"Petřín is a hill almost 140 metres high, located very close to Prague Castle, and built on the site of former vineyards that have now been converted in a maze of well-kept paths that will lead you around a splendid park. As we were in the New Town district, we took a walk along the Vltava River and crossed the Most Legií Bridge (Bridge of Legions), next to which you will find the magnificent Národní divadlo (National Theatre); however, it is also easily reached by a walk from the Strahov Monastery if you are in the castle area, and otherwise from Malá Strana by taking the funicular.

"Make your way to Petrín Park located on the left bank of the Vitava River and take the funicular up the Petrín Hill (318 meters) to the Petrín Lookout Tower. If you buy a day pass transit ticket, the funicular fare is included. You can also hike to the top of the hill and it takes about 30 minutes. This is a great place to visit for its incredible views of the city. "
