The Tower is now open again after being restored. There is no life however so you must climb all 299 steps to get the views, which are quite good, but I preferred the view from Letna Park, and that was free! Leave a Comment Directions: Petrin Hill, visible from anywhere.

 View from Petrin Hill
Observation Tower by easyoar
This view shows the bend in the river, Charles Bridge is the right most bridge in the picture. You can see the whole city from here, but I normally find aerial views from towers to be a little disappointing when it comes to photographing them.

 Petrin Tower by bugalugs
There is a restaurant on the ground floor and in the basement a museum.
There is a lift but for the energetic 299 steps.
Open 10am-7pm daily- April -Oct
Unfortunately as we were there in November it was shut, but I can imagine the views over the city of Prague must be outstanding from the top.
There is an entrance fee of about 50kc Leave a Comment Directions: Petrin Hill, visible from anywhere.Up near the Castle

 Petrin Tower, Prague by Zandra
The tower stands on the top of the Petrin Hill, where it was built in 1891 (in only 53 days) for the Prague exhibition. The tower is 63, 5 m high (well I know that the "real one" is 324 m, but to height of the tower, one must add the height of Petrin Hill, 318 m ...). The tower has two viewing platforms. The top deck is reached after 299 steps, but the stunning views of the city makes it worth it!
In order to spare your feet & legs...I'd recommend taking the funicular railway up to Petrin Hill and walking down...The ticket cost 12 CZK, unless you have a travel pass. The cable car makes two stops; on the very top of the hill where the tower stands, and about halfway up, where the famous Nebozízek restaurant is located. Also from here you'll have great views of Prague! Actually, some scenes for a recent Bond movie were filmed here. Directions: Petrin Hill, visible from anywhere.

Petrin hill was such a refresmemt after the croweded historic sites of the city. You can get there by walking uphill or you can take funicular railway (from 8 A.M. to 9 P.M. approximately) for a small fee. The main fiture of the hill is Petrin Tower, a miniature replica (60 meters high) of the Eiffel Tower. From the top of the Tower you can admire this beautiful city, the price was less than 1 euro. I also recomend the visit of hall of mirrors it was such a fun. ( see the photos No.4 and 5 of this tip) Leave a Comment Directions: Petrin Hill, visible from anywhere.

 Hmmm, where have I seen
this before...? by M0B1US
Although at around 60m and only a quarter of the height of the Eiffel Tower after which it was modelled, when you take the height of hill into account it makes a spectacular viewing platform - though there are no lifts to help you climb the 299 steps to the top... ;-)
There is a charming cafe on the ground floor and a wonderfully hilariously quirky museum charting the life of the tower's architect - who for the longest time I couldn't remember his name! Now thanks to http://members.virtualtourist.com/m/f7d58/ (Cheers Kev!) I know his name is Jára Cimrman - someone who deserves greater recognition outside of his own country!
This is a great place to come for breathtaking picture opportunities and also the terrific sense of achievement of having reached the top under your own steam! Leave a Comment Directions: Petrin Hill, visible from anywhere.

 Petrin Tower, Prague by der_geograf
The tower is perched high on a hill in the western section of the city. (The hill is pretty steep, and you can take a tram to the top of it.) I climbed the stairs to the top on one of the hottest days in August, but at that height there was a constant breeze that made things more tolerable. There were a lot of stairs, but it was definitely worth it! The view was incredible!
The surrounding park is very shady and also very beautiful, and there is a small restaurant at the base of the tower. Leave a Comment Directions: Petrin Hill, visible from anywhere.

It certainly helps take your mind off of the seemingly endless climb! Leave a Comment Directions: Petrin Hill, visible from anywhere.
