Is it a spaceship that crash-landed in Prague? No, it’s the Žižkov Television Tower. Many find its design unusual. But this unique tower, completed in 1992, has become a symbol of Prague’s skyline. Rising 216 meters high, the Žižkov Television Tower dominates the Prague skyline. It offers breathtaking views of the city. A lesser-known fact: the tower was initially met with resistance due to its proximity to an old Jewish cemetery. It even earned the dubious title of the second ugliest building in the world according to VirtualTourist.com! However, over time, Prague residents have embraced the tower, its unique charm growing on them. Today it is a beloved landmark. Its most striking feature is undoubtedly the ten giant baby sculptures that crawl up and down its sides. These sculptures by Czech artist David Černý, added in 2000, initially sparked controversy, but now contribute to the tower’s quirky charm. Today the Žižkov Television Tower is more than a transmitter. It houses a restaurant, a one-room hotel offering unparalleled views, and observation decks where you can enjoy panoramic cityscapes.
