Petrin Tower, Prague Overview

The Petrin Lookout Tower, situated atop Petrin Hill in Mala Strana, is 63.5 meters tall and was constructed in 1891. It is identical to the Eiffel Tower in Paris, which served as a transmission and observation tower. The tower is now a popular tourist destination. A 299-step climb will lead you to the summit, helping you with calming sights of the entire city.

The Petrin tower includes two lookout levels. The topmost is about 55 meters high, while the lowermost is located in a neo-Renaissance building. The central portion of the building is an octagonal tube, including two spiral staircases with 299 stairs in each direction. Bracing components in the form of Saint Andrew's crosses are prevalent throughout the structure. Between 1953 and 1992, the observation tower was used as a TV transmission tower. Today, it operates only as a lookout tower.
