We tried to visit this site between Christmas and New Year, based on what appeared to be their updated opening dates and times, but after making three trips there on foot, it was closed on every occasion. Very disappointing and a big waste of holiday time when we were only in town for a limited number of days.

If you are ever in Prague around the Xmas season then the nativity exhibition at the Bethlehem Chapel is well worth a visit. Children will find it especially delightful and magical.
Nativity displays are a really important part of the Czech Xmas tradition. You will find many beautifully crafted scenes in craft and gift shops and many displays in churches. The Bethlehem Chapel is my favourite. It consists of a large number of scenes, hand-made by crafts people using a range of different materials and styles. They are playful, imaginative and some are really dazzling. For me a trip to this exhibition is an essential part of a Prague Xmas experience.

Very beautiful chapel! We was on classical concert there and it was amazing!
Went to an amazing classical concert with my wife. Great acoustics.
Really nice. Unique wirh mirrors and marble
Four seasons Vivaldi concert. Accoustically impressive. The musicians were excellent. The soprano was bone chilling, just great!
We visited because we attended a concert there, so we didn't really get to look around. As a concert venue, it has a lot to recommend it. Good, clear acoustics and an interesting antique architecture. If you're considering attending a concert here, I'd say do it, but try for seats in the center section, or near the front of one of the side sections. Also, the schematic for buying tickets implies that there are obstructed view seats -- there are in fact 2 large pillars -- but we did not find that they impeded the view from any of the seats. The geometry of the schematic and the reality are not the same, so don't worry about that.
Beautiful chapel.I went to the concerts twice, because there are two programs. Both concerts were nice.
You have to pay to go in, unless for a concert, it’s organised on separately to the Klementinum. There’s no signage to say this, but if you do try, expect someone to shout!
It was very beautiful and quiet inside. Worth

During our visit to Prague, my wife and I also visited the very interesting Bethlehem Chapel, which is interesting from the time of the Reformation and is associated with the reformer and great mind Jan Hus. Photos of the interior say a lot. But it is interesting that you can read about the history of the chapel in your own language.

Tis' was a summer evenings outside with a Vivald £ The Four Seasons concerto inside the Mirror Chapel - a simply different experience altogether.
The experience of the harmony of string musical equipment echoing within the chapel is something indescribable.
We chance upon a ticket counter offing tickets for sale - sceptical at first but after some Googling (seeing it's an authentic experience), we dove right in. #NoRegrets
Opt for the balcony seating, it's has a better view and cooler with the airflow coming in from the open window on a summer evening.

Whoa what a nice building and very worthy classical opera schedule. Highly recommend to visit this place and sit down for a opera session
An important historical landmark in Prague Old Town
This was the site of a large chapel from the High Middle Ages were the gospel was to be preached in Czech. Jan Hus preached from here and it was here that the burgeoning Hussite movement began to take root in the Czech lands. After the burning of Hus by the emperor and the Hussite Wars, the chapel continued to be used by the Hussites, until the Thirty Years War, when it was taken over by the Jesuits. It subsequently fell into disrepair and was allowed to be demolished, but it was reconstructed under the Communists, who saw Hus as an early champion of the proletariat. The hall has been well reconstructed and there are guides and interpretative materials to allow one to see the importance of this hall in the history of Prague and the wider world.

Eindruckvolle Kapelle. Wahnsinns Akustik, würde gern mal ein Konzert dort erleben. Sehr freundliche Guides. Ausdrucke mit Infos in vielen Sprachen. Im Obergeschoss befindet sich eine kleine, liebevoll gestaltete Ausstellung zur Geschichte und zu Jan Hus. Erste Kapelle, die ich gesehen habe, die einen Brunnen innerhalb des Gebetsraumes hatte.
Ein gotischer Doppelgiebel markiert den ansonsten eher schlichten Sakralbau in der Altstadt von Prag. Berühmt ist die Kirche für die ihr in der Anfangsphase der tschechischen Reformation zukommen Rolle. Gegründet wurde diese im Jahre 1391. Der Eintritt ist sehr moderat. Es gibt Beschreibungen zum Bau, der Architektur und der Geschichte des Bauwerks in verschiedenen Sprachen. Auch in Englisch und Deutsch. In der oberen Etage befinden sich viele Bilder und Erklärungen zur Geschichte der Kirche. Diese ist auf jeden Fall einen Besuch wert.
One of the most original not that famous buildings in Prague. It’s used for graduation ceremonies, where the chapel feels like a very appropriate and practical place.
