Loved this attraction. The walk up to the tower itself it a really nice walk with some steep parts but well worth it. Once the top the views are great and even better when you climb the steps to the top of the tower. You can tie the funicular at a cost of 60czk but if you’ve got the public transport day pass or 3 day pass you get on for free as the same as the other trams busses and metro link. The gardens are also nice,some were being worked on when we went but still nice to walk through. All in all a great use of time and quicker if you take the funicular if you’re short on time but want to see the views.

Took a walk from town up to the tower (few miles). Stopping for coffee/photos on the way. It's a bit of a hike up to the platform but the reward is Fantastic Views. Just under half way up the tower there is a large platform where you an relax/take photos etc. Continue up to the very top and you are inside. Can get pretty busy. Especially with only 1 window open if you want to take a photo without any window glare in your pics (which everyone wants to do). Costs a few quid to get in the tower but worth it for the views if you like this kind of thing.

The tower is available to enter for a fee. There is a lift to the top that can be accessed for an additional fee. The tower stays open until 2100 at night and gives great views of the city in night and day. For anyone who enjoys heights, or views, or 19th century engineering, this is a great place to visit.

If you want to see Prague from up high then this is a must. You walk up through a lovely park with well kept garden....be warned it's a steep climb but you take it at your own pace. The tower at the top of the gardens is a mini Eiffel tower. You can either take the lift or climb the staircase all the way to the top. I walked and there are rest spots at regular intervals. When you get to the top it's worth the work. You get the most amazing views of Prague and it's suburbs. Stunning views. Well worth doing .

Highly recommend going to prague castle first before it gets too busy and then walk to petrin tower. Lots of steps and definitely needed googlemap to help us but it was a lovely day and walk. Not well suited if you have mobility or fitness issues due to stairs and cobblestones. Funicular and elevator were closed for maintenance so we got our exercise. Petrin tower was not very lined up when we arrived around noon but was more busy once we came down. Purchased the combo ticket including the mirror maze which was cheaper than buying individual tickets. The mirror maze is quite short, perhaps of more interest if you are with children but it was still fun with my adult daughter. We enjoyed sitting in the court yard at the base of Petrin tower amongst the tree canopies. Nice walk down (again, definitely needed googlemap to help) and visited the memorial to victims of communism at the bottom of Petrin hill.

We decided to walk up to the tower through the park instead of taking the railway. The path that we took was a little steep in places, but I think there are other paths that you could take that are not so steep. It was well worth the hike the park looked beautiful in the autumn . We queued for about 10 minutes to get to the tower and climbed to the top, which was well worth it as the views were spectacular on the clear day. I would recommend doing this towards the end of your trip so you can identify everything that you have visited . We stopped at a little rustic café, on the way down where the drinks were really reasonable, the staff friendly and the hotdogs were delicious .

Overall, this provides a good vantage point over Prague, so maybe if it is not busy, if you happen to qualify for some form of discount or if you have the Prague card (assuming it covers it), the worth considering. We went up and whilst the view was good, we felt the overall experience was somewhat lacking. Firstly, it was very busy. Responses to some comments claim they regulate the number of people, we really did not find this. Whilst going up/down the staircases and whilst on both the lower and upper level platforms, we found them all fairly congested. Platforms were fine as they are more or less enclosed - less so with the stairs! Secondly, no bathrooms (or the only ones we saw involved an additional fee). Finally, ticket prices are on the high side. Considering you are walking up/down, just feels like they are milking tourists to the max.

The view from the top was very good. It is a bit of a hike to get to the Tower, via tram and funicular. Then a walk to the Tower. It was cold and windy (not their fault). It is a high walk with many steps and a battle at the top with crowded many people. But worth a visit for that view of Prague.

Petrin tower is listed high up there as sites to see and visit while in Prague. I was excited to go here, however go here is all we did as the queue at the ticket office was fearful and seemed to move slower than snail speed. Also ..... completely overpriced if you don't mind me saying. We took a nice walk up round by the castle and monastery and then took the funicular railway back down for the novelty factor, which we enjoyed. The tower is lit up at night and nice to look at. Sad to read reports of rude staff at the ticket office, however in all honesty we found a high level of rudeness and low customer services standards from many 'local' people during our stay in Prague which was very disappointing. Tourism is their bread and butter, yet seemingly, customer services is very low in their priorities throughout the city. 🙄😕

Be sure to either climb the tower or get the lift to the top for some spectacular views of Prague, it's 299 steps up a spiral stairway but well worth it. Get the funicular to the top of the hill and its included in your daily travel pass. The tower is a 5 minute walk away. After the tower, take a walk across the tops to the castle and cathedral
