About this tour
This session climbs through Petřín's wooded park to the small lookout tower built in the style of the Eiffel Tower. You see the path rising through trees above the city, then the view from the tower's base over Prague's rooftops. It is a nature-focused break from the old town's streets below.
I keep a brisk pace on the climb, then slow down at the top so you can properly take in the view. Questions come naturally once we stop moving. A short note on the funicular that also reaches the hill follows by message afterwards.
This suits anyone who wants to see Prague from above rather than only at street level. It also suits viewers who enjoy a walk with a clear destination.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
