I think Prague is one of the most attractive panoramic cities! You definitely need to look at it from above, because the red roofs and numerous spiers of Prague towers will not leave anyone indifferent. Many people come precisely to see the red tiles with their own eyes, which is why there are a lot of panoramic platforms in the city.
During my 8 years in the Czech Republic, I visited a lot of places with stunning views of the city! It should be noted that Prague is full of free, open areas where you can enjoy panoramic views of the city. There are very popular places that every tourist visits, and there are places hidden from the eyes of travelers - places that only locals know about!
But in addition to free sites, there are a lot of towers where entrance is paid, but the views from them are very interesting! In order not to guess which tower has the most attractive view of Prague, I will give you a few of my personal recommendations!
1. You should definitely climb South tower of the Cathedral of St. Vitus— I didn’t want to go there for a long time, but having already visited all the available sites, I decided not to bypass this one either. And when I barely climbed the 287 steps (yes, the tower literally needs to be conquered, and the view is earned!), I was stunned by the view that opened up to me! These are incredible panoramas! I regretted so much that I didn’t go up there earlier! Because I really haven’t seen Prague like this from any place!
Ticket costs 150 CZK, entrance from the south side of the cathedral.
2. View from Vitkov Park— Vitkov Park is located on Žižkov Hill, in the Prague 3 district, which is 10 minutes from the city center. Perhaps, from here one of the most interesting views of Prague opens. The red roofs are one step away and it seems as if Carlson was lost somewhere among these tiles!
3.Visegrad— there are always few tourists on the territory of this historical fortress, since Visegrad is located outside the boundaries of the historical center of the city. However, there is a lot to see there, and even more so it’s worth visiting this place for the panoramic views that cover almost the whole of Prague, 360 degrees! Be sure to walk around this area from all sides and walk along the observation deck, which goes around the entire territory of Visegrad.
Prague is called the city of hundreds of towers, and the towers are the best viewing platforms in Prague. But you don’t have to climb all one hundred towers to admire the magical panoramas of the Czech capital. We have selected the best observation platforms in Prague for you, climbed them (at different times of the year) and took beautiful photos. And all you have to do is choose which one you like best! Well, or climb all four, because the views from them are simply breathtaking!
The best observation decks in Prague: contents of the article
Old Town Hall
– the main attraction of the Old Town. One of the pearls of this square is the 14th-century town hall with the famous Prague Astronomical Clock and a Gothic tower. The height of the tower is 69.5 meters, and at a height of 59 meters there is one of the best observation platforms in Prague with a 360-degree panoramic view. From here you have a beautiful view of many of the city's attractions and even Prague Castle. The entrance ticket costs 250 CZK.
You can go up to the observation deck by elevator, but it’s better to go down on foot. Moreover, it is not steps that lead down, but inclined slabs. Eternal twilight, ancient stones underfoot, walls blackened by time - the atmosphere in Prague City Hall is truly mystical and even a little creepy!
I immediately remember Eastern European legends about sorcerers, villains and ghouls... However, in this regard it is not unique. At one time, for work, I was in the mayors of various Russian cities, and I responsibly declare: even without the Gothic style, they are no less creepy, and the ghouls are real.
By the way, the Old Town Hall is the only observation deck we went up to in winter. We climbed to all other observation platforms in Prague either in the summer or in the golden autumn (that is, with a difference of one day, because the weather in Prague in October is constantly changing). Therefore, what awaits you ahead is not just beautiful, but also various photos of Prague from a bird’s eye view!
In Prague, all roads lead to the Old Town Square and the famous City Hall. So they brought us.
Snow-covered red roofs, towers and spiers of Prague Castle - this is exactly what a winter fairy tale looks like!
Do you know why there are so few tourists in the square? Because it’s winter outside, and the figures of the apostles on the Prague Clock will appear only in an hour.
In the background is the Powder Tower, in the background is the Žižkov TV Tower. There is also a high-altitude view there, but it doesn’t match the best observation decks in Prague - it’s too far from the main attractions.
: view from the Old Town Hall on Nove Mesto.
