🇨🇿 Climbed 300 Steps for THIS View! Prague's Best Photo Spot ✨
"My legs hate me... but my camera LOVES me!" After 287 grueling spiral steps (no elevator!), I reached the Great South Tower of St. Vitus Cathedral—and wow, the panoramic payoff was worth every gasp! 📍 The Spot: Great South Tower (South Bell Tower) of St. Vitus Cathedral 📸 Best for: Golden-hour cityscapes, Charles Bridge close-ups, and that iconic "100 Spires" view. 📝 Need-to-Know: 🎟️ Ticket: 200 CZK (~€8) (cash/card) ⏰ Hours: 10AM-5:30PM (last entry 30 mins before) 🎒 Bags: No storage! Leave big backpacks at your hotel (shoutout to the kind ticket lady who saved my 50L camera bag!). 📷 Gear: 70-200mm lens ideal (or phone 3-5x zoom + crop later). 💡 Pro Tips: 1️⃣ Go near sunset—the golden light on red rooftops is chef’s kiss. 2️⃣ Wear grippy shoes—centuries-old steps are worn smooth & steep! 3️⃣ Hydrate first—no water up top! 4️⃣ Shoot fast—space is tight (only ~10 people fit at the summit). #Prague #PhotographyHacks #WorthTheClimb
