This tower has a wonderful view of Prague and is a fun climb to the top! It's around 300 steps, I think.

Liked: the view is awesome Disliked: almost 300 stairs (more exactly 299) sounds easy, but is not as easy :( If you go to the upper level (and you should!), better try the lift!

We went here with a couple of friends. There is a nice food and pivo bit at the bottom. The prices are reasonable and the ques were no issue. The views are quality and there is a lift for those that don't want to take on 300ish stairs. The surrounding area offers lots to do also. The only issue is... More

We paid 320czk for the two of us to go up in the lift. I was glad as the day was quite warm. The view was good and there's a member of staff at the top deck to take care of the traffic and he was very helpful explaining the sights to us.

You can get some nice views from the park itself, but the extra high allows you a much better view so you can see the river and the Charles bridge. The top observation deck has windows, only a couple of which were open on our visit, so you may want to take some pictures from the stairs just below the... More

While the view from the tower is stunning, you can have the exact same view from just walking in Petřín park, as the tower is only 60 meters tall, so there's no actual need to go up the tower's 300 stairs.

Relatively cheap to enter (105 CZK for adults or 55CZK for students/under 26) and a great view of the city. I think I preferred the view from the Vitkov monument though.

Catch the funicular tram up Petrin Hill and climb the many steps to the top of the tower! It was 55Kc with student cards (Prague is a great place to visit if you have one - discounts everywhere!) and was well worth the small cost. The views are amazing - views of the Old Town Square and the Castle are... More

Atop the Petřín hill is a lookout tower that offers incredible views across Prague, the Castle and the enormous Strahov Stadium. Admission costs 105CZK per adult (approx 4 Euros) and there is no lift so be prepared to climb the steps to the top. There are opportunities to observe the view from outside, or inside through glass windows if the... More

Beyond the busy streets & squares of Prague's historic centre, be sure not to overlook the parks. Prague is a remarkably green city, and one of the many green islands in this city is Petrin Hill. It is a gem, adjacent to Prague Castle, via Strahov Monastery, it stands above the Lesser Town. Easily accessible, and within close proximity to... More
