The very climb to the Špilberk lookout is an experience! When you climb all 103 steps from the small courtyard, you will be rewarded with the most beautiful view of the whole of Brno. The historic core of the city with all its landmarks is at your fingertips, the outskirts are a stone's throw away, and in good weather you can even see the well-known silhouette of Pálava.

The only observation tower that offers a 360' view not only of the whole of Brno, but also of the entire city.

It includes entrance to the Royal Chapel and the Prismatic Tower. In the past, these areas formed a representative and defensive part of medieval Špilberk. Today we can probably do without the defensive function, but the representative spaces are still there.

The observation tower is closed in case of bad weather.

It includes seven permanent exhibitions. From history to art = From the castle to the fortress / Prison of nations / Brno at Špilberk / For new Brno / – Gallery of Brno city: Austrian Moravia - Moderna - From moderna to the present

You have a unique opportunity to see what has been hidden from the public eye until now, such as weapons and armor of the Middle Ages, the story of the Brno armed burghers and rifle corps or rare and decorative weapons together with a reminder of the work of the Brno riflemen.
