Funicular
We are sorry, but the funicular is out of service due to refurbishment. New carriages will welcome passengers in 2026.
See how will the new carriages look like:
How to get to Petřín hill alternatively?
The steep way ⬤
The shortest way to Petřín is a direct ascent from Újezd. The walk takes about half an hour and is physically quite demanding. The total altitude gained is 130 meters, but there are a couple of nice views on the way up. Short and steep route to Petřín Hill on a map
The gentle way ⬤
Another way to get to Petřín Hill is from Pohořelec, where you can get from Újezd with routes 22 or 23. From there, the route is longer but gentler (43 meters of altitude difference) and takes you through Strahov monastery and the Petřín park. Long and gentle route to Petřín Hill on a map
The flat way ⬤
The easiest way to get to the top of Petřin is either from stop Koleje Strahov or Stadion Strahov. Buses 143 or 149 will take you to Koleje Strahov from Dejvická (metro A) or Malovanka (tram 22). You can also take bus 176 from Karlovo náměstí (metro B) or Švandovo divadlo (trams 9, 12, 15 and 20) to the final stop of Stadion Strahov. Both stops, Stadion and Koleje, are right next to the Great Strahov Stadium, the largest stadium in the world, although now defunct and serving as a sports training centre. From there it is a level walk through Strahov dormitories and to the viewing tower. The flat route from Stadion Strahov on a map.
