Don't lose your way in the mirror labyrinth! This is a maze created of trick mirrors to distort your body in all sorts of ways. There is also Petrin Lookout Tower which seems almost like the Eiffel Tower of Paris. Leave a Comment |
Petrin hill and tower are located in Mala Strana. This is where the locals come to relax and sunbathe. There's a funicular that takes you up the hill (requires public transportation ticket, 12 Kc). The tower has 299 steps with several observation decks on the way up (40 Kc). From the top you can see all of Prague (orange and green!), the river valley, and all the way to the mountains.
There is also a 'labyrinth' on Petrin Hill (40 Kc). It is a small mirror maze with a room of funny mirrors at the end. Not really much, but good for a laugh if you're up for it. Leave a Comment |
Petrin is a large hill made into a city park right next to the castle area where the citizens of Prague go to relax and enjoy a weekend afternoon. You can either walk all the way up the hill with increasingly amazing views of the city, or take the funucular up the hill and end up at the top, where there is a garden, a maze, a glass house, and Petrin Tower. Half way up there is also a restaurant to grab a snack or a pint of the ever popular Czech beer. At the bottom of the hill is a large playground for children where parents can sit and relax while their kids tear around the place!
There are many interesting things to see on Petrin Hill so make sure you bring your camera! Leave a Comment |
We'd been planning on taking the Funicular Railway up the hill to check out the views over Prague, and were devastated when we finally managed to find it only to see a sign saying it was closed for renovations for the whole summer. We eventually decided to come back later on in the day when it was a bit cooler and walk up instead, and I'm so glad we did. There's actually some really beautiful walks around the wooded hillside, and although we took the most direct route we could find to the top, it was nice to meander back down again later on. There are plenty of little grassy areas where you can stop for a rest and breaks in the trees offering views over the city. Although it's not something I'd wish to tackle in the heat of the day, it's definitly a very pleasant way to spend an hour or so in the evening. Leave a Comment |
When you a have free time and you feel with force to climb the hill, you can go till the top of Mount Petrin and see the all city view. That's wonderful!!! Leave a Comment |
While it's easy to get caught up in the nonstop activity of the Old Town and Mala Strana, it's nice to get away from the city and spend an afternoon on Petrin Hill. Take the funicular up and walk down. I stopped at a nice cafe about halfway down and had a reasonably priced snack. Also, Petrin Hill is one of the best spots to take photos overlooking the older parts of the city. Leave a Comment |
