Podolský Profil Prague

Unexpected view

Janina from Prague

""Podolský Profil" is a great place to go hiking to in Prague during summer. It has a great view over an old swimming pool and it's in the middle of nature."

Are you in Prague and tired of historic houses, thousand of tourists and full restaurants? Go hiking. In Prague, yes. No problem. And you don't have to go far from the city centre.

There is a beautiful rocky spot above the Podolí swimming pool and you can secretly watch the summer laziness from here and enjoy the beauty of nature. But be warned - this is real wilderness, so no high heels!

You can get to Podolský profil either from the Vltava river bank (which means using trams or buses), look closely at Podolí Waterworks and go up - don't worry, it's easy and a nice path and you navigate there by using Google Maps, or you can go from the other side of the city. Just use the underground, go to Pankrác and then it's at your feet.

Podolský profil is a really nice lookout, there are nice paths and rocks and lots of butterflies too, and you can enjoy not only the river and city view but also the beauty of the Podolí Swimming Pool built in 1965 according to functionalist tradition, all from an unexpected angle.

Prague Spotter Janina

About me I'm an old punk, mother of five kids and a workaholic (for obvious reasons), trying to get some sleep, sometimes. I come from a family of car racers, translators and historians. I look at the world and happily take pictures of it. Why I love Prague I love old walls and Prague is full of them. I feel at home in both my cities (I'm from Brno, now living in Prague), and I think my cities like me too. There's always some place to go to (not speaking about pubs etc), something new to see or something seen to explore again. Where else can you find me on...

Drákulov

Unrepeatable Yugoslav brutalism

"Drákulov" in Prague is an impressive building on top of a hill. Its bizarre, brutalist architecture (from 1974) makes people want to come closer...

"Pekařství Martin Černý" is a legendary bakery in Prague where some people have made it a ritual to come every day for fresh Czech cookies. Come early!

"Štencův Dům" is a Dutch house in Prague with a history. Looking at it I'm very motivated to take a look inside. I love the Dutch touch in the city!
