We took the funicular up the hill. The name Petrin probably derives from the latin name Mons Petrinus meaning "rocky hill"
The funicular up the hill
The park is an ideal place of relaxation for the locals.
The landmark here is the Observation Tower (an imitation of Eiffel Tower) built for the Jubilee Exhibition in 1891.
It is said that one can get a panoramic view of Prague from the tower. The only way to the viewing platform is to climb up the 299 steps. So, guess why we didn't go up.
