About this place
The landmark of České Budějovice with a magnificent view of the city and surroundings. Climb 225 steps and admire the panorama.
Černá věž is a Renaissance building from the 16th century, standing 72 meters tall and symbolizing České Budějovice. Originally used as a bell tower and watchtower, today it is a popular tourist destination thanks to its viewing platform.
After climbing 225 steps, you will be rewarded with a breathtaking circular view of the historic city center, the Vltava River, and on clear days, the peaks of Šumava and Novohradské hory. The tower is slightly tilted from the vertical axis, adding to its charm.
