Where to stay near Prague’s Petřín Funicular

The Petřín Funicular has linked the Malá Strana district with the top of Petřín Hill for over 100 years. It cuts straight through the middle of Petřín Gardens – Prague’s largest green space – offering fantastic city views at the summit, and the chance to visit Petřín Tower and Štefánik Observatory.

To help you beat the queues, we’ve picked out five trendy apartments within walking distance of its starting point in Újezd.

Blue Oak

Each studio, one or two-bedroom apartment at Blue Oak overlooks a cobblestone courtyard with patio furniture that guests can use as they please. Inside, apartments are decorated with calming pastel colours and floral wallpaper, with light wooden floors and glossy kitchen units. They all feature high ceilings and tall windows, and the duplex apartments have their own attic bedrooms. From here, both the Petřín Funicular and St. Vitus Cathedral are less than ten minutes on foot.

Malá Strana Little Palace Appartment

Found in a renovated 17th-century building, Malá Strana Little Palace Appartment is a seamless blend of chic and rustic. Antique frescoes decorate the hallways leading to the apartment, while dark wooden beams contrast with a modern kitchen and bright patchwork armchairs. Outside, there’s a pleasant courtyard with tables and chairs where you can eat a meal or unwind after a day’s sightseeing. A 5-minute walk will bring you to the Petřín Funicular, where a train will be waiting to take you to Petrin Observation Tower at the top of the hill.

Remember Residence

Remember Residence is housed inside an old townhouse that’s painted in vivid pink. The interiors are bright and modern – picture hammocks swinging over shiny parquet floors and sky windows with light streaming through. There’s also a shared garden with decking and outdoor furniture, and personal touches like the ‘Remember Wall’ where guests can write their memories. Kampa Museum is around the corner, while the Petřín Funicular takes just under 15 minutes to reach on foot.

Prague Kampa Park Apartment

Travellers with an artistic side will appreciate the brilliant photography displayed on the walls of Prague Kampa Park Apartment. The owner takes photos for a living, and has decorated the place with prints of men and children encountered around the world. You can make your own meals using the kitchenette or the barbecue on the private terrace. Spread across two levels, this loft is a short stroll from both the Petřín Funicular and Charles Bridge.
