Žižkov is a lively neighbourhood that attracts crowds of students to its numerous pubs. Well-dressed diners sip cocktails against a panoramic backdrop in the bar of the futuristic, communist-era Žižkov TV Tower. Vítkov Hill, topped by the monumental National Memorial, also offers sweeping views. Franz Kafka, the author of The Trial and The Metamorphosis, is buried in the New Jewish Cemetery.

The Žižkov TV Tower (Žižkovský vysílač) is a unique transmitter tower built in Prague between 1985 and 1992. Designed by the architect Václav Aulický and the structural engineer Jiří Kozák, it stands high above the city's traditional skyline from its position on top of a hill in the district of Žižkov, from which it takes its name. The tower is an example of high-tech architecture.
In 2000, ten fibreglass sculptures by Czech artist David Černý called "Miminka" (Babies), crawling up and down, were temporarily attached to the tower's pillars. The sculptures were admired by many and were returned in 2001 as a permanent installation. Another three Babies, made from bronze, can be found in Prague's Kampa Park. These Babies were removed from the tower for cleaning and structural checks in the fall of 2017. After examining the condition of the sculptures, it was decided to replace them with identical duplicates. In March 2019, the copies of the "Babies" were installed in their original positions. The actual Babies were returned to David Černý.
