The Zizkov TV Tower is such a contrast to the historic parts of Prague that it has to be seen to be believed. It 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/café with the most amazing views of Prague. The public areas look like boxes that have been stuck on the outside of the tower. The whole tower has been recently renovated to include a small hotel.

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. 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 350 CZK with discounts for students, children & families (2025 prices).
