Žižkov Television Tower

The Prague TV Tower is a fairly popular place not only as a viewpoint, but also as an art zone (sculptures of children crawling on the tower). But everyone goes here anyway for the "unsurpassed view of Prague". Frankly speaking, the view from 95~ meters, although interesting and truly incredible, cannot be compared with the view from the tower of St. Vitus Cathedral, which is located at approximately the same height, and from it you can see almost all the iconic buildings of Prague. Of course, you can note the opportunity to eat with a view of Prague, but not at a slightly lower height (60~ meters). In general, if you want to see the view of Prague from this place - you can go up, but the view from St. Vitus Cathedral is better and cheaper, although the ascent is not by elevator.

Good points: quick to get to on excellent public transport. Lots of chairs. Not busy. You can right up to the glass. Bad points. Other people have got right up to the glass and appeared to have smeared their entire bodies along it. Clean the windows! It's 15 euros. You can get a lot of window cleaning spray for that price. A very old looking sign saying the credit card machine is out of order. Yeah right. But you managed to get an ATM in there. I'm calling BS on that. Toilets are locked. Again 15 euros. Sort that out.

This uniquely shaped tower offers fantastic 360° views of Prague. But, I found the interior a little dull and uninspiring. No details on the towers history or construction. There is no exterior observation deck. So you'll have take photos through the glass and try to avoid glare. Trying to get back down the tower took a long time as a line up had formed and apparently no one is counting how many people are going up and eventually back down. But, overall, it is a worthwhile destination just for the views alone.

The Prague Television Tower is a striking landmark offering panoramic views of the entire city, making it a great spot for photography. The restaurant at the top provides a unique dining experience, but it’s important to pre-book in advance. A must-visit for anyone wanting a combination of sightseeing and fine dining.

I visited the Zizkov Television Tower around sunset, and it was absolutely worth it. The view of the city bathed in golden light and gradually turning into night was breathtaking. Inside the observatory, there were also several art installations, photographs, and videos, which added a nice cultural touch to the experience. Definitely recommend visiting around sunset for the best views.

The Prague TV Tower offers an impressive panoramic view over the entire city – the 360° perspective is truly something special. On clear days, it’s an absolute must-visit. I booked my tickets via GetYourGuide, which not only made the process easy but also saved us 3 euros each. Tickets on-site can only be paid for in cash, so booking online in advance through is highly recommended. Unfortunately, the tower does show its age, and a renovation, especially on the inside, would be welcome. Still, it’s a worthwhile destination for anyone wanting to experience Prague from above. 😁

Totally worth it. View can't be beat. It's simple and easy to get in and out of, no long tourist lines, go at your own pace. Amazing food and people in neighborhood.

The view from this tower is stunning over Prague. There are exhibits of towers from other countries. We spent more than an hour there. I definitely recommend visiting.

The views were great! It was quite stinky in there the whole time we were in there and very humid, other than that it was fine.

I lived next door to this tower for months with a lovely view of it from my living room window before I finally decided to stop in for a visit. Actually, it was quite on accident that I met someone one evening who gave me a tour. The Zizkov TV Tower is known as the ugliest building in Prague by most of its natives, but I quite enjoy the uniqueness of the structure. And seeing it towering amidst the sea of buildings always let me know which way was home:) No matter where you are in Prague, its hard to miss that iconic landmark soaring over the skyline. There are nine pods along the tower - the three lower ones at around 210 feet house a beautiful restaurant/bar with glass windows all around, offering a 360-degree view as you dine. Right upstairs from the restaurant, a few feet up, is a luxury one-bedroom hotel! And the three pods above those contain the observatory deck where you can also get a panaromic view of Prague. So, we stopped in to the tower late evening just after sunset, and we were actually able to go up to the observation deck without having to pay as you do during the day. The elevators to the right took us up to the restaurant. And then the elevators to the left took us to the observation deck. Nighttime views are great. My fave part of the observation deck is the dimly lit, zen-like room with the space pod chairs. Suspended from the ceiling by one chain with another chain loosely holding each chair to the ground, and allowing it to sway gently as you sit in ... utter bliss! Felt like you were floating. I could have stayed there forever. We actually stayed up there for quite a while. One of the other rooms on this level shows where the tower ranks among its fellow towers in the World Federation of Great Towers. To note: David Cerny's giant bronze baby statues that crawl up the sides of the tower were removed for restoration, to be returned later this year. However, if you don't get a chance to see the babies on the tower, you can see three more of them "crawling" in Kampa Park, right next to Charles Bridge and the Cerny Museum.

Hey as other reviewers have mentioned, it''s not the most attractive structure. During the day it's a gray color but at night it looks pretty cool lit up in blue and red lights. In the park area at the base of the tower there's a mini golf course during the summer and they have a little ice rink in the winter. Buy a ticket for 200 kc and ride the elevator up 93 meters to the observation room. The view is very good. They also have a restaurant which might be fun to try sometime.

You can get some great pictures here and views of the city! The lounge is cute and dessert is delicious.

My husband I decided to head there on the last morning of our trip and it was worth it mostly cause we didn't have anything else that we really wanted to see. Nice view of the city and modern interior but not the most attractive building

A real cool spot. I think a lot of tourists skip this place, but it's a mistake. It's really cool. Go at night for a sparkling night view!
