Banská Bystrica – City Clock Tower
Banská Bystrica, Slovakia

Banská Bystrica – City Clock Tower

Type: viewpoint

A freestanding Renaissance tower 26 meters tall on Námestie SNP, originally used as a fire lookout. During the summer season it is open to visitors, and the view from the top takes in the entire square and the surrounding hills — well worth the ten-minute climb.

Tickets

Entry: Tickets from ~3.00 EUR
Indicative price — confirm the exact amount before booking.
Tickets can also be purchased on-site.

The ticket provides access to the tower with a view of the city square and the surrounding area. It is recommended to purchase on-site during opening hours.

⛰️ Heads up: Hilly approach — the uphill section may add about 25 percent to the walking time to the attraction.
