Don’t bother with the tour. The library is beautiful but you’re only allowed to look in from the doorway for a minute or two. The rest of the time is spent climbing up and down stairs in the tower. There are plenty of other places in Prague to get a scenic view for less money.

Stunning library and amazing astronomical tower with top balcony giving you panoramic view of the city. Unfortunately you're only allowed to peek into the dim lit library literally from the doorstep (too many people in the room affect temperature and humidity which influence aging process of the books). You actually see more on the postcards and photos they sell in the ticket office. Definitely a must see though if you're hoping to see the library in detail or walk across the room you'll be bitterly disappointed. The view from the balcony on the tower definitely sweetens the deal.

Interesting visit. The library is somehow impressive. Comments from the guide were rather uninteresting. The astronomical tower and the 360’ view from the top floor is obviously the most interesting part of the visit.

Gorgeous historical library and beautiful views from the tower, with a nice and informative guide. But keep in mind you're not allowed to take photos of the library or to walk inside. Still definitely worth the trip.

Five stars. The tour was nice and quick. But the library was breath taking. The view from the top of the tower was also really nice. There are a lot of steps to go up. There is an elevator for those who can't take the steps, however it doesn't go all the way up. And the last flight of stairs is very steep, technically it's a ladder. .
