Trip Planner: Europe / Czech Republic / Bohemia / Prague / Petřín

Petřín, Prague

4.4

#2 of 277 in Parks in Czech Republic

On a clear day, Petřín offers sweeping views of Prague and beyond. Rising some 130 m (420 ft) above the left bank of the Vltava River, the hill is one of the city's most popular recreational areas for both visitors and natives. The hill's dominant feature is a 62 m (200 ft) high lookout tower, inspired by the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Although you can scramble up the hill on foot, the easiest way to access the top is by a century-old funicular railway. Once there, you can climb the lookout tower's 299 steps for a small fee, or picnic in the park for free. For Petřín and beyond, use our Prague travel planner to get the most from your Prague vacation.

Simply a must for the clearest view in Prague. Be warned though going to the top in windy condition is a very disorienting experience as it rocks. more »

Vi tog en stärkande promenad upp på berget ifrån gamla stan. Orkar man inte gå upp för den branta sluttningen så kan man köpa biljett till bergbanan. Det finns ingen anledning att betal entré för att ... more »

We took a bracing walk up the hill from the old town. Can't be bothered to get up for the steep slope so you can buy ticket for funicular. There is no need to pay admission to get up in the "Eiffel Tower" where the view from the Hill is already amazing. Take the road past the castle on the way down!

This tower is on the top of the Petrin hill. It provides really good top views of the Prague city. Do visit it at night. It is usually open until 10 pm. The night view of Prague is really beautiful.

The Petrin is Prague's smaller version of the Eiffel tower. It's located on a hill in a beautiful little park near to the city center. You could take a funicular to the park, which is quite fun. The view over the city, the Prague Castle and the Moldova is spectacular, don't miss it! It's worth to climb all the stairs!

Total disappoitment, cableway is out of service, park is reconstructed, you cant pay by card and ATM is also out of service... you have to pay entrance fee 150 Kčs and if you want to use lift there you have to pay another fee 60 Kčs (?!) I dont recommend you petrin, it is a waste of time

What a lovely park. The walk was beautiful and there was always something to look at. The old walls that still surround it are super cool. If you are interested in nature and history then go. The tower was a good walk to then up it but the view was incomparable to any other view in Prague

Awesome point. Alot of stuff to do for kids and adults as well. Rose garden is really beautiful have every color of rose. I will recommend to not try going up to the tower in the morning its too crowded as people prefer to visit this point in the morning .
