We rode the funicular up and walked for about 3 hours. The scenery is spectacular. There are a number of interesting sights within easy walking distance. More

For a mere 24 Kr you can take the funicular up to the top of Petrin Hill. Alternatively use your 110Kr day pass to include it in part of a day out. Once at the top there are superb gardens, and a number of visitor attractions. One for the children is the hall of mirrors, which I remembered from my... More

It's a little out of the way and a bit of a trek to the top, but well worth the amazing views of Prague. Plus, it's only a few bucks for admission. More

We used the lift, which only took 4-6 people so I imagine there could be delays when crowded. Try and go early in the day before the crowds ! More

We had perfect weather and spend many hours here. On the walk down we were treated to an outdoor concert band playing at the monestary. Felt llike we were in the Sound of Music! More

The petrin hill is not to be missed. Use the funiculaire if you are not fit to go up as it's a steep way up. but worth the visit. I would skip on the attractions over there and simply enjoy the park. More

We took the funicular to the top and walked back down. The ticket is covered by the normal public transport ticket at no extra cost. Interesting display of the history of the various funicular railways at the top station. Well-kept gardens at the top and not at all crowded. Mostly local people and not too many tourists venture up here... More

Loved the ride up on the funicular tram, enjoyed the view of Prague from the platform of the observation tower, even though I had to climb the 299 steps !!!!! well worth the effort, breath taking!!!!!!! More
