    I have been coming to Hradec Kralove for years for business and never had a chance to visit this tower partly because it was under renovation for quite some time. The tower is in the middle of the 11th century town square. It was lovingly and expertly restored into a worthy attraction. The view at the top is breathtaking, you can see the town of Hradec Kralove and surrounding areas laid out beautifully in a 360-degree panorama. On the way up the tower you will see th the bell and the cleverly restored platforms, a lot of thoughts went into the design of this place. A thoroughly enjoyable visit.

    They write recently renovated it on the inside and have made the tower a much better place to go visit! The interactive touchscreens to help you learn as you climb, you'll feel much more educated on the tower by the tone you leave and as it has the highest vantage point of the city there's great views

    Not expensive at all to go up in the tower, and very much worth the view! It's just beautiful at the top. There are many stairs to the top and no lift to assist you, but it's a good climb if you are able! There are things to read and see on the way up and down as well. So you learn a little history while you're there. Comming down was a bit challenging for my fear of heights, since you can see through parts of the stairs and see a long way down haha. Enjoy!

    Best view in the city.

    A challenge for me as I am scared of heights but the view was worth it!

  • 5/5 Janek J. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice view of the city, very interactive.

  • 5/5 Kath C. 1 year ago on Google
    Modern interior of the tower made the climb up the stairs really enjoyable. The view from the top was quite spectacular. Definitely a thing to do in Hradec Kralove.

    A MUST VISIT place while in HK. I’m afraid of heights, but I’ve been multiple times. It went under reconstruction multiple years ago, it now has interactive boards with information about its history.

  • 5/5 Jiří �. 1 year ago on Google
    A prime example of how the landmark renovation should be done. Great experience, well worth all the time spent and steps walked. I will return for sure, just for the view and to make sure I can mark all the other architecture marvels around.

    Nice and better than I expected. Beautiful views.

  • 5/5 Peter J. 1 year ago on Google
    A view tower directly in the historic center of Hradec Kralove. Payment needed to access it, but worth of it - the view from the top is beautiful. Only thing spoiling it is the fact that for whatever reason the main square below is filled with parked cars.

  • 5/5 Martin R. 7 years ago on Google
    Beautiful sight, especially after the reconstruction the interior is very nice. I loved the view and screens that show photos from around 100 years ago and new photos in comparison. Glass model is nice as well, but not the main thing I would come to see.

  • 5/5 Nikos P. 3 years ago on Google
    With a little bit of money you can have a little trip on the history of the tower and the city as well as a great view on the top. Quite memorable is the miniature of the tower, made of completely out of glass.

  • 5/5 Jacob H. 4 years ago on Google
    Lovely view from the tower in the center of Hradec Kralove. Completely restored insode in 2015 makes a visit here a pleasant experience. Worth a visit!

  • 5/5 janina .. 7 years ago on Google
    Beautiful tower after great reconstruction, beautiful view - and you can even book sunrise and night tours. There are interactive boards inside the tower with information about the culture in the city and its history, tasks and puzzles, and also a beautiful glass model of the tower. Lots of stairs there, including newly built "flying" construction (so if you hate to see under your feet, keep this in mind), pretty steep but safe.

  • 5/5 Aleš R. 3 years ago on Google
    Bílá věž was recently restored and is worth visiting not just for the views of the city from the conservation deck, but as a demonstration of beautiful contemporary "small architecture" - the staircase and the railings are very chic. The dramatic lighting and moody music may be a little campy, but why not. There is also a light installation of the model of the tower and multimedia panels with historical information.

😠 The place is really small , it is actually 1 large tank, 1 room with fish skulls and cafeteria. Maybe it would be fine for a quarter of the price. We paid 500,- Kc (2 adults, 2 children) and it is really not worth it. For this money you can go to ZOO and spend whole day there.

👍 Sitting comfortably on an outcrop of rock between the Labe and Orlice Rivers, Hradec Kralove’s hilltop Old Town allows for spectacular views from a number of lookout points that skirt around its perimeter.

👍👍 A great indoor play park for kidd. The food is pretty unhealthy and service is very slow. But the wifi is fast at 31 Mbps and I'll forgive them the food as kids love the play park.
