Hi!
Heading to Prague next January and wondering which church tower we should climb. Due to it being colder and shorter days, I'm thinking we only have time for one. I'm looking at either climbing the tower in St. Vitus Cathedral or the tower in Church of St. Nicholas (Lesser Town, not the church in the Old Town). Has anyone climbed both? What did you prefer? If you've climbed only one, please let me know if you thought it was worth it as well since I'll take all experiences into consideration when deciding. Thanks for your help!

Different views. If you do the St Nicholas belfry you overlook the surrounding building complexes and you look slightly up at the Castle but you can't see behind the Castle. For me it's 100% to do the Great South Tower at Prague Castle (St Vitus Cathedral Tower). Fantastic views 360 degrees. From there I can see within 1km of where I live and that's 20km away from the Castle.
