Conquer the Petřín Tower Stairs at Golden Hour

Golden hour panoramic view of Prague's historic rooftops and river from high up on a lookout tower.
Categories: Traveling | General

The Petřín Lookout Tower (Petřínská rozhledna), built in 1891 as a miniature counterpart to Paris's Eiffel Tower, delivers the most comprehensive 360-degree panorama of Prague. For the most dramatic views, time your ascent for golden hour just before sunset, when the spires of Old Town and Prague Castle are bathed in warm amber light.

While an elevator is available for a supplemental fee, taking the 299 spiral stairs is typically faster than waiting for the lift and lets you appreciate the unfolding skyline from multiple heights on your way up.
