“The tallest and ugliest building in Prague” - 216 meters of glass, metal and concrete, towering above the city. They do not like her and admire her, and she is a very fashionable place among the Prague youth. It is the Žižkovský vysílač a symbol inherited by the Czech Republic from the era of socialist realism.

The tower stands 216 metres (709 feet) high, with the observatory at 93 metres, the hotel room at 70 metres, restaurants (with a capacity of 180 people) at 66 metres. Three elevators transport passengers at a speed of 4 m/s.
Three of the pods, positioned directly beneath the decks at the top, are used for equipment and are inaccessible to the public. The remaining six pods are open to visitors, providing a panoramic view of Prague and the surrounding area. The lower three, approximately half-way up the length of the pillars at 63 metres (207 feet), house a restaurant and café bar.

Brilliant views of the entire city.
Just over 90 meters to the observation deck.
A nice way to spend an hour... easy tram ride to only a 5min walk to the tower!
Freaky babies attached to it as well!
The question is.... was it a space rocket? 😉

The tower has a nice view and three rooms where you can enjoy it. The elevator is fast but you may need to wait if there are many visitors. Windows may spoil your photos of the view.
The place is free if you have a valid Prague CoolPass card.

The tower is stunning from the outside and you must come see it if you're nearby. The view is great but you can get it in many other places at a lower price. Still worth going up if you have spare time in the area.

At the foot of the tower lies the Old Jewish Cemetery in Zizkov and the old tombs and mausoleums at the base of the colossus are a strange juxtaposition indeed.
