Prašná brána

This is one of the senior landmark in Prague, Czechia. it’s located in old town Prague, you will walk pass by it whenever you are in the old town or the new town area.

It’s unique color, makes it very recognizable from far away . This is also how it received its name which was combined with its original purpose.

It is open to the public to go up , but since we did not go up, so we cannot really share any inside pictures or videos here.

Found this randomly and decided to go up. You can buy tickets at the ticket booth across from the front entrance outside, or by card. At the top of the entry stairs. It was a really great view and we had it all to ourselves during nighttime hours. Really cool, with the wooden structure and the wind blowing, making everything creak and sound somewhat spooky.

Beautiful views from the top of tower. Do check if you can buy ticket during first hour to get 50% discount. Enjoy stunning views of the city

Such an underrated spot! The ticket booth is located on the sidewalk on the north side of the tower. They also offer tickets bundled for other historical attractions around town. Cash and card is accepted. There are two floor of the tower and then the roof terrace and attic. Your ticket will be checked in the first floor. The staircase leading up is barely wide enough for people to pass so be careful. There are exhibits on each floor, but you're probably going up for the view at the top. Go at sunset for the best views! Tripods aren't allowed, but you're able to rest a camera on the ledges at each window. It's probably the best view in the city.

Right next to the town hall building. Located in the centre of Prague and you cannot miss this spot. It is standing there and has been witnessing so much change of this fantastic city. It looked extremely beautiful in snow!

Really fancy and beautiful Cafe, where should i start.... The service is amazingly fast and the food is so delicious, the cake was so good, there is a life Piano music that makes the atmosphere super cozy, there is a Robot that drves around and collect the dirty dishes, the interior is like a barok stile nice and warm, and the prices are not so expensive. It is highly recommended

Really nice view of prague. The stairway is really narrow and longer than you think,but the view made it worth it.
Tickets are sold next to the entrance on the outside or with an vending machine inside. There's an 50% discount in the first hour of opening.

Such a beautiful place! I had no idea what to expect. Everywhere you look theres a great photo to be had. So much history it's mind blowing. Was only here a day and a half- saw all the highlights in a guided 6 hour walking tour. Worth the money! Included lunch and a boat tour. They carry an orange umbrella- si they are visible. George our guide was amazing.

Really great experience for £6.50 admission fee. Can get right up to the top and walk around and see Prague in all its glory!

Definitely go here if you’re visiting the city!

It is otherwise known as the Powder Tower or Powder Gate and seperates the Old Town from the New Town. It is walking distance from the Old Town Square and there are lots to see around this part of Prague. The Tower itself was used to store Gunpowder hence the name of Powder Tower. It is a Gothic Tower and well worth seeing as part of Prague.

It is a very beautiful and spectacular presence. The surroundings here are particularly beautiful at night. Very suitable for walking and shopping even during the day.

Decent views and a decent price.
Just be aware there is a narrow spiral staircase to get up and down the tower.

No worries on weekdays. You can enter at any time due to the schedule. Or just walk around and enjoy the scenery.

It feels like an old man still standing tall with all its grace and watching us mortals.

Important landmark which you will find during your city walks

This is one of the 13 gates of the city. It is well know as most visitors walk through this gate towards the old town. You can climb the 186 steps inside the tower to reach the viewing platform at 44m, for views over the Old Town.

A beautiful bridge with views of Prague Castle in the distance if you approach from the direction of the Old Town. It was busy when we visited (mid morning) but not too busy and there was a fantastic live jazz band playing. Recommend trying to visit the bridge at a time when it is less busy as, when we passed by at another day around noon, it was absolutely packed with people. Well worth visiting though and beautiful at night when it is lit up.

Worth to climb each stairs to enjoy the city view!! It’s a must place to see before leaving Prague .

Fantastic free guided tour included in the price. Half price admission between 9-10. Highly recommend.

This was my 2nd visit to Prague in 5 years. This is one of Mt most favorite and most beautiful historical cities. Every where, every nuke and corner, every street in old town, there is a story to learn and cherish. Amazing architectural marvels, the churches, castles, bridges, monuments, buildings, theaters... if you love the ancient architectural rennaissannce and sculptures, then this is one such city you can not miss to cover in your eastern Europe tour. You can spend a minimum of 2 to preferably 3 or a maximum of 4 days here to enjoy city tours in detail.

The Powder Tower, or Prašná brána, stands as an iconic landmark that welcomes visitors to the historic heart of Prague. This magnificent tower serves as a gateway to the city's past, leaving a lasting impression with its striking architecture and historical significance.

Approaching the Powder Tower, its imposing presence commands attention. The tower's Gothic design, adorned with intricate details and decorative elements, is a testament to the craftsmanship of the era. As one of the original city gates, the tower stands as a reminder of Prague's medieval fortifications and the rich history that unfolds within its walls.
