The Mirror Maze (Zrcadlové bludiště in Czech) of Petřín is a labyrinth with the walls made of mirrors. There is also a chamber with various distorting mirrors in the labyrinth, and a diorama depicting the final battle of the Thirty Years’ War on the Charles Bridge.

The labyrinth is located in a Neo-Gothic building next to the Cathedral of Saint Lawrence. It is a replica of a medieval city gate and it was built for an 1891 Jubilee exhibition (same as the neighbouring Petřín Lookout Tower).
