Petrin Tower Prague

Petrin Tower was built in Prague in 1891 for the purpose of an industrial exhibition. The idea to build the tower came after the Eiffel Tower was first presented in Paris. Petrin Tower resembles the famous Eiffel Tower in its visual design, which is why it was nicknamed the Prague Eiffel Tower. It is 63.5 meters tall and is used as both a lookout and transmission tower.
The Petrin Tower is located on Petrin Hill, which is about 30 minutes of casual walk from Prague Castle.
