Lonely Planet review

Hideous or futuristic? Miminka , the 10 giant babies crawling up Prague's TV transmitter, have quelled such debates about this structure (1985-1992), as people just enjoy the quirkiness that sculptor David Černý has brought to the city's tallest landmark. Attractively lighting the 216m needle at night helps, too. High-speed lifts go to a 93m observation deck, but many people prefer the view from Petřín tower.

The 66m restaurant is dreadful and overpriced, and a film on the windows affects the admittedly expansive panorama (up to 100km on a good day).
