The Petřín tower was built in 1891, and as a model was taken the Eiffel Tower in Paris, built in 1889. The tower has a height of 62.5 meters and can be reached by the funicular, which was also built in 1891, on the occasion of the Commemorative Industrial Exhibition in Prague. The tower itself has 299 steps, but you can use the elevator, too. The climb is really worth - Prague can be seen in all angles from a 360 degree perspective.
