Did you know: the Petřín Lookout Tower

The Petřín Lookout Tower, fashioned after the Eiffel Tower in Paris, was constructed in 1891.

It stands 60m tall and has 299 steps. The Petřín Tower was originally built as an observation tower and also receives transmissions.  Today, visitors from all over the world visit Petřín Hill for its lovely gardens and beautiful view.

But did you know that because of the height of the hill, at 318m, the Petřín Lookout Tower actually stands at a higher elevation than the Eiffel Tower in Paris?
