1) Up Vlaลกskรก Street To Petลรญn Hill
To make the most of your viewing experience in Big Strahov Garden, take the stairs up from Vlaลกskรก Street, that start around the corner of Lobkovickyฬ Palace (the German embassy). Avoid turning around until you are on the top of the hill to be utterly astonished at the view.
2) Na Libuลกince
Another workout, that will be rewarded with some spectacular vistas. Walk up the stairs toward the Vyลกehrad fortress ramparts, pausing briefly on the balcony halfway to look around. Catch your breath and give your legs a rest when you arrive at the top. There is a bar right in front of Saint Peter and Paul Basilica.
3) ลฝiลพkov To Karlรญn Tunnel
This pedestrian tunnel connects Thรกmova Street in Karlรญn with Tachovskรฉ Square in ลฝiลพkov. Try to briefly stop in the middle, where neither end of the tunnel can be seen, to test its acoustics. Funnily enough, the tunnel is located along the Camino di Santiago pilgrimage route.
4) Nuselskรฉ Schody
A series of stairs (182 in total) descending from Vinohrady to Nusle. At the top of the staircase you will see some spectacular villas. At the bottom stands a unique timber house that was built in the 1930s for a rich mine owner. During WWII, it was used as accommodation for the Hitlerjugend and nowadays it sadly is rundown.
5) Kamzรญkovรก
As a quick escape from the Old Town Square, turn onto Celetnรก and find the entrance between numbers 8 and 10. It will take you into Kamzรญkovรก, where you will find the โHouse at the Black Peacockโ. There used to be a famous brothel here, which was frequented by Otto van Bismarck and Gustav Mahler (among others).
