Klementina Mirtcheva
★★★★★3 months agoIt was a cool experience, the tower is accessible with the Metro A and a short walk through the market and a really nice neighborhood with small, family friendly cafes. On the way you can see the church Sacred Heart which is also interesting. Family ticket is 700,-čk. The cash desk accepts only cash ( there is an ATM in front of the entrance). The view platform has 3 halls for 360degree view. 1 of the halls has swing chairs with acoustic from the city. The tower is surrounded by a nice park, and if the weather is nice you can also play mini-golf in it. All in all very nice attraction to visit away from the tourist masses in the inner city.
Farrux Abduxalilov
★★★★★6 months agoUnique landmark with some of the best views in Prague. The observation deck offers a full 360° panorama, and on a clear day you can see far beyond the city center. The iconic crawling babies by David Černý make it even more memorable. Useful tips: • Go around sunset for the best light and photos 🌇 • Book tickets online to skip the queue • The bar/restaurant upstairs is pricier, but worth it for a drink with a view • Easy to combine with a walk through Riegrovy Sady or Žižkov neighborhood Love it or hate it, it’s definitely worth experiencing at least once.
