if there is any alternative for online booking.
Wow. Thanks a lot Katheryne and Jason. The prague.eu website appears to be legit and has appointments for tours going out about 2-3 weeks. My trip is in June so I'll keep checking back. Jason, any info will be helpful. Thanks!
Well the concrete answer is yes it is open and yes you use the link above in the thread to book tickets. Just remember to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page. The Klementinum is included in the Prague Visitor Pass but be aware that if you use the pass you have to turn up at the ticket desk on the day which may mean no places available on the tours so I would pay for this one in advance. Hope RS revises the new link in the next issue.
Thanks so much!
