Overview
Built for the 1891 Jubilee Exhibition, this 63.5m steel tower is a miniature Eiffel Tower. Standing on Petrin Hill (318m above sea level), it offers Prague's highest vantage point — on clear days, visibility reaches about 150km. Climbing 299 steps rewards you with a panorama encompassing Prague Castle, Charles Bridge, and the Old Town. Nearby are a mirror maze and a rose garden for a leisurely stroll. Admission about CZK 150. Take the funicular to the top of Petrin Hill, then 10-minute walk.
Opening Hours
10:00-22:00 (Nov-Feb 10:00-20:00).
