All year · tower from 10:00 to 18:00 in November and December, until 19:00 from April to September
Who it's for
All ages; the tower has a lift

The green hill of Malá Strana is climbed on the funicular from Újezd or on foot among orchards and gardens. At the top, the Petřín tower, a little Eiffel from 1891, has a lift to the 51-metre platform: on clear days you see the whole city. Next to it, the mirror maze amuses the children. Walk down towards the castle or towards Strahov Monastery.

Watch out in November 2026: the tower is closed from the 7th to the 14th and the funicular does not run from the 10th to the 13th.
