The tower is strange, somebody said it is ugliest tower in the world, other people has different meanings. You get great panoramic view of the Prague. But behind the window, which is sometimes little dirty. So the fotos are not perfect. There is a little restaurant, but we were dissapointed. The waiter was lazy, glasses dirty and whole restaurant looks... More

As a previous reviewer stated, the interior is currently under construction so the cafe and restaurant were closed when we visited. It is the highest building in Prague so it offers the best panoramic view of the city. The best part to me was the addition of the bizarre, faceless baby sculptures crawling up and down the exterior. Worth the... More

While it was going through some renovations when we visited, it still offered the best views of the city of Prague and the surrounding areas. And what a cool, modern structure in the middle of old world Prague.

The TV Tower is currently under reconstruction. Your first clue comes in the lift, where a sign warns "In case the lift gets stuck, press the C A L L button 1 x. Our team will help you as fast as possible. Please, stay calm and be patient. Thank you." Stepping out at the top, wires dangle from the ceiling,... More

This tower gives the best picture of Praha.. You can see around the city 360 degrees. You can capture a lot of nice pictures.

Zizkov is full of unusual things...the TV tower being one of them. the trip to the top is short, and once there you get decent views of the city. There is also a cafe at the top where you can take a rest and grab a bite to eat. I wouldn't say that this is a 'must-see' for people staying... More

You can't miss the TV Tower. It rises high above the city skyline easily dwarfing the rest of the surrounding buildings. In the evening, it really looks like a spaceship ready for lift off. When you get closer, you will see giant faceless babies crawling up the face of the tower - the creation of the controversial Czech artist David... More

Or perhaps it's in keeping with the Soviet theme of planned decrepitude. There are three observation galleries serviced by one elevator -- which carries a caveat that it could stop working at any moment and not to panic if it does. The restaurant is closed. The ceilings are exposed in all the galleries during this renovation. The whole place reeks... More
