One of the most prominent landmarks of Prague, which strongly resembles the Eiffel Tower. Take the funicular up Petřín hill , then climb the observation tower for fine views over beautiful Prague city

LukaSH

You get one of the best views of Prague here. ???????? Fun fact: The top of Petrin Tower is at the same altitude as the top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Because of the hill , obviously. ????

Philip He

Very worth a climb up the hill for fantastic view of the city . Single ticket for the cable car uphill is 24 CZK (or use the 110 CZK public transportation day ticket). Pay extra 65 for the elevator .

Lasse Hoffmann

Best view over Prague. 150CZK for a climb up the stairs , 60CZK extra for an elevator ride. Well worth the price for a great view on the river and old town . Very crowdy at times.

Aoz Az

Excellent observatory specially during sunset , make sure you bring your water with you as there was no shops that day and note that using the elevator is chargeable

Io As Soon

The best sight of the town ! You can take the funicular to go there and go down by the forest afterwards. If the lift is down, it's a good health exercise due to the number of steps to climb! .

Oscar van Gend

Take the tilted tram up the hill (every 15 minutes & you can use Prague's "regular" public transport card so your 24h card can be used too!) The 299 steps are worth it. Take Student card for discount .

Violeta Slavova

One of the best views in Prague, take the stairs and enjoy the panorama. The gardens are also very beautiful and peaceful .

Fluying ✅

Built two years after the Eiffel Tower, is interesting that is 1/5 the height of the Parisian brother, but by being in a hill , both have the same elevation .

Matthias

The scenic view is breathtaking! Walking up the tower when it is very windy is an adventure as well ... ???? Don't miss out on this!

Jack Smith

This can become quite busy, as a lot of tourist groups descend here. For equally good views , which is less busy, try the Žižkov Television Tower, walking distance from Jiřího z Poděbrad metro station

Ann Kamenetskaya

One of the best views of Prague . Be ready to up and down by foot. Have a nice cafe on 1 stage with nice hot vine

Angela Grant

299 steps up...... and back down. Make sure you stop off on the way up for the views , as at the top you are enclosed by glass. Well worth the climb though! And yes... It does move in the wind!

Mini Eiffel Tower of Prague. Worth one visit. Nice views of the city below from the top. Free with Prague card. However lift is not included. The small ice cream shop below is nice.

This structure similar to the Eiffel Tower is one of the best places in Prague to get an amazing view of the beautiful Prague skyline. Also stop by the museum of Jara Cimrman on your way out.

Artyom Fedosov

If you came to Petrin Hill for the city view , you'll have to pay for entrance to lookout tower, because it's probably the only spot where view isn't blocked by trees .

Alex

Feels strange to have a copy of Eiffel. Couldn't attract me to climb after Eiffel since it not unique. On the other hand the nature and the landscape is amazing

Temo

nice place for family trips or just rest. amazing view of Prague from tower. i liked this plac but not actually must see i think

Zoltán Csillag

Great lookout spot with amazing view ! Lot of stairs , but not too bad. If you arrive just after lunchtime there might not be a line at all.

Jonathan

Make sure to visit the tower at sunset for a cheesy, but awesome (!!!) look over the golden-lighted city .

Sara ????

Highly recommended! Prettiest view of Prague & there is an elevator ! It’s a win-win.

Roxie Fog

the gardens are lovely to walk through and even without going up the tower u get decent views of the city

Kenneth Wong

A definite place to go for sunset . Slowly walk the stairs and enjoy the view along the way.

Jonathan

P.S: if you're scared of height ... That will be a challenge! You should probably buy a ticket for the lift and leave out the iron spiral stairs !

Paul Lloyd

Amazing views across Prague. Climb (up exposed staircase) may be a little unsettling for those afraid of heights.

Mert Genç

Whole Prag is under your feet... What a view !! I suggest you to go there by using funicular machine.

In Your Pocket

Ride the funky funicular up Petřín Hill and walk pass the tower across to the castle area. Read more

Amaury J

Beautiful view of Prague . Quite some work to get to the top. They do not accept cards but there's an ATM downstairs.

Magdalena Mrázková

Amazing view of Prague . Beware that during weekends there are loads of view-lusting people

Kristina Mutalapova

Totally worth going up all those steps . Once you're there you don't wanna go down

Aycan

Yükseklik korkusuuuu????????????

Carly Edwards

Really beautiful place. Very busy but worth the view

Chris R (thechristophe)

Trip to the top is worth it for a great view of Praha

Giorgis Butt-Head G

Fantastic panoramic views of Prague !

Ayush Aggarwal

Like Effiel tower, you can have a great view ofcity from it

Rana.

You will be tired to arrive this view but it will worth it .. Try to go there at the sunset ????????

Евгений Егоров

Greatest views from here! Go there only on funicular :)

Pavel Kesada

= elevator is temporary not working, so you'd be ready to walk up some 300 steps ;) but it worth it!

Em

299 steps up; 299 steps down for around 7min each. Reaching the viewing platform is well worth it. The view from the top is magnificent!

Zuzana Krajcir Rakyta

Beautiful view but crowded . Go there early in morning

Maarten

Must-visit! Take the stairs and enjoy the gorgeous view over Prague.

Arisa W.

There is a discount for student ID! It is only 65kc for student.

Matas Karoblis

If you are in Prague,you must visit the tower. Unbelievable views up there.

Veronika

This place is the best during the spring ????

GowithOh

Did you know that Prague has its own mini Eiffel Tower ?

Martin Paluch

It is magical to visit it at late evening.

Ruxo Zheng

Great view indeed for 120kc a person!

Worth going up to see the view of the whole city .
