Petřín Mirror Maze

The Mirror Maze sits inside a miniature Gothic castle on Petřín Hill, offering two completely different experiences under one ticket. You'll start with the classic hall of distorting mirrors where kids shriek with laughter at their stretched, squished, and wobbling reflections. Then you'll walk into a detailed diorama recreating the 1648 Battle of Prague, complete with period costumes and Charles Bridge in miniature. It's quirky, old school, and genuinely fun for about 15 minutes.

The castle itself feels like a fairy tale prop, built for the 1891 Jubilee Exhibition and designed to look medieval. Inside, the mirror maze isn't actually much of a maze, more like a funhouse with about 20 different distorting mirrors arranged in a small room. The battle diorama comes next, featuring hundreds of tiny figures fighting Swedish troops on a replica Charles Bridge. Kids love making faces in the mirrors while parents appreciate the historical craftsmanship.

Honestly, CZK 150 feels steep for 15 minutes, but kids under 10 will talk about it for days. The mirrors are the real draw here, the diorama is fine but forgettable. Most people combine it with the Petřín Tower next door (another CZK 150) and the funicular ride up (CZK 60), which makes the whole hill experience feel more worthwhile. Skip it if you're traveling without kids or trying to save money.
