Prague, Czech Republic – Petrin Hill – Tickets For Two Plus Baggage

Prague’s Petrin Hill

Above the city lies Petrin Hill. A walk of a little over a kilometer and about three hundred steps (if you happen to go that way), or you can take the funicular (which we found to be very crowded on the Sunday), so we walked.

Prague – Hunger Wall Gate to Gardens on Petrin Hill

Prague – Three Dome Stefanik Observatory on Petrin Hill

Prague – The Stefanik Observatory on Petrin Hill

Prague – Aviation Monument next to Stefanik Observatory on Petrin Hill

The nice thing about walking, aside from someone you don’t know breathing on you in a confined space, is you get to see things along the way the others in the funicular won’t. Plus, if the weather is nice, it’s actually quite a nice way to spend a Sunday morning.

Prague – Chapel of Boziho hrobu on Petrin Hill

Prague – Calvary Chapel and Saint Lawrence Church on Petrin Hill

Prague – Saint Lawrence Church on Petrin Hill

Prague – Fourteenth Station of the Cross on Petrin Hill

Prague – Park on Petrin Hill – Gabi, Patti and Ericka descending stairs

Prague – Park on Petrin Hill – US Embassy to the left

After Petrin Hill, we continued our walk along the river a bit, before going across the Legion Bridge. Here we watched the river boats enter the river lock mechanism, in order to continue their journeys up the river.

Restaurants

Luka Lu

If you are looking for good food while dining in a very off-beat interior, look no further than Luka Lu’s. Located on Újezd street in Mala Strana, it is an excellent place for lunch.

After our journey through the park and Petrin Hill, the four of us stopped for lunch. The food at Luka Lu’s was very good, service was great and the off-beat interior somewhat of a treat. If you are looking for something different, this might be the place for you. The prices were very reasonable too!
