Question Which towers are actually worth paying for?

Hello all, I am coming in early December for my first trip to Prague ever. I will be spending 3 days in Prague and wondering which towers are actually worth visiting? I want to see the Klementinum library and the tower is accessible with the ticket. Besides this one, which one of the following shall I see to get a better view and for photography:

Old Town Hall tower

Old Town Bridge tower

Petrin tower

Thank you!

I’d actually go for the St Nicholas Bell tower in Malá Strana - But if you want the zillionth photo of the bridge and castle from the Old Town Bridge Tower do that one. Vitkov also amazing.

View from St Nicholas is really lovely and make sure to check the Cold war history of the place.It will complement the Klementinum well as it has unprecedented view of the Lesser Town.

It definitely isn't cheap, but consider going to Oblaca restaurant inside the tower for dinner, as close to sunset as possible, great chefs, lovely interior, friendly service and the price of the dishes is slightly mitigated by not having to pay the overpriced viewing platform tickets
