We love to discover a city from above. Viewpoints, observation towers, church towers … we climb stairs, walk up steep paths or even use a lift just to enjoy an unforgettable view.
Prague offers many beautiful viewpoints. With every new visit to the city we conquer a different place and enjoy the view over the city.
Top viewpoints in Prague
We present here great places where you can enjoy the view over Prague.
When thinking of Prague Castle, everyone first thinks of the city's tourist highlight. Only very few visitors are drawn to the second Prague Castle, the Vyšehrad.
On the left bank of the Vltava River is Petřín, a hill 327 meters high. The hill is forested, has some Prague sights and belongs to the recreational area of the city.
If you leave the tourist area on Petřín, you enter an area that is no less interesting. We have moved away from the tourist stream and discovered the Strahov stadium and its surroundings.
The Vltava River is the longest river in the Czech Republic. It is a tributary of the river Elbe and originates from two streams, the Warm Moldau in the Bohemian Forest and the Cold Moldau in the Bavarian Forest.
The TOWER PARK PRAHA is very close to the centre of Prague and it is home to the largest building in Prague, the Žižkover TV Tower.
The world’s largest bronze horseman statue is located in Prague. It stands on the Vitkov hill, high above the city - the Jan-Žižka monument.
What does the Eiffel Tower have to do with Prague? And why is Prague home to the little sister of the Eiffel Tower, the Petřín tower?
What does the Expo / World Exposition of 1958 have to do with Prague? This was our question when we followed the signs for "Expo 1958" in Letná Park.
When you are on the bridge "Cechuv most" and peek over the Vltava you can see a huge metronome high up in the Letná Park.
