Access to Petřín Hill is made easy by the funicular railway that ascends from the Lesser Town (the stop - Lanová dráha Petřín - Újezd).

My tip:

The cable car to the Petřín Lookout Tower is usually very busy (You can wait up to 2 hours). Don’t waste time and walk to the top. The walk takes about half an hour and you can explore the park at the same time.

Explore Petřín

Petřín Hill, crowned by its distinctive Lookout Tower, is lush, green oasis in the heart of the city offers a tranquil escape from its bustling streets, with meandering paths through orchards, rose gardens, and shaded woodland areas that invite leisurely exploration.

The Petřín Lookout Tower, a 63.5-meter-tall steel framework structure, stands as a proud symbol atop the hill. Built in 1891 for the Jubilee Exhibition, the tower was inspired by the Eiffel Tower (though it is much shorter), and it quickly became one of the city's most iconic sights.

A climb up its 299 steps (or a ride in the elevator) rewards visitors with unparalleled 360-degree views of Prague, stretching from the sprawling Prague Castle complex across the red roofs of the Old Town to the meandering Vltava River and beyond.

One of the oldest carousels in Europe started spinning next to the Petřín lookout tower 🤩 The carousel with hand-carved horses and carriages dates back to the 18th century.
📍 It is located next to the Petřín Lookout Tower until the end of September. Open daily in the summer season from 9 AM to 9 PM.
