In Prague, Czechia (aka Czech Republic), visitors now can pay for entry to the Old Town Hall Tower by scanning, with the cameras on their smartphones, the QR-code on any of the information signs located around Old Town. Once done, the receipt on the phone is used as a ticket. Admission to the 14th-century tower costs CZK110 (near $4.50).
