Petrin Tower

A must for visiting Prague and seeing views over the city. There are other locations like the tower on the opposite side of the city however we loved the idea of going through the park and going up a historic looking structure. There's a lift option but would recommended the stairs which are partly on the exterior to experience the views (and weather) as you walk up. The lift is best for those who aren't great with heights and those happy to wait) Once at the first viewing platform that was a Que to go to the top which was well worth it.

This tower is located on the tip of the hill. We need to hike for about 1.5km (as per my experience). There will be lot of steps, upways, which we need to hike. But after hiking, we would have breath taking views of prague from one end. Photos will be 👌 if the weather cooperates. I did not accesed to the top of pétrin tower. But I have mentioned the prices for staris and lift as per current date 09-10-2025 in the images. I have not seen any toilets. Foods options available ( bit expensive). Funicular option is not available when we went there. If the funicular is working, it is the best option to reach out.

Tower that served multiple purposes during its life, now dedicated as view platform only. It's possible to go up by both stairs (which have additional viewing platform on the way to the top and elevator (which cost extra and has zeroe views). Offers 360 views of the whole Prague though might get crowded on top and in bad weather it's hard to get good photos. Still I would recommend it as the last of first point looking at everything you visited/going to visit.

The oldest castle in the world! Amazing Bohemian architecture. View from there is amazing. Going inside the castle might be worth it for few individuals who like history. But visiting this place, most people do it for the views. It is even more prettier when lit. It is pure fairy tale when it rains!

Climbing the Petrin Tower is one of the best ways to see Prague and it is absolutely worth the visit. We waited around 15 to 20 minutes to get tickets, which was reasonable given how popular it is. On the first viewing platform we had to wait another 10 minutes before being allowed to go up to the top, but the system works well to control numbers so it never feels overcrowded inside. There is a lift available for an extra cost, but I chose the stairs, which is a good option if you do not mind the climb. From the top the views of Prague are fantastic, stretching right across the city, and in the evening the tower is beautifully illuminated which makes it even more special.

Once of the most popular tourist attractions in Prague but not the easiest to get too. It’s a steep climb uphill along windy paths with no direct route. When you get to the tower it’s busy and the lady in the ticket office isn’t particularly helpful. For an adult is 250 for the stairs or 400 for the lift (around £14.50). Opted for the stairs and glad we did as the lift was very tiny. It’s a long climb up a spiral staircase but there are seats on route to both platforms. The views are spectacular and it’s worth going all the way to the top. Separate staircase to come down.

Climbed up Petrin Tower and was rewarded with stunning panoramic views of Prague. The walk up is pleasant, and the view from the top is absolutely worth it. A great spot to see the city from above!

The climb to Petrin hill where the tower is located can be challenging at best. Its an endless path of stairs going up and up from the buss stop we arrived on (no. 194) but the hike is well worth it. There is a lift that can take you up right to the hill from the other side but during our visit it was not in operation. The hill utself is a beautiful place to visit build like a big park with lots of place to walk around and even a small playground for kids to play in. The tower tour itslef is self explaining. A ticket is pricey especially when you add the added price of using the elevator to get to the top (avoiding additional 300 step climb) which made the visit twice as expensive. But the included mirror house visit made up for it. All in all a good way to spend the day.
