The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Nove Mesto (New Town)
Nearly 700 hundred metres long, Wenceslas Square represents the most frequent and buzzing crossroads of the city. The National Museum in the upper part of the square watches over your spending spree in countless shops and retail stores lining the entire square, which ends at Na Příkopě, the most famous shopping street. When tired or broke, you can explore the city's underpasses, which can take you to the Old Town or to the courtyards of art nouveau houses with secret gems of greenery, white benches and rose bushes that provide unexpected peace in the midst of the city. Be sure to pay a visit to the traditional cafés, classic Czech pubs, cinemas and theatres. National Theatre near the river has a lot to offer to foreigners. Go to the river bank and enjoy live music and drinks while watching a sunset behind Prague Castle.

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

One of the iconic structures of the New Town is Henry's Bell Tower ,the tallest free standing tower in Prague and was once part of the beautiful Church Of St Henry And St Kunhata ( Kostel Svateho Jindricha A Svate Kunhaty ) adjacent to the tower .
The tower was constructed in the 16th century ,renovated in 1879 ,this renovation gave the tower the Neo Gothic look we see today ,a small fee and you can ascend the tower which is fascinating and there's also a great whisky bar in the tower called Whisteria Bar set over two floors were if you're a fan of a dram is a must go destination ,I love this bar and the whiskies on offer ,a wonderful tower to check out ,easy to locate on Jindrisska ,trams 2.9.14.24 drop you off at the tower ,well worth seeking out if you're in the New Town .

Centuries old Tower with an elevator and air conditioning. After many years not being open to public, major renovations began in the nineties.
There is a concrete and steel structure inside the tower. A tower within tower.

Whiskey bar is located at the bottom floor. Restaurant Zvonice is on the 7th floor.
The large bell Marie can be seen in the restaurant hanging over the tables. One floor up above the restaurant is another windowed space to take in the views.

An excellent opportunity to get to the top of one of the towers in Prague on an elevator.

Henry's Bell Tower is a tower close to the station and it is an interesting bell tower that has been around since centuries as the bell tower of the Church of St. Henry and Kunhuta.
The tower is a landmark of the city and is of a Neo-Gothic design.

Another tower in Prague. This one is close to bus stops and has a clock face on it. Like the others I didn't know you could head up since I normally went around quite late.

Just passing by and happened to stroll into this Tower. Cost a little bit but the views from up top is worth it. Tower has 7 floors including museum, views, restaurant and whiskey room. Worth a quick look.

This is an interesting free-standing bell tower that’s been around since the 1th century as the bell tower of the Church of St. Henry and Kunhuta, but now hosting an observation deck, a restaurant and whisky shop (don’t ask). The tower is a landmark of the city and is of a Neo-Gothic design. It looks good and worth visiting if you have time, especially if you’re arriving into Prague central station, which is only 5 minutes walk away.

Some great views in this free standing tower, it is not in the main part of town but surely you can see it from any vantage point. I had always wanted to go up in it and this time I did. Great views from the top, small admission fee, great photo ops for sure.

I love being able to see Prague from varying view points, this one is no exception.

Worth checking out day and night. Perhaps worth a visit up and through it on a 3rd day of a Prague visit.
