Time Out says

What is it?

This UNESCO-listed landscape, made up of manicured hedges, curved staircases, and statues of Roman gods, is a popular spot for both weddings and engagement photos.

Is it worth visiting?

Calling all fashionistas and photographers: get your poses and your lenses ready. The lookout point offers visitors a sprawling panorama of Prague’s quintessential red rooftops, with the silhouette of the Prague Castle and St Nicholas church on your left and the faint outline of the Žižkov TV Tower dominating the distant skyline on your right. Don’t forget to look up as you enter or exit the gardens to admire the arched, frescoed ceilings of the Sala Terrena building. 

Ticketing info

Entrance to these gorgeous gardens costs 130 Kč for adults, 100 Kč for students and children, and 380 Kč for families. A season ticket will set you back 850 Kč.

Time Out tip

Ignore any GPS directions that tell you to enter from nearby Petřín park – the main gate, which looks more like a driveway, is actually on Karmelitská street closer to Malostranské náměstí.
