While having lunch at Cafe’ Imperial, I chatted with two ladies from England who clued me in about Petřín Hill. According to them, this attraction was not to be missed during my trip! Gladly, I took their advice.
I rode the Funicular from Malá Strana all the way up to the top of the hill. It was magical to watch the city below shrink into tiny dots as I overlooked the entire panoramic view.
Surrounding Petřín Tower are landscaped gardens, including a beautiful rose garden.
Fresh air and fragrant flora dreams.
A mini version of Paris’s Eiffel Tower, the Petřín Lookout Tower (Petřínská rozhledna), was built in 1891. I obviously had to climb to the very top!
I climbed 299 steps to get to the top of the tower and see the city views. It was truly spectacular. I’m not sure I could ever properly articulate it.
I want to be there now. What a special city.
