Prague - Petrín Tower
(Local Name: 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. It was originally constructed at a different location and moved to Petrín Hill in the 1930s.
Visitors can climb the hill or take the funicular railway. There are also walking trails on the hill and gardens, making this a very pleasant area to spend some time. At the base of the Petrín Tower is a café.
