Petrin Hill in Prague

In the centre of the Czech capital, Prague, not far from Prague Castle, is located Petrin Hill that towers above the Vltava River.

One may use a funicular to get to the top of the hill.

Or, as one climbs up the hill, one may admire views of Prague.

Many rocks are on the slopes of the hill. Some of them have mystic marks engraved. Think of the Celts who once lived here.

There's some architecture among the greenery of Petrin Hill.

But the "crown" of the hill is a "mini Eiffel Tower". It's a lookout tower, and it gives opportunity to see Prague from above.

That's what you see from the Petrin Tower:

Church of Saint Lawrence below...

...and farther - Prague Castle, Vltava River and the rest of Old Prague.

Petrin Hill is a park zone with a rose garden and a pond.

When in Prague, do not forget to relax on Petrin Hill.
