Zizkov TV Tower

Zizkov TV Tower

When I say "popular sight," I'm not entirely sure if that's the right expression as I have read that the TV Tower is very unpopular with the local population. It is, however, quite popular with the tourists as, from the pods 100m above the street, you get a 360-degree view of the city. Work on the tower began in 1985, and it is a futuristic-looking, grey, three-legged structure with three viewing pods attached just below the mast. We only visited it to get the views, and to see the giant babies that are currently attached to the tubular legs! Although I did read that Zizkov has more pubs and brothels per head than any other area in the city, so was kinda disappointed I couldn't explore further! To be honest, views are just as good from the miniature Eiffel Tower, and it has a nicer setting, sat atop a hill next to the castle and overlooking the river. On the other hand, it doesn't have giant babies crawling up it.
