Background & story
The Petřín Lookout Tower is a steel-framework tower 63.5 metres (208 ft) tall on Petřín Hill in Prague, built in 1891. It resembles the Eiffel Tower and was used as an observation tower as well as a transmission tower. Today the tower is a major tourist attraction.

Don’t miss: A strong city viewpoint, but the Petřín funicular is currently out of service. Use tram 22 to Pohořelec or a bus to the Strahov stops for the gentlest approach.
