It rises 327 m above sea level and some 130 m above the left bank of the Vltava River.

The hill, almost entirely covered with parks, is a favorite recreational area for the inhabitants of Prague.

Other sights include the Rose Garden, Mirror Maze, Cathedral of Saint Lawrence, and St Michael Church.
