Powder Tower, Prague

From this place in the old city you can usually walk around Prague. Better be free and visit every small streets cause many interesting you can watch. It's looks like small district but you need to have a lot of time to walk here, cause many exciting places, shops, tavernas, restaurants. So enjoy slowly, without fast. It's very historical and every building has own stories

This tower was unusual as compared to the buildings around it. This looks like more older and didn't had paint, which is understandable as the building is has proper stone finishing outside. I was roaming the city and found many people in sport wear. Then I followed them and came to know that the day was Czech Run, which is an event of Czech marathon. I saw many international players participating in that marathon. I was there when the race was finished. Some runners from Africa were on the top lists who finished the race. There were many local artists who were singing. I felt a sense of happiness in all the people around. The race finished at this tower. The tower was originally built as one of the main entrances of the Old city. later the tower was used to store the gun powder and got its name as The Powder Tower. I had some photographs which I am sharing with you. I don't know ho it looks from inside but from outside it looks stunning. Beautiful architecture.

Amazing view from the top! There are metal plaques that help you recognise all the major buildings of the city. It's so fun to pinpoint them. Great experience. The stairs are narrow so you have to be careful when it's crowded.

If you’re not very physically fit, parts of this tower might be one of the harder ones to climb in Prague. But the view at the top is worth it, the location is a good one for views over Prague and the architecture of the walkway around the top is unusual for the city. It adds an interesting element the other towers in the city don’t have.

There is great view from the top of of the tower. There are couple of hundreds of steps but it is totally worth to effort. But, if you do not have so much time in Prague, you can skip there. View from the prague castle and from the tower of the church there are much better. That are is located in higher altitude.