Old Town Bridge Tower (Charles Bridge)
The Old Town Bridge Tower is only 500 meters from the town hall, but the view from here is completely different. This Gothic tower adorns the entrance to the right bank of the Vltava. The height of the tower is 47 meters, and the observation deck is located 39 meters from the ground. In my opinion, it is quite worthy to top the rating of “Best observation decks in Prague”. After all, it is from here that you can take canonical photos that adorn every second postcard with views of Prague: the Vltava, the red roofs of Lesser Town and above all this beauty - Prague Castle with the magnificent St. Vitus Cathedral. By the way, the most famous temple in the Czech Republic and the Old Town Bridge Tower (and at the same time the Charles Bridge) were built by the same architect - Petr Parler. All these masterpieces were created in the 14th century.
And the observation deck on the Old Town Tower of Charles Bridge is one of the most accessible in Prague. In all senses. Firstly, there are only 138 steps leading there (299 to the Petřín Tower). Secondly, a ticket here costs only 100 CZK.
According to the decree of Charles IV, the Old Town Tower should complete the architectural ensemble of Charles Bridge to decorate the selfies of guests from the East.
Previously, part of this tower was occupied by a prison. Noticeable, right?
The usual number of tourists on the Charles Bridge even in low season. And it's not evening yet!
Dear readers, if anyone knows, tell me the name of the clock tower in the photo!
If you turn away from the Vltava, you have a beautiful view of Stare Mesto with the Basilica of St. Francis of Assisi in the foreground.
And here is the long-awaited canonical photo of Prague. Vltava, Prague Castle, St. Vitus Cathedral and golden autumn. Whatever you want, I'll stay.
Petrin Hill and Petrin Tower
Imagine, the Petřín Tower was built at the end of the 19th century! So we were surprised to find out how old this brilliant high-tech design is. However, for Prague, any building under 300 years old is a new building. It’s not without reason that the Petřín Tower is so similar to the Eiffel – it was after visiting Paris that Czech tourists proposed building something similar in Prague. No sooner said than done: if the main attraction of France was born in 1889, then the Petřín Tower was built just two years later and in just five months.
The Pershin Tower rises on the left bank of the Vltava at the top of the hill of the same name. The height of Petrin Hill is 327 meters, the tower is 80 meters, the observation deck is located at a height of 55 meters. You can go up to it by funicular, and to the tower by elevator. But if you have at least a little health, time, free space in your camera’s memory (underline as appropriate), we strongly advise you to climb both there and there on foot. The road to the hill winds along the paths of a beautiful park; at every step there are stunning views of the Old Town and Prague Castle.
And a spiral staircase leads to the observation deck of the Petrin Tower, where not even glass separates you from falling into a beautiful view - only metal structures through which it is very convenient to look and take pictures. Entrance ticket price: 150 CZK.
You can go up to Petřín Hill by cable car. But it’s better to take a walk along the winding paths of the beautiful park.
Moreover, there are such beautiful views along the way.
And also these.
And even these! What awaits us at the observation deck of the Petřín Tower?
So here you are! Get ready, let's go home to France. The best observation decks in Prague
: Strahov Monastery is especially beautiful in autumn.
The Petrin Tower offers the best view of Prague Castle and St. Vitus Cathedral.
So here you are! Get ready, let's go home to France. Especially if you take a closer look.
: in good weather, from here you can see not only the Old Town, but even Zizkov with the famous TV tower.
- It should be me in his place!
— If you get drunk on Seven Bullets beer at the Ferdinanda restaurant, you will!
Letensky Gardens
Even without any observation platforms, Letenské Sady (“Air Gardens” in Czech) is one of the best places to relax in Prague. This huge park is located on a hill on the left bank of the Vltava. Shady alleys and sunny lawns, the famous Prague Metronome and the oldest carousel in Europe, cozy restaurants and children's playgrounds... Tourists love to come here to relax after walking around the Old Town and the Jewish Quarter; from the Old New Synagogue to the Metronome is no more than a 10-minute walk. And the Letensky Gardens were included in the list of “the best observation decks in Prague” due to the fact that from here there is a beautiful view not only of the Old Town and the Vltava, but also of all its bridges. There are several observation platforms in Leten Gardens with beautiful panoramas, one of them is located near the already mentioned (twice) Metronome. But still. This beautiful yellowish building was built at the end of the 19th century and now houses a restaurant. Expensive restaurant. And the observation deck is open for you 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, completely free of charge!
