| On the side of Petřín Hill are two buildings. The first is the wonderfully situated Nebozizek Restaurant. The other is Petřínské Terasy Café. Both are built on a level with Prague Castle (which occupies the neighbouring hill), and both offer stunning views over Prague.
If you've been exploring the attractions at the top of Petřín Hill, Petřínské Terasy is just a short walk down, somewhere to enjoy a beer, coffee or hot chocolate throughout the year while soaking up the panorama.
During winter, the café provides a warm respite from the cold exposure of the hill. This may be the centre of Prague, but for walkers wandering through the snowy woods and parkland of Petřín Hill, it can feel a world away from the city below.
In summer, a large terrace opens in front of the café, where visitors can enjoy a drink in the sunshine (hopefully!) and watch the light dance across Prague's red rooftops and spires.
Whether you visit Petřínské Terasy Café or the slightly more formal Nebozizek Restaurant, allow plenty of time. Order one extra drink. Petřín Hill, for us here at Prague Experience, is one of the true pleasures of Prague, especially on a fine day. The temperature does not matter, but clear skies certainly help.
HOW TO REACH PETŘÍNSKÉ TERASY CAFÉ
Travel options from the historic centre:
1. The Petřín Funicular offers the easiest and most enjoyable way to reach Petřínské Terasy. The funicular departs from Újezd in the Lesser Town, a 5-minute walk from Újezd tram stop. Alight at Nebozízek stop.
2. Petřínské Terasy can also be reached on foot from the bottom of Petřín Hill. The walk takes around 20 minutes and is reasonably steep, but passes through parkland and woodland.
3. During daylight hours, visitors can explore Petřín Tower and the other attractions at the top of Petřín Hill, then walk down through the trees and parkland to Petřínské Terasy.
4. Take a taxi.
At the end of your visit, take the funicular or a taxi back into the city centre. Alternatively, a lovely way to finish the outing is to walk down Petřín Hill to the Lesser Town and stroll across Charles Bridge. |
