Many friends and business partners from the US often ask me for tips when visiting Prague. Prague is a beautiful historic city, also known as The City of Hundreds of Towers. So I have prepared a city walk for you, following the nine most famous towers.

Some of the towers are 500 years old, so elevators are rare there, but it is not difficult to climb up. Depending on your fitness, you can climb the towers or just admire them from the outside. Enjoy the beauty of the city of Prague.

Jindriska Tower (Start)

Start your trip at Jindrisska Vez (Jindrisska Tower). The 46 meter high gothic style tower was built 1472-1476, rebuild 1876-1879. There is coffee, gallery, museum, restaurant and viewing terrace. Enjoy * view from there. There is the elevator.

Powder Tower (A)

Continue through Senovazne Square and Senovazna Street to Prasna Brana (Powder Tower). The 65 meter high gothic style tower was built 1475-1592, rebuild 1875-1876. There is gallery and viewing terrace. Enjoy ** view from there. There is no elevator.

Next to the Powder Tower find Obecni dum (Municipal Hall), one of the most remarkable constructions of Prague Art Nouveau. Building was built by architects Antonin Balsanek and Osvald Polivka and was open on November 22, 1912. Unfortunately you do not have enough time to go inside the building on this tour, but you can come back in the evening for the concert or dinner.

Old Town Hall Tower (B)

Continue through U Prasne Brany Street and Celetna Street to Staromestska Vez (Old Town Hall Tower) at Old Town Square. The 57 meter high gothic style tower is part of Old Town Hall and was built 1338-1364, rebuilding 1848. There is visitor’s center, gallery and viewing terrace. Enjoy ***** view from there. There is the elevator.

Unfortunately you do not have enough time to make detailed inspection of the Old Town Square on this tour, but you can come back the other day and visit particularly St. Nicholas Cathedral, Mr. Jan Hus Monument, Stone Bell House, visit stores in Parizska Street and look through the Jewish Town.

Tyn Church (C)

Just across from Old Town Hall is Tyn Church. The 80 meter high gothic style church was built 1360-1511, rebuild 1876-1895. Tower with viewing terrace is accessible through the church. Enjoy *** view from there.
