About Bílá věž
The White Tower stands beside Hradec Králové's historic core. The light-stone construction allows views over the town from above and serves as a reference for walks around the central squares. The visit combines an appreciation of the building itself and the view over the rooftops.
The tower has Renaissance origins and has been adapted for visitors. The ascent route lets you perceive its structure and the relationship with nearby religious buildings. It is a change in elevation experience within a relatively compact urban core, different from the mountain walks in the surrounding region.
Allow time for the staircase and choose the time based on visibility. Passing by the exterior is not equivalent to climbing to the viewpoint, which depends on confirmed visiting hours. After the top, walk through the squares to relate the view to the street layout, avoiding an immediate return to transport without seeing the old center.
