About this tour
This session covers Petřín's orchards and a quieter path away from the main route up to the tower. You see rows of fruit trees that have stayed part of the park for generations, then a viewpoint most visitors never find since it sits off the busier trail. It is a calmer alternative to the tower session.
I keep a relaxed pace throughout, since the orchards invite it more than a direct climb would. Questions come as we walk, and I am happy to slow down further if the blossom or the view catches your attention. A short note on the best season to visit follows by message afterwards.
This suits anyone who has already done the tower session and wants a quieter side of the hill. It also suits viewers who prefer nature over landmarks.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide

A short list to keep 3 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Svíčková (marinated beef in cream sauce) and Vinohrady, worth a slower look.
Good to know
