The Renaissance White Tower in Hradec Králové is one of the most significant symbols of the city and an irresistible destination for lovers of history, architecture and beautiful views. If you climb the 227 steps, you will be rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic view of the city, the Elbe River and the surrounding countryside. From the top, you can also admire other historical sights such as the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit, the Great Square, the Museum of East Bohemia and the Gallery of Modern Art.

With its 72 metres, the tower is not only a landmark of the city, but also a carrier of a rich history. During the climb, you can read interesting facts about the city and the tower itself on interactive panels. The Augustine bell from 1577 is an unmistakable feature, one of the largest and oldest bells in Bohemia. Even today, it regularly rings during important events and festivities. Another unique feature is the glass model of the tower made of more than 500 pieces of crystal glass, weighing 1000 kg, which is located right inside the tower.

At the beginning of 2025, we had the opportunity to experience a unique evening tour that takes place on the first Saturday of every month from 8:00 pm to 12:00 am. The tour at night had a unique charm, and the views of the illuminated city from the top of the tower were absolutely breathtaking. If you’re looking for something special, we definitely recommend the night tour!
