There are a several places that tourists are recomended for unforgetibal views of the city. The TV Tower in Zizkov, the Petrin Hill Tower and of course the tower in St Vitus Cathedral. We tryed the last one. It was realy worth it. For those who are not fit fisicly, I would recomend the TV Tower since it has an elevator. Here are some pictures taken from the top of the Cathedral.

I took this picture which looks like a postcard :) from the nice Powder Tower (Prasna Brana) - built in 1475, 65 meters high, for which I had to climb the 186 stairs to the roof's four viewing points. Two of these viewing points looks out to the Old Town Square, projecting the pointing roofs of the Tyn Church into the sky. Leave a Comment

Letna Park is where the Metronome resides. However go up there, and head off towards the Castle (but not that far). This is where you will get the best views of Prague from, indeed this is the stereotypical view of Prague, but it took me a little while to find it as I went up Petrin Hill first only to be disappointed.
I think the best time to go up is a little while before sunset, and probably on the longer days of the year so that the sun gives the best lighting. Whilst you are up there, look for all the bridges and there different uses. The one nearest has a tram going over and a boat about to go under. The second nearest is Charles Bridge, which is a pedestrian only bridge (and Prague’s most famous bridge). Leave a Comment Address: Near the Metronome

There are many locations offering excellent views of old town Prague other than from the tops of the St. Vitus bell tower and the old city hall tower. For example, there are great views of Prague Castle, St. Vitus Cathedral, and upper mala strana, from the beautiful Strahov Monastery complex. This photo was taken from that location. There is no charge to visit the complex. The Petrin hill tower, Petrin hill park, Letna park, and several other locations also offer great views. The many flowering trees that bloom in mid to late April provide the perfect setting for your views.
Allow yourself time to visit the fascinating sites missed by most tourists. You will be greatly rewarded for the minimal effort. Use Prague's excellent public transportation network to quickly get to these " remote " locations. Tram #22 will take you to Strahov Monastery and to unforgettable places along the route.
Enjoy Prague and get local. Leave a Comment

After all that sightseeing of the Castle area and Strahov Monastery you can drink in the view from its orchard gardens - part of Petrin Hill. Of course if you still have energy left you can explore Petrin Hill's attractions - see my off the beaten path tips. For now though I was happy to leave that for another day and sit and drink in the views of the River Vltava and its bridges.
Alternatively if all this excursion has made you hungry then the monastery restaurant in this complex - Klasterni Pivovar Restaurant of SV Norbert serves up tasty czech fare. I enjoyed a real tasty goulash and beer there at very reasonable cost.

One of the most comfortable panoramic views of Prague. The tower has a cafe and a restaurant.
On a clear day you can see places up to 100 kilometers away. Which is a diameter encompassing the following large cities: Plzeň, Rakovník, Most, Teplice, Ústí nad Labem, Děčín, Česká Lípa, Liberec, Jablonec nad Nisou, Jičín, Hradec Králové, Poděbrady, Jihlava, Tábor and Písek.

Some of the locations seen in the photo are St Nicholas' Church in Mala Strana Square, the St Charles' bridge and the Legii bridge, as well as the Vltave itself.
All places visited by tourists and travellers alike in their walks throughout the Old Town. Leave a Comment Directions: View from the Hradcany to Mala Strana on the west bank of the Vltava river.

Visiting either the Nove Mesto (The New City) or Stare Mesto (The Old City), the housing architecture is striking, beside the plentitude of towers (tip: climb into the Powder Tower to see a wonderful presentation of Pragues recent and old towers), every house looks incurrable romantic.
Wouldn't you just love to live in a house like this one in the picture? Leave a Comment

I was really in luck with a great weather. Bad weather definitely distort your perspective of a new city that you visit. The true beauty of Prague together with this nice weather, made me to instantly fall in love with this city.
The River Vltava crossing trough Prague is really large and it is a wonderful feature of the city. Because of it, there are bridges and you can have cruises with the boats. Leave a Comment

Thanks to my VT friend Eugene (eugene.uk), i didn't miss the incredible sunsets over the Charles Bridge, with the Prague Castle looking at the top of the hill.
Lots of tourists were waiting for the perfect shoot, and I was one of them. I wish to have a better camera on that moment… Leave a Comment Address: Charles Bridge
