Amazing views from the Tower. The price is a fair price, I didn't have to queue long around 3 minutes. I paid to go up on the lift, which was well worth it, and then walked back down and then walked down the hill to Charles Bridge (which my legs regretted the next day) I definitely recommend visiting especially on a clear day. You can see the whole of Prague
This place is a must for newcomers to Prague. Here you can get an amazing view of the city at any time of the day. You can get to the tower by foot (which is a somewhat challenging but enjoyable walk), by car or by the lift (or whatever it is called) that takes you all the way up. I recommend the walk if you are a fit person and if the temperature is not too high. Otherwise go for any of the other options. To get to the top of the tower you must pay a ticket, which is not expensive. Then you have to climb up using the stairs. This is also somewhat challenging but on your way up you get a great view.
I recommend to buy a ticket online. It's fast and uncomplicated and also you have the opportunity to add a visit in the house of mirrors for more favorable. You can choose between an elevator and maybe about 300 steps, but I recommend to walk because of the sight. There are two reversed stairs, so you don't have problems with people walking downstairs. In April the elevator was broken, but if you want to use it you will have to pay little more. The view is stunning.
I would recommend you to go to this tower by walking. I have climbed for 35 min from down to the top. I have enjoyed the city view by stopping when ever I get tired. Meanwhile you will walk across some old buildings or it might be a fort wall from the past. As you reach the tower you can buy a lift or stair walking ticket to reach to the top. I took stair ticket and climber to the top. You get a breathtaking view from the top. It was an amazing experience. Please don't miss this place if you visit Prague.
A tad bit over rated but beautiful nonetheless. Beautiful grounds and trees surround the tower. After hiking up steep hills to see it, I was grateful for the “I Love You” cafe east of the tower. Homemade pies and cakes with a nice glass of lemonade to enjoy. The whole area is a great place to walk around exploring or just sitting under a tree resting, enjoying the view. Oh yes, there’s a Tram you can take up and down the mountain if you don’t want to hike all the way up.
