We bought tickets to go up the hill. They were validated for 30 min only. We never watched time so nobody did tell us that to go back down you need to buy another tickets.when we got down in funicular there were security guys checking tickets. They told us we have to pay fine which was just ridiculous:800 crowns for... More

Amazing location, the best views of Prague are experienced on the top of Petrín tower. The park itself is also very beautiful, and going up the funicular you can sight the city above the trees - marvellous sights...

Nice place. The views from the top of the tower are amazing, Prague city with the river and the bridges. On the other side, the castle with the old town.. The gardens around are nice and well maintained, segway is a great way to explore the place.

We rode the funicular up the hill to the Petrin Lookout Tower. The view from the top was the best in Prague. The park below was abloom with tulips and breathtaking in its beauty. What a treat for the senses!

We walked up Petrin Hill twice on our trip to Prague and we definitely agreed that if we did it again we would take the funicular. But if you have a lot of spare time and energy you may want to consider walking! At the top is the observation tower which you will get great views of Prague (you need... More

Started the day with a communist memorial dedicated to victims, walked up the hill to a great beer and nice view, reached the tower and again gorgeous views and went to a Monastery for food and drinks. Loved Petrin Hill!!

We had purchased a 24hour travel ticket (for metro, tram, bus & Funicular) for 110czk and initially went to Prague Castle. Once we had walked to the bottom of the castle grounds we caught a No 22 tram to Ujezd where we joined a number of other people waiting for the funicular. For a 30minute visit the cost is 24czk...

Get a tram to the funicular (Uzyed), and stop half way up for a drink or lunch, and then carry on to the top (or vice-versa). At the top there's loots to see, although the best views of the city are really from the half-way station. There are the mini-eiffel tower, the Stahrov Monastery and lovely walks. Information for non-Czech... More

It's easy to get to, just a short walk from the west end of the Charles bridge and then a funicular or a pleasant hill climb gets you to the tower. The tower offers great views over Prague castle and cathedral and back to the river and old town. If you don't want to go up the tower just enjoy... More

Taking the funicular (CZK24 one way) takes the strain out of the climb to the top of the hill. Climb the Obseravtion Tower (CZK105) to get fantastic 360 degree views and dozens of photo opportunities over the entire city. View the Hunger Wall and Rose Garden before wandering slowly back to the city via the path to the Strahov Monastery... More
