Viewpoints in Prague
Prague rewards those who seek out its higher ground with sweeping views across the city and the Vltava valley. The Petřín Observation Tower and Laurenziberg are well-established vantage points, while the Žižkov Television Tower offers a striking perspective over the rooftops. The Národní památník na Vítkově provides broad views across the lowlands, and both the Old Town Bridge Tower and the Lesser Town Bridge Tower put visitors above the river right at its historic crossing. The Powder Tower, Čech Bridge, and the Dancing House add further vantage points along the waterfront, with Hazmburk Castle and Sommerberg rounding out the range of outlooks.

naturehistoryoutdoor activities+2Hazmburk is one of the most distinctive peaks in the Bohemian Central Highlands and is regarded as the landmark of the entire region. On its summit stand the ruins of the Gothic castle of Hazmburk, built around 1300 and the ancestral seat of the Bohemian noble family Zajíc of Hasenburg. The ruin with its two prominent towers — a round keep and a rectangular residential tower — is a popular hiking destination and rewards a short ascent with a spectacular panorama across the Ohře valley and the Bohemian lowlands to distant ridges. The castle was an important lordly residence in the Middle Ages; today it invites visitors to a memorable combination of history and natural experience.

Prague
architectureculturelocal gemsThe Žižkov Television Tower, at 216 meters, is Prague's tallest structure and one of its most unusual architectural landmarks. Completed in 1992, it was built on a Jewish cemetery in the Žižkov district, a fact that still sparks debate. The futuristic steel and glass construction was designed by architect Václav Aulický and continues to divide opinion: listed by Virtual Tourist as one of the world's ugliest buildings, it has nevertheless become unmistakably Praguian. It is also famous for the ten crawling baby sculptures by artist David Černý, which climb up the tower's shafts. The observation deck at 93 meters height offers wide panoramic views over Prague, and the tower also houses a hotel room.
