Žižkov Television Tower

4.4 ·

Rise above the rooftops at the Žižkov Television Tower, one of Prague's most unusual landmarks. Take the lift to the observation deck and trace the city's skyline through the marked panoramic windows.

📖

Full description

The Žižkov Television Tower is one of Prague's most recognisable modern landmarks, a tall broadcast structure that doubles as a viewpoint, restaurant venue and hotel. Its observation deck sits at roughly 93 metres and wraps around with panoramic windows, where marked viewing points and landmark descriptions help you identify what you are looking at.

Reviewers describe the atmosphere as calm and romantic, particularly toward dusk, and the tower stays open late into the evening. Because it rises well above the surrounding rooftops, it offers a view of Prague that feels quite different from the usual castle-side vantage points.

Plan about an hour including the lift and time at the windows.

Reviews

Wacky and iconic TV tower overlooking all of Prague with a cool bar, restaurant and observation deck 93m above ground. Huge views over all of Prague but the most interesting buildings are too far away to be seen clearly. Not busy even on a Saturday morning in August.
