Under the tower

Petřín Observation Tower, Petřín Hill, Prague, Czech Republic

 

The Petřín Lookout Tower (Czech: Petřínská rozhledna) is a 63.5-metre-tall steel-framework tower in Prague, which strongly resembles the Eiffel Tower. The Petřínská rozhledna was built in 1891 and was used as an observation tower as well as a transmission tower.

Today the Petřínská rozhledna is a major tourist attraction.

 

The two observation platforms are accessible via 299 stairs in sections of 13 per flight running around the inside of the structure.
