Set out for the top of Petřín with its elegant lookout tower inspired by the famous Eiffel Tower in Paris! After having conquered the 299 steps, a breathtaking view will open out for you over the panorama of the city with its abundance of spires, chimneys and spectacular facades of the Baroque palaces. Petřín is currently a popular place for lovers, as well as a place where you can wander about undisturbed, have a picnic with friends or have a seat in one of the little pubs.

Petřín is a poetic place in all seasons. Whether you come here in spring when the heavenly fragrance of rose bushes fills the air, or in summer when you can lie in the soft grass and read your favourite book. In the autumn, the coloured leaves on the trees create an indescribable backdrop to the panorama of Prague and in winter you will be amazed by the romantic view of the snow-covered roofs of the Lesser Quarter and with the aroma of mulled wine wafting through the air.