Letensky Gardens are not only the best observation decks in Prague with views of all its bridges, but also a wonderful place for walks.
The same Hanavsky Pavilion, which offers a beautiful view of the Old Town and the Vltava.
From the observation deck at the Hanavsky Pavilion you can see six bridges of Prague at once.
Another famous bridge in Prague, Chekhov Bridge, is located directly under the Letensky Gardens and connects them with the Old Town.
The best viewpoints in Prague offer you a wonderful view... of each other. In the center of the frame is the Old Town Bridge Tower.
Bonus: Visegrad observation deck
In the title, we promised to show you the four best observation decks in Prague, but we couldn’t restrain ourselves and still added the Vysehrad fortress here out of competition. The observation deck is located in the western part of the Visegrad Garden, above the river itself. Yes, I agree, the view from here is not as stunning as from the four views described above. But firstly, it is also very, very worthy: the blue of the beautiful Vltava with the island of Imperial Meadow splashes at your feet, and in the background you risk seeing four or five bridges, headed by Prague Castle in the north. Secondly, there is not one, but two observation platforms: one on the hill above the Vltava, the second on the opposite edge of the park overlooking the Old and New Place. Thirdly, you can come here in any weather: on foggy days, the slopes of the Prague hills disappearing into a mystical haze look even more mysterious. And fourthly, it's completely free! Besides, you’ll be going to Visegrad anyway, so why not combine business with pleasure. What does “I won’t go” mean, you’re just not yet
The Vysehrad observation deck overlooking the New Town is located at the very entrance from the Stone Gate. You won't pass by!

The Prague National Theater was built by the whole country. It took 20 years to collect money, 13 to build it. To enhance the symbolic meaning, the first stone of the foundation was broken out of Mount Rzhip. According to myths, the forefather Czech lived in the mountain. The stone was laid in 1868.

Prague is beautiful not only while walking along small cozy streets, but also when viewing interesting architectural structures from above. The orange roofs of the houses are especially beautiful. When you go up to some observation deck, you just want to sit on a bench and admire Prague. Therefore, in this post I will talk about some observation platforms in Prague.
Petrin Hill
- How to get there and address: The closest tram stop to Petřín Hill is Újezd, from which the funicular goes up the hill. A ticket for the cable car costs the same as a ticket for , and can be purchased from a machine before boarding the cable car (the machine only accepts coins). The following trams go to the Újezd stop: 9, 12, 20, 22 and night trams 57, 58, 59. Tower address: Petřínská rozhledna, Petřínské sady.
- : 120 CZK – adult ticket. For children, students and pensioners, the entrance fee is 65 CZK.
I consider the best observation deck in Prague to be 327 meters high. Eiffel Tower(Petřín Tower) on it. The height of the Eiffel Tower is 60 meters. Be sure to climb this hill and tower to enjoy a magnificent panorama of Prague. The ascent is carried out on foot, but there are no crowds of tourists here, and this is the highest point in Prague. In addition to the tower, excellent views of Prague open from other points on the hill.
Letensky Gardens
- How to get there and address: In Czech gardens are called Letenské sady. There are at least 5 tram stops around the garden, but it is more convenient to start your walk from the Letenské náměstí stop, which can be reached by trams on the following routes: 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 12, 14, 25, 26.
- Cost of visiting the viewing room: for free
I give second place in the list of the best viewpoints in Prague Letensky Gardens(Letenské sady), which are a hill overlooking the city. This garden is also a popular place for relaxation and walks among Prague residents, who have picnics here and drink Czech beer under the crowns of chestnut trees. Photos from the Leten Gardens with bridges will not leave anyone indifferent. And wedding photo sessions are often held near the Hanavský pavilon restaurant.
Žižkov TV Tower

The nearby houses with red-orange tiled roofs look especially nice from the tower.
Visegrad
- How to get there and address: The best way to get to the hill is by metro; you need to take the red line to the Vyšehrad station.

One of my favorite viewpoints in Prague is the hill, which offers interesting views of Prague and its tiled roofs. There are several advantages to walking around Vysehrad: the absence of tourists, the shade of trees and the opportunity to see several districts of Prague from above for free. In addition, you can have a small picnic here, grabbing drinks, fruit and some buns from the store.

