As one of our daily trips from Prague, Hradec Kralove surprised us in a good and bad way. We really enjoyed the visit at White Tower. It was no wait for a ticket, employees were really friendly and the whole experience was elevating. I made wonderful pictures yet tried to avoid the parking lot. Here comes the bad news. I really don't understand why the square and the street before and around the most beautiful sites in the center are filled WITH CARS!?! Please just find them another place in the city. The square is really beautiful and unfortunately uglified with cars. If it's a market like any other Czech town, especially around the main statue in front of the Cathedral, it would be much more appealing and beautiful. Someone must write a letter to the mayor (with a petition from the residents) because this is nonsense!

I have been coming to Hradec Kralove for years for business and never had a chance to visit this tower partly because it was under renovation for quite some time. The tower is in the middle of the 11th century town square. It was lovingly and expertly restored into a worthy attraction. The view at the top is breathtaking, you can see the town of Hradec Kralove and surrounding areas laid out beautifully in a 360-degree panorama. On the way up the tower you will see th the bell and the cleverly restored platforms, a lot of thoughts went into the design of this place. A thoroughly enjoyable visit.

Not expensive at all to go up in the tower, and very much worth the view! It's just beautiful at the top. There are many stairs to the top and no lift to assist you, but it's a good climb if you are able! There are things to read and see on the way up and down as well. So you learn a little history while you're there. Comming down was a bit challenging for my fear of heights, since you can see through parts of the stairs and see a long way down haha. Enjoy!

Beautiful tower after great reconstruction, beautiful view - and you can even book sunrise and night tours. There are interactive boards inside the tower with information about the culture in the city and its history, tasks and puzzles, and also a beautiful glass model of the tower. Lots of stairs there, including newly built "flying" construction (so if you hate to see under your feet, keep this in mind), pretty steep but safe.

Bílá věž was recently restored and is worth visiting not just for the views of the city from the conservation deck, but as a demonstration of beautiful contemporary "small architecture" - the staircase and the railings are very chic. The dramatic lighting and moody music may be a little campy, but why not. There is also a light installation of the model of the tower and multimedia panels with historical information.

Колокольня в стиле ренессанс была построена в 1574-1589 годах во время правления императора Максимилиана II. Служила городу сторожевой и пожарной башней. Первоначально она называлась "Нова веж", но позже её переименовали в "Била веж", так как была построена из белого камня. В 1729 году был проведен первый масштабный ремонт башни, во время которого на куполе установили медный мак, а также герб Градец-Кралове и шестиконечную звезду. 4 июля 1929 года мак на Белой башне был поврежден ураганом, в результате его снова отремонтировали. Также в 1935 году были отремонтированы деревянные конструкции и заменено медное покрытие купола. В 1989-1993 годах также проводились масштабные реставрационные работы. Башня считается второй по высоте в Чехии, она возносится на 71,5 метра. На первом месте в этом рейтинге – колокольня собора святого Вита в Праге. Внутри подвешен один из старейших массивных колоколов, у которого есть свое название "Августин". Весит он 10 тонн. Отлит он был более пяти веков назад и до сих пор находится в рабочем состоянии. До пандемии внутри башни проводили экскурсии.
