Zizkov TV Tower, Prague - Opening times, prices, review

The Zizkov TV Tower dominates the skyline of Prague and it’s well worth a visit. Yes, it’s just a TV tower, but the design has to be seen to be believed and the views on a good day are fantastic. The tower design reminds you more of a soviet missile than a TV tower and the artwork sculptures of babies crawling up it, make it even more bizarre. It was completed in 1992, so it’s one of the last legacies of the communist era and it has an indoor observation area and a restaurant, bar and café. The whole tower has been recently renovated to include a small hotel. You can get the best admission prices by booking in advance using this app…

We enjoyed our trip to the TV tower, not just because it’s a fascinating structure, but also because you see a different side of Prague by going there. It’s easy to stay in Prague and spend all your time in the Old Town or Mala Strana and before long you think everything in the city is hundreds of years old. The TV tower stands in a residential district and offers more of a taste of what the city has been like in more recent years. On a clear day you can see the tower from Prague Castle and viewing areas in the Old Town.

The observation deck is open daily from 9am to 11.30pm every day. Adult admission is 300 CZK with discounts for students, children & families (2024 prices). We caught the Metro to get here, line A stop Jiriho z Podebrad.