Prague is called by different names. That’s how it is with people: what they especially like should be called in a special way. One of the most popular nicknames is “the city of a hundred spiers” or, to put it more succinctly, “a hundred towers”. And the reason for this is very clear - in Prague there is not only something to see, but also where to come from.
So, let's look at the top most spectacular skyscrapers in Prague. Popular and little-known. Free ones and those for which you have to spend a little money. By the way, for more convenient differentiation by price, next to each attraction there are eloquent icons “ ” and “ 
».
Petrin observation tower /
It is perhaps logical to start the selection from the highest point of the city. One of these is the Petřín observation tower. This metal structure is often called the Prague Eiffel Tower and, it must be said, there are reasons for this.
On the Petrin Tower there are observation platforms one above the other, which can be reached either on your own, that is, by stairs, or by elevator. Naturally, the first method, unlike the second, is free. The height of the tower is 80 meters, but the last observation deck is located only at 55.
The Petrin Tower is located on the hill of the same name, which even from a height of fifty meters allows you to see not only the whole of Golden Prague, but also its surroundings. They say that on a clear day you can even see the Krkonose Mountains from here, although their distance from the capital is no less than one and a half hundred kilometers.
South tower of St. Vitus Cathedral
The Cathedral Tower is the second highest observation deck in the city. Despite the fact that part of the cathedral is free to visit, you need to pay a hundred crowns to enter the south tower.
The total height of the tower is 96 meters. The observation deck is located slightly lower. There is no lift here, and you will have to climb three hundred steps on your own, but the view that awaits you at the end of the path is worth it. From the observation deck you can clearly see Old and New Prague, as well as a sea of red and brown roofs that smoothly merge with the horizon.
Towers on
Here it is - confirmation that in the “heart of Europe” it is not at all necessary to relax with a tightly stuffed wallet. The Charles Bridge, as well as its observation towers, is the crown jewel of Prague's free attractions.
From the Old Town Tower, which can be climbed in just 136 steps, you can see the Old Town and the opposite side of the bridge, on which are the Lesser Town, Mala and Vysokoja towers. The larger one offers views of Prague Castle and the Church of St. Nicholas.
Old Town Hall Tower
In the old days, the 56-meter tower served the city residents as an observation post. From its top, sentries watched over the surrounding area and reported on fires breaking out. Nowadays, this Gothic building attracts tourists with picturesque views of the Old Town.
Having paid the entrance fee, visitors can rightly count on elevator services. However, there is no urgent need for it here - according to “eyewitnesses”, the tower provides the most humane ascent, since it is not hundreds of steps that lead to the observation deck, but inclined slabs.
Hanavi Pavilion
This treasure is hidden in the Leten Gardens. Initially, the pavilion was built as an exhibit for the Industrial Exhibition, but a lot of water has passed under the bridge since 1891, and the purpose of the building has changed radically. Nowadays a restaurant is open here.
However, for connoisseurs of panoramic views, the local area is not of gastronomic value. The Hanavsky Pavilion offers a breathtaking view of the Vltava, as well as almost all of Prague’s bridges. Considering that the city has earned the nickname "Venice of the North", such a view is certainly worth a lot!
Žižkov TV Tower
The Žižkov Television Tower, an indoor observation deck that is definitely worth the money spent, also won its place of honor in the top high-rise buildings.
The tower was erected only a couple of decades ago, but during this time it managed to acquire the title of “the second ugliest building in the world.” After such name-calling, the TV tower lost its original purpose, was reconstructed and is now one of the most popular observation platforms in Prague.
At an altitude of 93 meters there are three different halls, on the lower floors there is a restaurant, a cafe and a one-of-a-kind hotel consisting of one room. It was decided to leave even the huge black babies that can be seen standing on the Charles Bridge on the walls of the tower.
They say the best way to see Prague is from a bird's eye view. Whether this is true or not is up to you to judge. However, having climbed one of the high-rise buildings, it is impossible not to pay tribute to the “hundred-tower” one. And for this it is not at all necessary to conquer the whole hundred!
You can visit all the sites on your own or book an individual excursion with us, which will include not only these attractions, but also many other interesting places in Prague. Contact us with any questions. We are always happy to help our clients.
