The temperature in Prague at the end of March was around 15 degrees Celsius and was gradually increasing. "This year the weather is warm so the flowers are blooming early," said Mr. Ha. In previous years, winter usually lasted until the end of March and the flowers bloomed later.

Petrin Hill is in its most beautiful flower season, attracting many tourists and locals to visit and take pictures.

Ao dai is the outfit chosen by many Vietnamese people when taking pictures with flowers.

The picture shows almond flowers blooming on the hill.

Almond flowers have five petals and usually come in two main colors: white and light pink. They usually bloom in early spring, March or April in the Northern Hemisphere and September or October in the Southern Hemisphere.

Petrin Hill is one of the city's greenest areas, with more than 2,100 fruit trees. It is also known as "an oasis of peace in the heart of Prague," according to the city's Department of Tourism website.

Petrin Hill is also a favorite destination for families with children and couples in love. The most convenient way to reach the top of the hill is by funicular, which departs from the Ujezd tram station and takes only a few minutes to reach the top.

Visitors can also hike up the hill, the walking trail (photo) allows you to hunt for flowers while walking.

Alternatively, visitors can climb 299 steps to the top of the 60-meter-high Observation Tower for panoramic views of the city.
