Petřín Hill

Petřín Hill is one of the most lively parks in Prague. This old vineyard is one of the most delightful green spaces in the city and a favourite among locals, where many go to sunbathe or walk down its wooded paths.

To reach the top of the hill (standing at 452 ft - 138 m), visitors can stroll through its gardens or take the funicular from Újezd street.

Petřín Lookout Tower

Standing 206 ft (63 m) tall, the Petřín Lookout Tower is very similar to the Eiffel Tower and its observation deck is the highest in Prague. From the top of the structure, you will be 656 ft (200 m) above the Vltava River.

Petřín Lookout Tower was built two years after the Eiffel Tower by the Czech Tourist Club, who had visited Paris and had been so fascinated by the wrought iron lattice structure that they decided to build a similar one for the Jubilee Exhibition in Prague in 1891.

You can visit the Petřín Lookout Tower every day from 10 am to 6-8 pm, depending on the season. A basic ticket for adults is Kč 220 (US$ 9.20), while a reduced ticket for children aged 6-15, students under 26, and seniors is Kč 150 (US$ 6.27). Families can get an offer of Kč 440 (US$ 18.40).

Mirror Maze

Located just a few feet away from the tower is the Mirror Maze, a pavilion that was also built for the Prague Jubilee exhibition in 1891.

Inside, there are a small labyrinth and a room full of convex mirrors. If you are travelling with children, this might be a fun place to visit.
