The Petřín Lookout Tower was built in 1891 after members of the Czech Tourist Club were blown away by their trip to the world exhibition in Paris and their visit to the Eiffel Tower. The lookout tower is at the top of Petřín Hill, which boosts its height of 208 foot (63.8m) and means visitors will get an amazing view of the beautiful city of Prague. Visitors can ride the elevator to the top or climb the 299 stairs, plus there’s an exhibition underneath the tower to explain the history of Petřín Hill and its tower.
