If you’re looking to see Prague from a whole new perspective — literally and figuratively — the Žižkov Television Tower is your next must-visit. It’s not just the tallest building in Prague. It’s a space where jaw-dropping views, world-class dining, modern art, and a luxury hotel room come together in one unforgettable experience.
Why You’ll Love It Here:
✅ Unmatched panoramic views from 93 meters above Prague
✅ Iconic art by David Černý: babies crawling up the tower
✅ Dinner or drinks in the clouds at a high-end restaurant and bar
✅ Sleep above the city in the exclusive One Room Hotel
✅ A symbol of Prague’s quirky charm with a fascinating backstory
Start with the View: A 360° Panorama of Prague
At 216 meters tall, the Žižkov Tower offers the best city views from its Observatory, located 93 meters above ground. Open daily from 9 AM to midnight, it’s perfect for daytime photography or a romantic night-time skyline.
Each of the tower’s three observation pods is thematically designed:
- One introduces visitors to a global federation of towers, featuring famous observation towers from around the world.
- Another features iconic bubble chairs, each equipped with a speaker playing real-time street sounds from 100 meters below.
- The third pod functions as a rotating exhibition space, hosting works from contemporary Czech artists
Meet the “Babies” You’ll Never Forget
Perhaps the most eye-catching feature of the tower is the set of giant black babies crawling up and down its exterior. Created by provocative Czech artist David Černý, the sculptures — called Babies — were originally installed in 2000 when Prague was named the European Capital of Culture.
Each baby is 3.5 meters long, 2.4 meters tall, and weighs 350 kilograms. Their strange faces — replaced with barcode-like indentations — represent the eerie allure and alienation of modern technology. The original fiberglass versions were replaced in 2019 with more durable models.
Want to see them up close? Similar sculptures can be found on Kampa Island and even on the Prague 3 municipal hall.
Dine in the Sky: Exceptional Food with a View
Whether you’re in the mood for a romantic dinner or a relaxed lunch, the tower delivers:
