Žižkov Television Tower
Žižkovský vysílač
A 216-metre futuristic TV tower covered in David Černý's “baby” sculptures. Its observation deck offers a 360-degree view of Prague.
Žižkov Television Tower was completed in 1992. It is the tallest building in Prague and was once named one of the world's ugliest buildings, yet it became a viral landmark thanks to David Černý's giant faceless baby sculptures. The observation deck at 93 metres offers 360-degree views of the castle and the Old Town. At 66 metres there is a restaurant, and there is also the “Space Capsule Hotel,” which has just one guest room. Admission is about 300 CZK. Jiřího z Poděbrad metro station (Line A) is about a 5-minute walk away, and the surrounding Žižkov district is full of bars.
