Nice climb to the top, rewarded by some great views of CB. Worth the 30czk admission and 30 mins of your time
Stunning view of the old tower is a great thing, but the clockwork inside is amazing. I couldn't stop watching it and try to understand how it works for a long. Enjoy!
For just 30 crowns you can climb this beautiful tower and watch the city from a different position! A good experience!
Giving the opportunity to have a great view to the surroundings, well maintained... worth to visit..
Incredible views from the top of the tower, Interesting history of the building. It is a long way up steep stairs to the top, not for the feint hearted.
Always go up any tower in any town, this is one of my favourites. The walk up is via seemingly random wooden staircases at all angles rather than the usual spiral staircase, so great fun to get to the top.
We walked up ALL those stairs for fun. Great views and photos. And we started to walk down at mid-day!!! Well, just then the big bell started ringing. Deafening, and exciting also. The whole place shook. What a memorable experience!
although the climb to the top of the tower may tire some, the view at the top is worth viewing. although the day was cloudy, the views were beautiful
A must-do activity! There are a lot of steps, but several stopping points on the way up. Excellent views of the town and surrounding countryside make the climb really worthwhile. There is a little shop at the top where you can purchase hand drawn postcards and have them stamped with the Black Tower symbol. These make lovely gifts to send home.
There are not that many tourist attractions in Ceske Budejovic. This and the town hall are probably the best in the old town. We had a clear day, so could see down into the old town, the town square and out past Hluboka nad Vltavou. The tower is 72 m high.The steps are steep, and on at least three occasions head clearance is very limited. Also, the steps are narrow. Take care; a nun, ahead of me, slipped down three or four steps on the way down.Views are OK. The best part was the history of the tower. A copy of this is available to read (in English and German too) in the shop at the top. Perhaps there should be more information available at different points on the way up.
