Town · 1–2 h · square with arcades, Samson fountain and a 72 m tower with 225 steps

The main square of České Budějovice is an almost perfect square surrounded by arcades, with the Samson fountain in the middle and the Baroque town hall on one side. It bears the name of the king who founded the town in the thirteenth century. On one corner rises the Black Tower, 72 m tall, next to St Nicholas Cathedral: 225 steps to the gallery, at about 46 m, with a view of the red rooftops. The tower opens only in season; the hours and ticket can be checked at the tourist office in the town hall.
