Prague - Petrín Tower Rozhledna

 
Built on Petrín Hill, Petrín Tower (Rozhledna) is a mini replica of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Visitors can climb the Petrín Tower and be treated to the panoramic view. Although the tower only stands one fifth as high as the Eiffel Tower, the Petrín Towers position high on the hill, gives it extra height allowing for the extraordinary view. The tower was built out of used railway track in time for the 1891 Exhibition in Prague.
