One of my favorite views of Prague! Magical place! Took me many years to visit the majestic Old Town Bridge Tower, despite passing by quite frequently. Once I climbed the stairs to the rooftop, I was amazed and the views took my breath away! You get to see everything in front of you perfectly laid out - the Vltava river, Charles bridge, Petrin, Mala Strana and the majestic Prague castle - its pitch perfect! Once you visit this place, you will hardly find a better view of Prague. On the other side you will see the Old Town and the reason why Prague's nickname is the "city of a hundred spires". It surprises me that down below the tower are so many people and tourists, it's hard to pass though the bridge, but only few walk up the stairs to enjoy the panoramic views. The marvelous gothic tower has 3 floors - at the first one, only the ticket office is located, nothing else. Entrance fee of 150 CZK (approx. 6 EUR) seems reasonable and it's possible to pay by card. On the second floor a small exhibition is open to the public (in August 2022 it was about the Mystery of Seven Mascarons) with information available in Czech and English. On the third floor, respectively roof, the open observation platform is located offering amazing panoramic views of Prague (definitely want to visit during sunset time, it must be memorable). The path there is very narrow and it's almost impossible to bypass other tourists. Some metal boards are available to inform about major monuments and attractions around the city that are visible from up here. Entrance is from under the tower from the Charles Bridge via a very small door. If you are here, definitely make up time and visit this tower, it's worth every penny! Last visited in August 2022. Tip 1: Apparently there are commented tours available at 10 AM, 12 AM and 18 PM, unfortunately only in Czech language. Tip 2: There is a 50% discount on entry fee if you visit within the first hour of opening!

I recently had the pleasure of visiting the Old Town Bridge Tower in Prague, and I was absolutely blown away by its beauty and history. This iconic landmark is a must-see for anyone visiting the city. The tower is located at the entrance to the Charles Bridge, and it offers stunning views of the Vltava River and the Prague Castle. The interior of the tower is just as impressive, with its Gothic architecture and medieval artwork. I was particularly impressed by the tower's observation deck,...
