Reasons to visit Prague, there is a whole series.

Why not look at Prague from above?
Because it is of little use, it still applies what it did centuries ago: Prague is known as the centenary heart of Europe and the views of its historic center from a bird’s eye view are among the best you can see. You don’t even have to buy tickets and climb on Petrin lookout tower or on the TV tower on the interface Žižkova AND Vineyard – although record lovers should definitely include it in their itineraries, because with a height of 216 meters it is not only one of Prague’s landmarks, but also the tallest building in the capital.
Instead, go to By summer and walk through the park to The Hanavsky Pavilionfrom where there is an impressive view of the Vltava and the Prague bridges, from Čechov through Mánesův and Charles Bridge up to the Legií Bridge, the Jiráský Bridge and the Palacký Bridge. According to many photographers, this is the most beautiful view of Prague that you can find!
For another, completely different, but also unforgettable view, this time on towers of the Old Townso come on Petřín hillside. If you are looking for the nicest look at Prague Castle with Little Party and the baroque church of St. Nicholas, try the Úvoz street in Malostra and the walking path along the Petřín hillside with viewpoints below the Strahov Monastery.
Prague is almost unknown
Little known, but all the more interesting, is the view from Vítkov, a massive hill with a monumental A national monument AND statue of Jan Žižka from Trocnov. One of the largest equestrian statues in the world reminds us that the battle between the Hussites and the Crusaders took place here in July 1420. Right from here, from the terraces of the monument and around the statue, as well as from several places on the surrounding roads, leading to Army Museum at the western foot of the hill, you can see the panorama of Prague from a very unusual angle and opposite to how you usually know the centenary nut – through the roofs and towers Old Town and Malá Strana up to Petřín AND Prague Castle.
View of the city from the Vltava river
You can also enjoy unexpected and beautiful views of Prague from the deck of cruise ships; with the Prague Steamship Company, for example, you can travel to cruise to the Prague zoo even a little outside Prague, for example on Slapy or until Mělník. The Prague ferries are a real treat; they are in operation from the end of March until the end of October and the same tickets apply to them as for trams or the metro.
Among the most famous is the ferry that commutes between the Pražská tržnice wharf in Holešovice and the embankment in Karlín with a stopover at Štvanice islandor ferry at the opposite end of Prague, which connects the northern tip of the Císařská louka island with both banks of the Vltava, i.e. Výtoní and Smíchov. By the way, during that cruise you will enjoy an unusual view of Vyšehrad and the famous Vyšehrad rock.
