Petřín mirror maze
A favourite spot for children and adults alike. From the outside, this building resembles a small castle, but inside, instead of a labyrinth with mysterious stone hallways, you'll find one made of mirrors. First you'll make your way through the maze to the diorama of the battle of the Praguers against the Swedes at the Charles Bridge in 1648 and then through the "hall of laughter" where warped and twisted mirrors will change your appearance in crazy ways. The e-ticket is valid for 30 days.

ABOUT PETŘÍN MIRROR MAZE
A favourite spot for children and adults alike. From the outside, this building resembles a small castle, but inside, instead of a labyrinth with mysterious stone hallways, you'll find one made of mirrors. First you'll make your way through the maze to the diorama of the battle of the Praguers against the Swedes at the Charles Bridge in 1648 and then through the "hall of laughter" where warped and twisted mirrors will change your appearance in crazy ways.
The structure opened on May 25, 1891, at the Jubilee Provincial Exhibition, serving as the pavilion for the Club of Czech Tourists. It was subsequently reopened on Petřín Hill on May 1, 1892. The former exhibition space was then outfitted with 35 mirrors and inaugurated as the Mirror Maze on May 14, 1893.
